I know there is a lot of people who think VaultPress is expensive. In fact I completely agree! However in my honest opinion VaultPress is the poor man’s version of WordPress VIP Support, whose prices start at $5,000. Even if I were to upgrade to VaultPress Premium across all 4 of my blogs (which would be $60/month per blog) it would still be cheaper than...

Yet another great post by Jerry: Let’s face it no one really likes pain. In fact, most of us go out of our way to avoid pain. However, if we are going to accomplish our goals and ”complete the race marked out for us,” we must endure some pain along the way. If we seek to “Fix our eyes on Jesus,” as suggested in Hebrews 12:1-3, then we must look at adversity...

Yeah, if you recognize that title, then you must have grown up with Dr. Seuss! (I was a fan ever since I could pronounce sentences together) Out of all of the books that he wrote, my favorite thus far has been “Oh The Places You’ll Go!,” mainly due to its emphasis on exploring the unknown world around you (despite the bumps).

By now everyone has probably heard about the Verizon iPhone allegedly coming in January (if you haven’t then you’re not a real geek). Many of my friends are planning on ditching Ma Bell for the red V after suffering many years of horrible signal (at least the urban warriors). Not even the ETF (aka Early Termination Fee) is enough to scare them away...

Note: See update below! (original stat tracked down) I first came across this “fact” from TechCrunch, and after Googling around the interwebs (apologies to @MattCutts) I finally discovered what appears to be the source of this oft cited statistic. Some other numbers mentioned by Matt are 150 code committers with 1400 on Trac helping out. 21m downloads of...

The White House finally has some good news to report regarding the oil spill, and despite their previous “do nothing” approach (which was infuriating to say the least) it looks like the gulf of Mexico may return back to normal within my lifetime. Today, a panel of government scientists released a report which said that the vast majority of the oil from...
