DIY iPhone Screen and LCD Replacement
This here’s the story of how I voided my warranty and fixed an iPhone 3G. A few weeks ago my wife dropped her barely a few months old iPhone 3G on the kitchen floor and broke not only the glass digitizer on the front but also the LCD screen. We took it to an Apple... Read More

When one sees men, weak by nature, leaping forward to death, and not fearing its corruption nor frightened of the descent into Hades, but with eager soul challenging it; and not flinching from torture, but on the contrary, for Christ’s sake electing to rush upon death in preference to life upon earth, or even if...

For reasons that I can neither understand nor explain, it seems that a good number of people are interested in what I have to say—I just recently crossed the 900 follower mark on Twitter. Numbers don’t mean that much to me. I’d be writing in much the same way whether I had 9 followers or... Read More

I’m blogging again. Actually, let me rephrase that: I’m writing again. Blogging is too specific a term. It sounds like something only tech savvy individuals do, people with computers dangling from every appendage, people who type faster than they can speak. It tends to conjure a vision of sweaty-palmed folk in basements wearing pajamas. Yes,... Read More

He’s going to be traveling to each of the 48 continental states—one a week—and will be volunteering in every state along the way. As he does, he’s going to be videoing, blogging and twittering the whole journey.</p> <!--more--><p>He’s... Read More

The vBulletin.com redesign was a particularly enjoyable project—it’s not that often you get to help shape the branding of a tool you frequently work with. The goal of this project was simple but crucial: breathe new life and energy into the vBulletin branding without alienating almost 10 years worth of loyal customers (can you believe... Read More

Introduction I started this post out as a fan of Tinychat. Being able to create a virtual room with a button press felt a lot like what Twitter did for miniblogging—streamline and simplify an obvious need. Sure, it has it’s annoyances. The Flash-based text chat is slow, unresponsive, jumpy and hard-to-read, making it nearly impossible... Read More

I’m a bleeding edge guy, but sometimes being a first adopter can get you in trouble. Such is the case with the recent Snow Leopard install. The $29 price tag was too good to resist: I pre-ordered it and installed it as soon as it arrived in the mail. Now, let me start by saying... Read More

UPDATE: The Browsercam slots are all filled. Thanks to everyone who joined me—I’ll contact you all shortly with your credentials. One of the problems with being a freelance web designer is that you can’t afford to have every system with every version of every browser sitting around your office. So one of the things I’ve...

So the other day, I was working hard, minding my own business when suddenly a Facebook chat message from an old college friend popped up on Adium. I hadn’t talked to this friend since college, so I was a bit surprised when I received his message. It started ordinary enough, a quick exchange of greetings.... Read More

Someone recently asked me what I’d consider my most important iPhone apps, so I decided to put this list together. Let me first say that I didn’t include Facebook and Google in here because I’m assuming everyone who needs them has them. Without further ado: Productivity 1. Tweetie (twitter client) Tweetie is everything you need... Read More

Since it’s launch yesterday, there has been a lot of good will and a little bit of confusion about what Melody is. Some people think it’s a community coup d’état with us as the pitchfork wielding mob storming the Six Apart offices. On the flipside, some people think Melody is just a PR move by... Read More

Good friends of ours organized a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The house we rented was beautiful and gigantic and normally very expensive, but splitting the off-season cost seven ways it only cost us a few hundred dollars each. We did so much during the week that I could ramble on and... Read More

Sharing Resources Across Multiple Sites Using Movable Type
Problem: We have several different sites that are powered by one Movable Type install. These sites have common elements that need to be shared across all of the blogs—something like services, staff or course descriptions. Unlike global template modules, these shared items have lots of meta (like categories, tags, etc) and really need the framework... Read More

10 Important Things We’ve Forgotten About Evangelism
Listen to the sermon: Part 1 Part 2 1. Evangelism is not about winning an argument, it’s about preaching the gospel. The word evangelism literally means to bring the good message. Paul made it clear in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 that preaching the gospel is not about intellectual superiority, it’s about Jesus Christ and Him crucified.... Read More
