A friend of mine who was looking to set up shop on his own section of the internet, asked me for help getting started. Over the past couple of evenings, we were able to get his site up and running, so without further ado…

Texas Snow 2010

So, the weather outlook for the past day or so has stated that south Texas is supposed to get some snow.   Now, usually those who predict the weather in are area are wrong…until today.   I got a text message from my wife around noon stating that she saw snow in the area where we lived.   I told my colleagues about the news and well, they didn’t believe her until she sent pictures.   What’s really cool is that when I got home at the end of the day there was snow still on the roof of the house. Granted, it’s not much but it is still snow.

For those of you who follow the site, you’ve notice I’ve decided to change the title. Technology is a big part of what I do most of the time but I’ve also left out another aspect of what I am: a musician. If you sift though the archives, you’ll find at least one post (I think) about music. I’ve decided to write more about music especially since I’ll be beginning a new project in the near future. That’s not to say that I’ll be abandoning my ever so insightful opinions about technology, so never fear. Until then…

iPhone Website View

While browsing the WordPress plugins at wordpress.org, I came across a pretty cool plugin for those of you who visit the site with your iPhone or iPod Touch.   Basically, the plugin detects the HTTP user-agent and displays a version of the site that is designed for Safari on iPhone and iPod Touch.   In addition, I’ve add a custom home screen icon if you decided you like the site so much you want to add it to your home screen.   To add the site to your home screen, visit the site with your iPhone or iPod Touch and touch the “+” icon at the bottom of the window.   The OS will ask you what you want to name the icon and download the home screen icon.   Once you’ve named the shortcut; save it.   You will then have a shortcut on your home screen for this site.   Pretty slick, eh?

P.S.   The plugin also works on Blackberry and Android devices.

I’m sure you have already noticed, but I gave the site a new look. The theme is called Piano Black and can be found over at the WordPress site. I enjoy it because it seems very elegant and it goes well with some of the functionality of the plug-ins I have installed on the site. Hope you enjoy it.
