In my quest to make my Android perform better I decided to try uninstalling both the official Facebook and Twitter apps from my phone. My Droid Incredible only has 412 MBs of memory with about 80 free MBs. I really don’t understand where it’s all going. Most of it goes to the system, I think, […]
The Overnight Website Challenge was a week ago and I still feel like I’m catching up on sleep. It was a long day, but short at the same time. A ton of work was completed and we built a sweet site for a great non-profit. It all kicked off at 9am as that’s when we […]

As you switch between pages in your app, it continues to grow as needed.i The downside is that it […]
If you talk to someone who does SEO they often wonder why web developers create sites so un-search friendly. If you talk to web developers they wonder why SEO’s have to be so picky about everything. Being in both industries I can tell you that web developers don’t think about SEO and SEO’s don’t understand […]
