Old Spice steps up the game

When was the last time you’ve seen a commercial? Probably about a week if you watch tv. Most times you either jump to a different channel or if you TIVO, you just skip them. Of course, there isn’t anything WRONG with that, at least from our point of view. Our TV Shows (however strange and [...]

Blagging about the iPad

At the request of a friend I decided to put up my pre-hands-on review of the iPad. I thought about getting it, but then I figured a magnifying glass and an iPod would be cheaper. But then I realized, I’m not a fan of iPods, so I did the next best thing. Look for reasons [...]

Aggro Detection with Javascript

So you want to make some games? Sure it sounds easy, but until you dive into it you’ll never notice all the little things that go into the backend of it that make or break your game. While this isn’t as big a deal in current browser-based games (they’re either muds, flash or static maps) [...]

ChromeOS – Revolution or Bust!

Everyone seems to be going a little over board with the newly announced Chrome OS. Don’t get me wrong, I love all new shiny things – I’m a shiny-new-thing-lover, but people are not only blowing this out of proportion, they’re not even talking about the right things. Let’s break it down shall we?
What IS Chrome [...]

Feature Friday – Google Wave Preview – Rarst.net

I’ve been really apprehensive about posting my own review of Google Wave simply because I don’t see how the general public will be affected by it yet. Long term, I’m hoping Google Wave will become the method of choice for collaboration, but short term, it’s still too early to tell. Some people are gushing over [...]

Adding New Ram? Check the Numbers

However, picking the right ram is [...]

32bit vs 64bit

Inspired by a friend who isn’t as big of a computer geek as I am, I decided to do a post explaining the differences between 32bit and 64bit when it comes to operating systems.
The 32 and 64 bit numbers actually refer to the maximum accessible address space that the OS and CPU can handle. In [...]

Feature Friday – David Walsh – When Webmasters Attack

David Walsh Blog is something that I’ve been following for some time now. While he predominantly focuses on Mootools related functionality (I’m jQuery) he does have some good posts about design and development on all aspects of the web. Definitely a website worth adding to your Feed list.
This particular post is something that I feel [...]

Website Profiling with Fiddler

Recently I came upon the task of measuring performance in a corporate website. Generally when profiling I just pop open Google Chrome and run the Web Developer Tools that come pre-installed. It has a built in profiler that works and as a bonus looks really pretty. However, since this is a corporate setting, IE6 is [...]

My Apologies

My apologies in the delay in posting, I have been working rather hard on something and it is consuming a lot of time. I know todays post was almost 24h’s late, but I’m hoping tomorrow I will be able to get a few different ideas I’ve had written up.
Thanks for reading FHB!
