Static Site (Database Free) Contact Form

Although my site is always a work in progress, (I’ve still got plenty of things I need to do on it), I feel like it’s in the final stages. Recently, I was trying to add the finishing touches by implementing a contact form. Mostly, to combat spam. I didn’t want to throw my direct e-mail … Continue reading Static Site (Database Free) Contact Form →

It seems that a year has ended, and new year resolutions are all on the rage again.

Take that, Mr. Barney

We’ve all had those professors/teachers that we just don’t seem to mesh with. Recently, I had a professor with whom I could not set aside my differences. The class was about Mobile Application Development. I went into it thinking, “Wow, I’m excited! Finally, I’ll be able to create an iOS/Android application!” On the first day … Continue reading Take that, Mr. Barney →

Pseudo-Responsive Images

Honestly, I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I didn’t know how to do this before. I’ll be creating a blog post here fairly soon on my conversion from WordPress to Jekyll for this blog, but in doing so, I’ve learned a lot of cool new things. Due to the vast number of mobile devices … Continue reading Pseudo-Responsive Images →

Build a GUI Investment Calculator in Java

I’m not a programmer. Some people just have that natural itch to want to go out and code all day long, but that isn’t me.

So the fact that even I was able to create a simple GUI application should … Continue reading Build a GUI Investment Calculator in Java →

My love-hate relationship with WordPress

Recently, I’ve really been getting fed up with WordPress. And here’s why. WordPress dates all the way back to 2001.

Here’s to actually sticking with something

When I was 16 (yes, I’m young, okay?), I had the idea for a Tech Blog. Not that it had never been done before or anything, but it’s just that ever since the age of 9, technology is the only hobby or thing in my life that I’ve consistently held interest in. I’m not sure … Continue reading Here’s to actually sticking with something →

I have an iPhone and Mac. Get an iPad?

Let me start off right away by saying that you do not “need” an iPad. Regardless of what you do or do not have, you do not NEED an iPad. If you want to hear me go off on a big spiel about instant gratification and entitlement, I could talk your ear off. But we’ll … Continue reading I have an iPhone and Mac. Get an iPad? →

T-Mobile, I’m Breaking Up With You

“It’s me, not you. Okay, no. Actually, it is you. We’ve had a good run together. We’ve tried it out for more than a year, but things just aren’t working out. That’s not to say that we haven’t had some good times together, but I’m just ready to move on.” Usually, it’s safer if I … Continue reading T-Mobile, I’m Breaking Up With You →

Visual Form Builder PayPal Redirect

For anyone who knows me even slightly well knows that I’m a huge fan of WordPress. I use it as my go-to CMS for all of the websites I create, whether for myself or for clients. It gives me the flexibility I need in a well designed format, and it gives my clients the ability … Continue reading Visual Form Builder PayPal Redirect →
