I'm a PHP developer. It's what I do for a living. I enjoy being a PHP developer because I generally enjoy coding in PHP. I've written a few posts here in defense of PHP. As such, I'd have to be living under a rock to not have noticed that many other people don't seem to [...]

Web browsers have come a long way over the last few years. Most of us depend on them everyday, and I'd bet that some people reading this make their living, as I do, by designing programs that function within web browsers. I could talk up all the great and wonderful features that they have to [...]

Okay, one more really brief post before the real updates. I recently and randomly remembered a small tidbit from all of our childhoods, something I can really only think to describe of as the "alphabet code."

I'm a PHP developer, a PHP defender, and generally a PHP fanboy, but I'm actually writing this post to comment on how I'm a little disillusioned with the people calling the shots on language decisions, and why. Don't get me wrong, I still love the language (as can be noted by how I've written before [...]

I'm getting sick of coming across so many PHP sucks articles being parroted all over the internets, so I wanted to dispel some of the myths and rumors about it here. PHP does not suck. Not more or less than any other language, anyway. The most common argument for why PHP "sucks" is that it's [...]

I just realized recently that there is a lot of stuff I need to do. I'm not going to go into the complete full details here, because I never disclose the whole story on the interwebs before finishing an idea. And as most of you know, I'm generally pretty good at finishing whatever it is [...]

I've been working on a new web project on and off this summer, and I'm making this post now to officially meet some legal requirements. As many of you know, I am not really much of an artist (i.e. visual artist), so rather than painfully trying to invent some of my own graphics and icons, [...]

I just finished what I think is a nice little JavaScript program (by "little" I mean "actually massive but you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it"). I had started it last Spring as a un-endorsed project for Geek Squad (where I work), really out of sheer desperation when I realized there [...]
