Just Found the “Press This” Tool

By imaginos | Published June 9, 2009

Awesome little tool included in WordPress these days.  You put it in your bookmarks bar and when you see something you want to blog about, you just highlight it and hit the button.  It opens a little window so you can write your post and save or publish it right there!  It’s damn cool.  And, hopefully now I’ll remember to actually post all the cool shit I find.

Which laptop should I buy?

By imaginos | Published March 3, 2009

I recently had one of my co-workers ask me about what laptop she should get.

Here’s my reply:

Ok, here’s the 3 most important things:

1.  If you get a laptop with Windows Vista, make sure you have at least 2GB of RAM.  Vista uses about 1GB by itself and it’ll suck when you try to run any other programs.

2.  Don’t get a cheap processor.  Intel Celeron and AMD Sempron are the common cheap ones and should be avoided.

3.  Don’t get a Compaq.  They suck.  They’re cheap, and I have never had a good experience with them.

Thank You Mr. President

By imaginos | Published January 20, 2009

“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.”

-Barack Obama

Today, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.  In his inaugural speech Barack reiterated this point which I think is the crux of his run for presidency.  “We have chosen hope over fear”.  Barack ran under the banner of hope and change.  He didn’t succumb to the fear mongering that so often accompanies an election, or the news, or a salesman, or a commercial, or religion.  He relied on the fact that we need hope, not fear.  That people don’t want to be scared into electing a president.  Or scared into starting a war.  Or scared into buying a new car.  Or even scared into being a good person.  People want hope.  We want to hope that there is something better for us and for our children.  That while things may be difficult, we believe that there are bright skies ahead.

Is there such thing as a truly unique idea?

By imaginos | Published December 9, 2008

Have you ever seen your exact idea showing up some place else? I recently saw this commercial, I forget who it was for, but the guy was sitting there wondering about trans fat and whether or not it really exists, or if it was just some marketing thing companies made up to say they have none of it. I not only had this exact idea years ago (the trans fat, not the death crystals) but would often joke about it amongst my friends.

Here’s the commercial:

Gina’s Site

By imaginos | Published October 23, 2008

So, I’ve set up a website for Gina so she can get some more clients through online advertising and SEO.  It’s at www.hairdesignbygina.com.  It’s pretty cool because it gives me a chance to play with a lot of the stuff I’ve learned programmatically over the years.  I’ve built the site on a php template that I’ve designed (there’s not much to it, but I’m still pretty happy with myself).  I also get to put to use what I’ve learned about CSS and do some really cool design stuff with it.  It’s still in it’s infancy, but I’m pretty happy with what I’ve done so far.
