Make sure to save them as a preset so you don't have to do this everytime.

That rad bike is a brand new 2010 Giant Reign X2, it is Giant's all mountain bike featureing a staggering 7 inches of suspension travel. Feels like a cloud even when riding the roughest of terrain.

Bright, Fun, and Simple - The new 3f2.org

Administrator — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:49:23 +0100

Bright, fun, and simple. That was the name of the game when Matt Robinson, of 3f2, and I were thinking when we sat down to design this. This year's colors are a bright combination of CMYK, a shout0-out to printers all around. Everything is easy to get to and opens up the same window. This great design proves that you don't have to have a lot of content to make a striking website.&nbsRead More...

Administrator — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:57:06 +0100

I am excited to see that finally Apple will be opening a retail store in Spokane, WA, more specifically River Park Square.

This will be much more convenient for someone like me who needs to have the hardware Read More...

Will there be an app for that?

Administrator — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:57:19 +0100

You may have noticed that Samsung has been advertising some new touch technology. This technology, from the commercial shown below, seems to allow the user to simply drag their figure across the keyboard stopping on each character briefly allowing them to type at an incredible speed.

Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE my iPhone but, I really hope there will be app for this. This would make any typing on the phone even easier than before. I think this is really coolRead More...

New website essentials

The first question I always get when helping my clients establish a new website is "what else do I need?" I am going to hopefully take care of a lot of those noob questions and help you make your first step into the world wide web.

The first thing you need is a domain name. Now, this may seem like it's the easy part but, this is a critical part of the process, often times there needs to be a lot of thought process in coming up with the perfect domain. It may notRead More...

FLIR - Facelift Image Replacement

Administrator — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:00:00 +0100

Recently I was looking at a webpage and noticed that it would load text, and before the page was loaded, as the final pieces of javascript were being loaded I noticed all the titles seemed to change to a font. I thought wow! They are taking plain text and having it replaced, with what I assumed javascript, with images making the titles into a font.

You may ask, what does this mean? So what I see that all the time? No, you probably haven't, see usually the deRead More...
