Something cool

I am always being asked about ways to do certain things. The most common are how to do things on the web. Well, last night a student asked me about how to make an “Accordion” Menu. She had seen a menu on a website and wanted to do the same thing on hers. Well, I Googled “jQuery Menu” and came across this blog site.

Seems there is a lot of cool menus and source code on this site. Also, you can check out other blog entries for how to do many different things with web technologies. I am going to make sure this site makes it to my bookmarks!

As a professional software developer for over 15 years now, I have had a  love-hate relationship with Microsoft. On one hand, I've always loved the Windows OS platform.  Windows has always been the most consistent and best overall user experience of the OSes I've used - even if at times I had to work around nasty bugs and wait on well overdue service packs(the hating part)! I've used a lot of different OSes in my lifetime, going back to a Coleco Adam SmartOS, C64, AmigaOS, different Linux distributions, Mac OSX, DOS, OS/2 Warp and every flavor of Windows except ME -I never used ME, so I can't speak about that potential heartbreaking affair - but Vista 64-bit had a lot of issues too! When I used a MacBook with OSX for work- it came with some nice features, but I just can't get over the premium cost of hardware and lack of really great gaming experience I get on Windows.  Also, Xcode is not Visual Studio and unfortunately never will be.

Writing a Video Game

Well, I've always wanted to create a video game. The first time I ever wrote the famous Hello World, I was in the fourth grade. My parents had Santa deliver a Coleco Adam computer. Originally for my sister Nikki, but in few short weeks she tired of me wanting to be in her room to play on it - it was moved to my room. I don't think my parents realized just how much I would naturally take to computers. Yeah, we had an Atari 2600 that I had about worn out playing, but to their surprise I was printing and writing programs that printed things almost immediatly. I discovered magazines like Family Computing and Compute that would publish programs in pring and I'd tirelessly type them in and run them! I taught myself how to store data sequentially and create a program to catalog my 8 or 9 records. I create a program to print me a checklist for my baseball cards. I even wrote a little drawing program that I took to school and showed off to one of my teachers. Computers bec
