There is more to the web than Drupal

Now, obviously, I’m going to Do it With Drupal, because I work for Lullabot. I also think that it will be a great event for people to learn about many, many aspects of Drupal all in one place and I look forward to hanging out with folks and sharing the Drupal love. But, I haveContinueContinue reading “There is more to the web than Drupal”

Some site stats

Just because I find this kind of thing interesting to me, I’m posting up some stats from my site. I wanted a place to just sort of capture a snapshot and putting it on the blog seems to make sense. This is not a heavy traffic site; the average total hits on the site areContinueContinue reading “Some site stats”

What Drupal documentation means to me

Last Friday Dries announced that Steven Peck (sepeck) had decided to step back from his leadership role on the documentation team. Steven and Dries asked me to step into those big shoes and I accepted. All I can say is that I am glad that Steven isn’t going away. 🙂 I’m honored that two peopleContinueContinue reading “What Drupal documentation means to me”

Drupal docs on the move

I’ve been involved with the Drupal Documentation team, at varying levels of time and interest, for a while now. It was my first foray to getting involved with the community and I think it is a common entry point for many “non-coders” and people that may code but are hesitant to jump into the frayContinueContinue reading “Drupal docs on the move”

The quest for fiction

Now that the Drupal book I am helping co-author is off to the editors, I’m finding a desire to read again in my newly (and temporarily) free evenings. I’m definitely in an escapist mood, so I’ve turned to good ole scifi and fantasy fiction. The only problem is that I am a finicky reader. EveryoneContinueContinue reading “The quest for fiction”

DrupalCon Szeged is gonna rock

Like many other Drupalers ’round the world, I’m getting ready to fly to Szeged, Hungary for DrupalCon. The conference starts up Wednesday and myself and my fellow Lullabots, Angie and Nate, will be heading out tomorrow. I’ve been “training” myself to get up really early over here in the hopes that jetlag won’t completely destroyContinueContinue reading “DrupalCon Szeged is gonna rock”

Best Hole in the Wall Bar

This is the kind of place you would walk right by. There is a crooked sign on the side of a building for the Quarry House Tavern and then some narrow stairs descending into the ground behind it are the only other outward sign. You walk down into a basement with a bar and bunchContinueContinue reading “Best Hole in the Wall Bar”

On the way to Szeged

Registration for Drupalcon Szeged finally opened up last week and I’m all set to go. Got the flight booked as well as my logistics for Hungary. For anyone that hasn’t looked at the registration yet, it is really a rocking setup. First of all if you register before June 30th, you get a very niceContinueContinue reading “On the way to Szeged”

Screenflow: Video capture and editing for Macs

I make a fair number of video tutorials. A few people told me about a new application for Macs called Screenflow ($100) by Vara Software and there seems to be quite a bit of buzz around it. I love playing with new toys so I immediately downloaded it. One thing to keep in mind duringContinueContinue reading “Screenflow: Video capture and editing for Macs”

Wild, beautiful, maverick weeds

Weeds are simply plants that suit their environment too well and succeed in ways we actually don’t wish. Basically gardeners like plants that give them the most bang for their buck – but with a controlled bang. Weeds, and I’ve had many a battle, just don’t fit the human idea of order and control. TheyContinueContinue reading “Wild, beautiful, maverick weeds”
