I decided right of the bat to use Jquery with a star rating plugin. It is used all over the place and looks very slick. So I started around 7 or 8 last night, ... http://amazinzay.com/2009/06/reinventing-the-wheel/ I'll admit, with the release of IE7 with the tabbed browsing and the png support, I was beginning to think that maybe Internet Explorer wasn't as bad as I thought, and that maybe I should give it another shot. I have since revised my position and returned to a state ... http://amazinzay.com/2009/03/web-browser-madness/ I think i almost got scammed today. I have been looking at getting a Jawbone II bluetooth headset which retails for about $120. I was looking online and found one at mrbdepot.com for $69.99. A good deal by all means. A quick google search found this commentsearch.com article which had ... http://amazinzay.com/2009/02/scammed/ So, I've been rather busy at work lately. I'm working sixty hour weeks now. I haven't posted much, so I am sure my reader count has dropped considerably. With working so much my life hasn't really been very interesting, nothing to really blog about... Except there was the cruise.... And ... http://amazinzay.com/2009/01/work-2/ I was reading Digg.com today on my lunch break and came across an article about the new firefox trunk release codenamed Minefield. It is supposed to be way faster than any other browser. I downloaded it and tested it out. It is still a trunk release (pre-alpha) but it is ... http://amazinzay.com/2008/10/firefox-trunk-release/ So for anyone who played Portal, this is an interesting development. Three french programmers who liked the game but thought it was too short decided to make an addon to the game. Hence Portal Prelude was born. I have been really impressed with it and would highly recommend anyone who ... http://amazinzay.com/2008/09/portal-prelude/ Google released a browser yesterday called Google Chrome . It is supposed to be one of the most standards compliant browser yet. Which on the surface seems really cool, having website standards helps web designers ensure that their site looks correct in every browser. Unfortunately having a single "standards compliant" ... http://amazinzay.com/2008/09/standards-compliant-frustration/ It's been a while since my last update... and I dont really have an excuse since lots has happened. We went to new hampshire on vacation three weeks ago, which was a blast. Lots of fun on the beach. I skinned my knee up pretty badly thought, and it still ... http://amazinzay.com/2008/09/update-4/ So I graduated Friday night. The ceremony was pretty gay. The speaker was pretty horrible, we only had one run through so the students didn't know what they were doing. But I got my diploma so it's all good. :-) http://amazinzay.com/2008/07/graduated/ I am actually writing this because Kenny reminded me about it on his site with his position paper on tattoos. I've been telling people for a while now about a new type of tattoo ink that is coming out that makes tattoos totally permanent but also totally and safely removable. I ... http://amazinzay.com/2008/06/tattoos/
