Habits

Breaking out of the comfort zone

When getting my oil changed a few days ago, my mechanic noticed a bump on my tire. Being that I just bought these tires a few months ago, I assumed that getting it replaced would be quick and easy. So when I walked into my local tire store on a slow morning, I knew I would be in and out in no time. Three hours later…Read more

Let's talk about...colon cleanser?

In case this is the first blog of mine you are reading, I am “green”, meaning I’m new to the detailed world of website development. Often, I am asked at Web Easy Media for my input on ideas for website designs since I look at them through non-technical eyes. One of the first one’s I was asked to look at is by far the most memorable; sexy colon cleanser.Read more

Close the Curtains; the world is watching

The price of social media

At the old age of 26, I can remember the time where stalking someone posed many challenges. You had to have reliable transportation, a camera, good binoculars and lots of free time. In the digital world of today, people willingly post more info and pictures online than any good stalker could have gotten in a year of diligent work. Where’s the adrenaline rush/ restraining order potential in that?Read more

Are you in good hands?

Last night, I went to the Zack Brown Band concert.  The Zack Brown Band plays country music, so as expected, there were plaid shirts and cowboy hats as far as the eye could see. After a good concert, the band came out for an encore and, just as expected, it included a freestyle rap.Read more

As the internet connects the world, finding a love connection online via a chatroom or dating site is no longer a social taboo, but instead a frequent and growing trend.

Finding my identity

A few nights ago, I was home alone and bored. So I did what any young, single male with an internet connection would do; I look myself up on Google. I have been around the block a few times so surely I have to be out there somewhere in the giant oasis of internet info.Read more

Intern Perspective

Its hard being green

 A few months ago, I became an intern at Web Easy Media. With graduation approaching, I felt this would be a good opportunity to update my technical skills. IUPUI is a great school, but when textbooks that cost a mortgage payment refer to dot-com era as "up and coming", it’s a little discouraging.Read more

10 Drupal Theme Functions

Themers don't need to know PHP, but a little knowledge can go a long way!

Everyone has their own interpretation about what the role of a themer is - what the knowledge level should be in different internet languages like CSS, HTML, PHP, JQuery/Javascript.
