Getting into a warm car this morning was a great feeling and it made me wonder why on earth did it take me this long to have a remote car starter installed. It took way too long, but I finally got it done this past Friday. This on its own is no feat of great accomplishment, but once you hear …
Twitter from an iPhone
Ever since I got an iPhone as a birthday present (thank you Courtney!) in July of this year I have been using Twitterrific as the Twitter app of choice. At that time, it was one of the first apps to market and it worked fairly well. Plus, it’s FREE! 🙂 However, over the past several weeks the application started crashing, …
WordPress plugins
As I look through the sea of WordPress plugins to test and potentially add to this blog in order make my life easier, generate more useful data and make it more interesting for visitors I’ve realized that this could turn into a fairly complicated process. Considering that the number of plugins keeps growing almost daily there are several things one …
Managers matter even more?
While I was thinking what I should write today I got a phone call from my boss, which set the theme for today’s post. Coincidentally, it is closely related to my previous post (video), people matter. We ran into several issues while getting some well deserved and a bit over due paperwork through certain channels, but it is nice to …
Aetna web maintenance

We have all experienced poor customer service, long waits and rude representatives, but at times certain behavior exceeds all stupidity. This is one of those times.

I’m not a big fan of doing this frequently as new files, invoices, requests, propositions and notes will come across my desk again and again, so I figure what’s the point. However, I’m aware that …
Twitter background
I changed my Twitter background and in order for me to “peek” to the left of the Twitter time line resolution suffered. It’s not my best photo editing work, but it’s good enough for my first attempt. 😉 Here’s the full resolution JPG file in case you want to tweak it for your own background.
iPhoneize your website
Several people I “follow” on Twitter have recommended Intersquash as a website that can make your site iPhone friendly. The process is simple and at the end of it your site (when viewed on an iPhone) will look something like this: As you can see, your site will get the “famous” iPhone gray look. You can even add an iPhone …
Your service or product
Over the past month or so I have been asked to review some 4 or 5 services/websites/products and have to say that I have enjoyed doing it. All of these have been in either their beta or pre-release stages. A couple of them are very cool ideas and hopefully they will be able to position themselves properly and gain decent …
