Halloween Firefox Theme Gets Another Upgrade

I’ve been tweaking HalloFF over the past few weeks to add a bit more Halloween to the theme. Here is what is new in the most recent version. New scrollbars featuring bones.  Jack Skellington is the Bone Daddy after all. New right click menus featuring orange options with green highlights. New tabs that should resemble […]

iPox Aqua Shines in Firefox 3

I realized over the past weekend that iPox Aqua was 90% the same as iPox.  And since iPox has been updated for Firefox 3, iPox Aqua shouldn’t take to much time.  So I’ve updated it. iPox Aqua has the same style and feel as iPox, with a bit more colorful buttons and brighter blues. Now […]

How does Google crawl the iTunes Store?

35W Bridge Collapse – 1 Year Later

It’s been one year since the 35W bridge gave way and it’s still unbelievable. WCCO has a great retrospective on the survivors, the responders and others at the scene of the bridge collapse. Especially moving to us is the Coulter family and Paula, whom my wife use to work with.  The doctors didn’t think she’d live, let alone walk and […]

My First Plurk Theme

A few days ago Plurk came out with the ability to customize your profile with your own CSS code.  I put my skills to work and created my first Plurk theme! It’s a bit darker, to match my website, and comes with rounded boxes, a unified timeline and colors that pop. You can get a […]

Plurk in a Twitter World & Why I Prefer Plurk

I’m a big fan of Plurk, a micro blogging platform, that is often compared to Twitter.  It has basically taken me away from Twitter by fixing some of my big Twitter concerns.  The more I use Plurk, the more I realize how many limitations and issues Twitter currently has. Here are a few reasons why […]
