Firefox 11 just released today and, as a web designer, I’m giddy about their new 3D developer tool for, well, web developers, even if for anything just the sheer coolness of it. Below is a preview of this site in 3D mode. Developers have been accustomed to 2D tools such as Firebug and Firefox’s own built in tools for some time, but now with the

With as much internet access that we have today, all well-to-do, want-to-do-well, businesses have so much at their disposal.

A while back I shared an article entitled Round 1: Fatcow vs BlueHost (Initial Setup) where I discussed some initial differences between my experiences with Fatcow and Bluehost. Well today I disclose the rest of the story… With my fatcow hosting heading toward expiration in just a few months I decided in the first week of April that I wanted to finally tackle the transfer

Over the past few months, I’ve collected useful tidbits from around the web. Information, tweaks and apps great and small- all of which are equally important but cannot hold an entire post by themselves. So I have clumped them here in a little bit I like to call From Around the Web: Collection of Useful Tidbits 1. Resizing your Mac PartitionLeopard and Snow Leopard actually

Last month I successfully installed Windows 7 on a custom PC and hooked it up to my TV so that we can watch Netflix, hulu, and whatever else. I installed a VNC client on the PC and am using Snow Leopard’s built in VNC Viewer (Screen Sharing) which acts as the MediaBox’s remote control. It’s not as convenient as a standard TV remote, but I

One of Safari’s “hidden” features (on Mac) is the ability to essentially take any part of a webpage and create a widget in dashboard. Listening to Pandora at home tonight, I wanted a way to listen without a browser window being open, like you can with Open Pandora on Windows (see Get Past Pandora’s Listening Limit for more information). I was reading the reviews of

Google Chrome, the browser, has been out for some time. It offers a spin on browsing- a cleaner, more streamline, google way of browsing. Besides its incredible speed, the next best thing is that the address bar is also the search bar. Currently it’s only available for Windows, but if you’re Mac, you can find a preview version of it (still in beta). It’s kinda

Because I basically suck at coding a sweet background to use as website background, I naturally result to Photoshop to design the image…but I get stuck at this question: “Ok, so how exactly am I going to put this image in the background and make it so it doesn’t look cropped, leaving white space around the image?” If you’ve ever created or wanted to create

Pandora, you’re great, but I need you more than how long you offer yourself and…let’s face it, I’m not paying money for any kinda of internet service. Pandora sets a 40 hour listening cap on its free “subscription” and resets the number of listening hours at the top of every month, but I always hit that cap with like 2 or 3 days to go

I’m a big Mac fan and my wife knows it. She knows it so well that she purchased me a years subscription to MacLife magazine and MacWorld for my birthday last year and then renewed again this year for our anniversary. What a gal! She’s pretty much my favorite. FatCow In every issue I see Fatcow.com web hosting at an incredible price and offering virtually
