I wanted to sit down for a few minutes and reflect on how I can be more productive and focus in on what will take my projects to the next level.
Remove distractions
When it’s time to work it’s time to work and distractions are a procrastinator’s best friend. Close your messaging platforms like AIM and MSN [...]

Feeling sorry for yourself accomplishes nothing. Unfortunately, I often feel that way when building websites and thinking of great ideas because I can’t implement them. What a crock of shit…
I’ve wasted so much time poking around the internet looking for free and paid tools that do what I want. Spent countless hours asking other people [...]

As you know from my last post, using padding, borders and margins to make my sidebar block elements appear properly caused a laundry list of problems because of the discrepancies between browsers. Do you want to format the basic look feel of the entire block element and the spacing between them? I’ve got an easy [...]

Thou has cast a shadow of doubt on my blog redesign effort… damn thee!
Alright sorry, that was pretty lame. But in all honesty… are you kidding me? I got most of rough elements of my redesign looking good. Asked several people how it looked in their browser. Result = good.
Then I checked it on a [...]

No, I’m not talking about the ESPN show with Tony Kornhieser and Michael Wilbon. This blog might look messed up a little bit over the next day because I’m going to test out a different theme and toy/play with it live. So if things look awry… now you know why!

Chef Club

I like this one a lot – it’s a fork and a knife.
Political Fury

Took the earth from the logo and just resized it.
Turntable Talk

I don’t love this one… it’s supposed to be a vinyl record but [...]

Doing a lot of small things can make a big difference. And, one of those small things is a 16 by 16 box of pixels called a Favicon. You’ll notice the brand new Eureka Diary Favicon in the address bar and on your browsing tab. It looks like this:

What is the purpose in a [...]

Alexa and Google PR sitting in a tree.
Ask me if I give an S-H-I-T.
No… I don’t. Alexa is just as useless as Google PageRank. The numbers don’t mean much of anything considering:

The average person doesn’t have the Alexa Toolbar installed which measures page popularity by pages loaded when using the toolbar.
For this reason, it’s used [...]

The Google PageRank update is well overdue and that means the broken english bunch at Digital Point are clamoring about what in the heck could possibly be going on. Is there an update coming? Are they doing away with PageRank? I don’t know and I don’t REALLY care although it’s fun to give yourself a [...]
