Drizly shares your address via Twitter
TL;DR – Don’t use Drizly’s share your order link, unless you want everybody knowing where you’re getting your sauce delivered to. First off, I want to say that I am very happy to be part of the Drizly beta launch in Tampa, FL and a little bit proud of Tampa…

First impressions of the new Apple TV
I’ve been a fan of the Apple TV for quite a while now. I was a bit late to the game as I only picked up a third generation unit in 2013. The unit that I am replacing today has consistently beat out the “smart” functionality of my Samsung television….

Consolidating PHPAve.com
Just wanted to give everybody the head’s up that I am consolidating PHPAve.com into this blog. I still plan to blog about PHP from time to time but I no longer see the need in maintaining it as a separate site. For those that are interested in the migration details,…

My three favorite free mobile education apps
From time to time I get roped into investing way too much time into mindless video games. I’ve played all the “stories”, I’ve matched all of the candies and most of the Disney characters and as of late I have been working on a repetitive stress injury by way of…

Determining if you are passionate about something
If you’re like me, you get excited about your ideas. You go from “TO THE MOON!” to “meh, that was so yesterday” in less time than it takes Napalm Death to play a song. That doesn’t mean we have bad ideas; actually, it probably does. It also may mean what…

Knowing when to quit
A few months back I wrote a post about staying motivated by continuing streaks and how having streaks can keep you motivated even when you are struggling. Just the thought of breaking a streak, especially one that’s a few years old is terrifying. Right now, I am terrified. After two…
