    Always been one of my favorite bands, but their songs are hit or miss. Actually, the segments of their songs are like that. At times they can blow me away with Gahan’s vocals and the layers beneath, and then lose me with a shift into something that’s just not right.

    E.g.:

    If people want to know who built my site, they’ll contact the site owner.

  • On WordPress as a career skill

    WordPress is quickly becoming an essential skill for people in a wide variety of industries. Therefore, it’s imperative that educational institutions prepare graduates to manage, maintain, develop and design WordPress powered sites, blogs and apps. Soon we’ll see WP listed as a requirement on as many job listings as MS-Office, and students should confidently be including WordPress on their resumes.

  • First “daily recap” post

    Jeanne and I were talking about how we have no idea what we did a year ago on any given day, and it’s time to start writing stuff down. So here we go.

    Today I:

    • Met some cool people in Lockport
    • Worked on a few projects
    • Ate a chicken wing
    • Drove to Canada on a picture-perfect evening
    • Taught Nancy how to mow the lawn
