Well, the title pretty much says it all. With all this talk of Yahoo going down in flames and Microsoft wanting to buy it and Google wanting to share their ads, something needs to be done with this site. And Steve Jobs is the man to do it. Imagine what Apple could do with an established site like that and a big jump forward in the search engine game by grabbing all their technology, users and algorithm (which needs work).
Is there such thing as a truly unique idea?
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:
Using a variable for your MySQL database
So, I’m working on a site making a bunch of changes. I need to change the name of a database and well, to make a long story short, it’s called by name throughout all the files. So I thought I’d do a quick post on how to use a variable name in place of the MySQL database name. I had to figure it out myself, and had a hard time finding anywhere how to do it, although it’s not that difficult.
Gina’s Site
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.
Idea site up and running
So, my great idea to have a site where people can post their ideas is now live. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, I’ve had a lot of (I feel) good ideas over the years and never did anything with them. I know other people who have the same, and I figured it’d be really cool to just throw them out there and share them and see what happens. Ideally, I’d like it to be a place where new inventions and improvements for current things where it can be a great collaborative effort to make things better. I hope to get my friends started using the site and over time have it pick up steam and get some really cool things invented or fixed. So, if you’ve got an idea you’d like to share, head on over to www.maginos.com and put it out there for the world to see. I’ve still got some work to do to make it a bit more user friendly, but I’ll keep working on it.

So WordPress has an iPhone app that let’s you manage your blog from your phone. Pretty damn cool, huh? So I’m writing this post from my phone chillin out far away from home 
Can’t wait to see what else I can do.
