I have been very busy lately and haven’t had time to spill my brains out on this blog. Sorry for not getting anything posted here for some time.

Thing is, I am currently working on something BIG and that has taken all my time and resources. I am in the last stages of getting this finished up so be on the look out for articles to be written soon.

As  for the “something BIG”, you will have to stay tuned.

Over and out!

Well the iPad 3 (and most likely refreshed Apple TV) event is just around the corner (March 7th) and all of us Apple Fanboys are in excitement. How would you want to have a chance to win something that hasn’t even come out yet? Well, the great people at Cult of Mac (my one stop shop for everything Apple, BTW) are giving you that chance.

They just posted a Reader Survey that enters you into the iPad 3 giveaway. The survey is just 25 questions and doesn’t take but a few minutes. I mean, what’s a few minutes of your time if you could win a brand new, not even releashed yet, retina display, quad-core, and the list goes on, iPad 3?

So what are you waiting for? Head on over and take the survey!

Well the task of migrating my site to self-hosted instance of WordPress is now complete. I always love to move entire blogs from one place to another..NOT.

With the move to a self-hosted instance, I have much more opportunities to do amazing things here. So be looking for some cooling “additions” coming in the future. One thing that I did first off is to add a list “social sharing” buttons that float on the left hand side of the screen. This only appears on the home page and posts pages. Now that there are sharing buttons that are easier to find and click, feel free to share some love!

Now there are some things that are not working correctly and I am in the middle of ironing those out so please bear with me on those. But, be on the lookout for some great features.

Cheerio!

Ever since HTML5 and CSS3 has peaked its head into the web development scene, developers have been deep in the trenches. They have been testing the limits as to what exactly you can make the browser do by way of HTML5 and CSS3.

Through their “trial and error” comes HTML5 Please. This very useful site helps you look up HTML5, CSS3, etc features, tells you if a browser is ready to use them, and how to implement them.

You can filter them by browser, mobile support, category (css, html, api, js), status (use, use with caution, avoid), and requirements (polyfill, prefixes, fallbacks).

So if you are looking to get into using HTML5 or looking for a great new resource, HTML5 Please is your new best friend.

Check it out!

We can’t deny it. No matter what smart device we have, there are those moments that cause the device to seize up and just become none responsive. Usually at the most inconvenient time.

Now you will not have to worry when it happens again. Here are two simple steps you should take if an app decides to crap out.

1. Press and hold the awake button. You should now see the shutdown screen.
2. Once there, release the awake button and press and hold the home button. Keep pressing until you are at the home screen.

Presto! Your frozen app is now closed and you can proceed.
