Everything and anything to do with technology in today’s world.
(Edit October 10, 2018) Note: This article is now out of date but is kept published for reference purposes. Nearly everything in Gutenberg is published as a package so for the purpose of testing you can include those packages as a devDependency in your package.json file and jest will know to reference those in tests.

Recently, one of my clients purchased a server with FireHost.com. We’d been on the search for a new web host for some time now to serve as the infrastructure supporting upcoming web applications we have in the works. We needed a company who is well recommended, and will help us scale and scale quickly. You pay […]
I got really intrigued with the wp-cli tool for command line WordPress (seriously awesome, check it out)… however I haven’t switched my osx machine to use the built in php and mysql so I kept getting this error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2) Easy fix: sudo ln […]
I always like hearing from people about new things happening in their lives and I’m excited to share something new happening in mine.

So I just thought I’d throw up this short screencast on how to create a desktop application using Google Chrome. […]
I had a scary thought this morning. For all of us techie, early adopter, and internet civvies – what would we do if somehow we were lifted out of our life in modern society and transplanted 100 years ago (circa 1908)? Doesn’t that make you shudder? Here’s what I’d be doing… [photo from public.resource.org]
A couple of days ago I released a new website that I designed for some friends of mine who are the new directors of the Village of Hope in Malawi, Africa. David and Connie Buzikievich are an awesome couple who are following through with their offer to God to take them wherever He wants and […]
