Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • quiet

    I know I haven’t posted much here.  Part of that has to do with spending every available moment working on Museum Themes.  But, in addition to that, I’ve been guest blogging on 10timesOne and WordCamp Utah 2010 as well as trying to keep an active blog going over at Arcane Palette with posts about art…

  • 12 Free WordPress Themes I Like (and you should, too)

    Just because we built free WordPress themes and Museum Themes doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the good work of others.  In fact, it’s through watching what’s going on in the greater WordPress theme community that gives us ideas, keeps us on our toes, and informs us of trends and what people are interested in.  Here… (read…

  • Baby SweetTooth

    Baby SweetTooth is a magazine-style theme styled for your baby girl.  It takes inspiration from premium WordPress themes, scrapbooking, and baby girl’s clothing and decor.  It’s built to share all of your thoughts and memories, pictures and videos in an easy-to-access page.  If you use FeedBurner, you can add your FeedBurner ID in the theme… (read…

  • Gee, there’s a thought…

    One of the things that’s frustrated me about a lot of premium WordPress themes I’ve had experience with is that they leave the user hanging.  You see the demo and it looks awesome.  Configurable category displays, a featured content gallery, room for adsense, customizable navigation, even a video embed in the sidebar.  Maybe you even… (read…

  • Genius Bar

    We’re starting to plan and organize the tracks and events for this year’s Utah WordCamp.  One of the items that’s definitely on the agenda is a “genius bar” — a place where you can go and have any question you might have about WordPress whatsoever answered by real live WordPress experts.  It should be a…

  • iTunes Security: Worse than you thought?

    On December 1, 2008, I woke up to find a series of disturbing emails in my inbox.  They were a pair of PayPal receipts and the corresponding iTunes store receipts for 2 purchases of $200 gift cards sent to anonymous Hotmail and Yahoo email addresses.  The problem was, I didn’t make the purchases. The transactions… (read…

  • Using the WordPress embed shortcode for YouTube, Vimeo, more

    This was going to be a post on building a WordPress shortcode that you’d use like [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=url[/youtube] inside your posts to take care of the embedding.  My experience has been that when you flip over to HTML view to paste your code and then flip back to the Visual editor to finish your post, a… (read…

  • What’s coming from Museum Themes

    First of all, I’d like to thank everyone reading this blog for a successful first week.  We’ll be posting more promo codes on Twitter and Facebook, and we can’t wait to see our affiliate badges start popping up around the ‘Net.  Keep an eye out in those places and maybe bookmark #MuseumThemes to keep up-to-date… (read…

  • Avoid holding your iPhone 4G

    There’s a phenomena with the new iPhone that, since I don’t own one and have a waning interest in ever owning one, I was unaware of before reading a blog post in the New York Times.  It seems that, for many users, if you hold the iPhone in a certain way, the very act of holding…
