Recently a couple questions have come up regarding getting up early. Why do I get up so early and how do I get up so early so consistently? It was kind of funny when a client on the east coast said you always seem to be on east coast time meaning I'm for the most part available during east coast business hours. I'm not on east coast time, I'm on what I like to say is United States business hours time. I usually get up around 5AM PST and go to bed around 11PM PST. I've done this for quite a long time and it's worked out pretty well for me.
I'm the kind of guy that likes to stick to schedule. All my projects, meetings, deadlines are all in a calendar and it keeps me organized. It came to a point where if it wasn't on my calendar it probably was going to be forgotten and end up not being done. As time went on more and more things started filling my calendar and it got to a point where I wondered if I would get everything done. For the most part everything got done, but over the years it has gotten harder and harder to keep on track.
I'm not sure what I think about Yahoo rejecting Microsoft's bid. I know Yahoo has been struggling and needs help, but I'm not sure Microsoft is the best suitor for that. I've been reading about other potential suitors, but all of them don't really seem like a good fit. You have Google, but if that were to happen that would cause a huge monopoly has far as search is concerned. Most people I know use Google, then a smaller amount use Yahoo and an even smaller amount use MSN. If Google were to buy Yahoo I think everyone will end up using Google.
Well 2008 is here now and one of the things that I would have liked to do more in 2007 was keeping up to date with my blog posts. I'm currently running this site as well as lightenment and webdev2.0. I think I made an honest effort adding sites to webdev2.0, but still not as much as I would have liked to. Lightenment started out well in early 2007, but I felt that I didn't put as much time into it as it deserved. As far as this site, I usually post here and there, but should make an effort to post more.
I was hired by Versatyle Design to create an XHTML/CSS valid PHP template as well as a CMS admin system which would be easy for the Church administrators to update the website.
I worked on the Ooma project with the SolutionSet team. The site has a combination of Flash, XHTML/CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
I was hired by Fogworks to create XHTML/CSS templates for the new Bubba Gump website. I worked closely with Dana Kirk and Gaird Schlesinger of Fogworks to provide them with usable templates for the Bubba Gump project.
I created this site from the ground up. It runs on PHP/MySQL on the backend and uses XHTML/CSS and JavaScript on the front end. The JavaScript is written over prototype and scriptaculous and uses the lightbox 2.0 script as well.
