One of my greatest joys of this past week was finding out that I will be able to use a FileMaker PHP API to put together a pretty slick content management system. I’d like to gather some resources and experiences in this post and hopefully show the way a little easier for someone who may […]
I swear Wordpress hates me. It looks so nice and seems so easy. I think I’m probably doing something wrong, but every time I try to format my posts or correct little issues like paragraph breaks, this ignorant little wysiwyg editor just mashes up my code and spits it out in ways that look like […]

I’ve been thinking lately about how much freedom […]
When my dad died, I got his computer, and it struck me from browsing through his past emails that the majority of his subject lines were one word or short titles followed by “…”
I do that a lot too…
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the design on here matters less and less if the content isn’t worth someone coming to the site. That’s always the problem I’ve had with creating my own blog.
