It’s Official
May 27th I drove to Overland Park to take my Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 Certification Exam. Thanks to the wonderful training I received in 2003 from the folks at ThinqDigital I passed the exam with flying colors. Today in the mail I received my Certified Developer Kit which included a certificate, lapel pin and CD containing logos to be used on business cards, letterhead and Web sites. I’m also listed on Macromedia’s Web site in their directory of certified...

Read MoreLet The Eagles Soar
Not a reference to former Attorney General John Ashcroft but rather homage to one of the greatest rock bands ever. The Eagles are on TV right now and are amazing. Song after song after song is incredible. These guys look rather old and the beat is a little slower than I remember it on their Greatest Hits albums but none-the-less these guys are amazing.
