This week, I started the next chapter of my great adventure — joining the team at Human Made. Over the last roughly two and a half years, I’ve worked at WebDevStudios — one of the top WordPress-focused development agencies. When I joined, I was plopped in the middle of a project for the United States National… Continue reading I’ve joined Human Made!

Uncovering Digital Artifacts
This morning, my wife and I were having a conversation about what happens to our cultural information and identity when we are gone. Not just, what happens to, for example, this blog after I, personally, am deceased, but also, what happens to all of our information 50, 100, 200 years from now when the means… Continue reading Uncovering Digital Artifacts

I wrote a thing, and then I wrote about the thing I wrote.
How to create an iPhone ringtone in 2 minutes
I used to have a dumb phone. It was one of those LG deals with a slide-out keyboard that made it okay for texting.

Code: Getting rid of the duplicate submenu with add_menu_page and add_submenu_page
So I ran across an issue today when creating a custom admin menu and submenu items. I wanted to have a submenu item in the menu that linked to the main admin menu page, but did not have the same anchor as the parent. I kept running into this: You can see that, since I’m currently… Continue reading Code: Getting rid of the duplicate submenu with add_menu_page and add_submenu_page
Bitcoin mining: a huge waste of time?
I admit. I got sucked in. I read the glowing article in last month’s Wired about bitcoin. Thus far, I’ve been pretty oblivious. Future of currency, blah blah blah, whatever. The way it’s been built on open source software is interesting, though, the value is, of course, appealing, and that there are more PayPal-like services to… Continue reading Bitcoin mining: a huge waste of time?
