I did a little research on social media and how it can be managed. I came across this tool today. Socialtalk allows people or organizations to create, review, approve and send out posts to multiple online social networks like YouTube, facebook, and Twitter.

Social talk also let’s you track the success of these efforts. This would be a great tool to see the immediate benefits of your social marketing strategy.

Remember, Looking for a “Social Media Expert” is more likely to get you some one who is an expert at using Social Media. While you might need these people…

Listen to The Steelwells – This Dance Is Out Of Your Hands @ The Sixy One

StillWell formed in early 2006, quickly entering the studio and putting out their first single, “Killing Myself to Live”, in October 2007. Since then, the band has been off-and-on recording their first album, although Fieldy’s involvement in Korn is thought to play a factor in the long recording process.

The band is in production of their first album, a CD/DVD package, titled Surrounded by Liars. The album is due out in 2010. There has been three confirmed tracks for their

Listen to Mason Proper – Lock and Key @ The Sixty One

Some of the earliest Mason Proper songs can be traced back to the 2003 release of the split Sunday Sampler EP, a collaboration between independent hip hop artist Jawnrah and singer/songwriter Jonathan Visger’s solo Mason Proper predecessor, Jonathan Apples. Shortly after the release of The Sunday Sampler, Jonathan joined up with Matt Thompson and Brian Konicek to form Mason Proper, with fellow Alpena natives Pat Stafford and Victor Kahn, founding member of the local act Honesty In The Auto Industry. They performed erratically in the

Well after riding SRAM XO for the better part of 3 years, through mud and grime. I have been very pleased with its performance. The only issues I experienced were during the subarctic temperatures of -40c when my shifting would not work. That being said my hydraulic brakes did not work so good either for that matter I didn’t work that well.

SRAM has a new line up coming out called XX, not only does it look HOT, it is also 10sp. one more gear for smooth riding action! They managed to beat Shimano to the punch as…

The people of Haiti need help. And after looking at some of the photos from the Boston Globe’s Big Picture I hope he remains safe.

The people have started looting and fighting amongst them selves turning a bad situation worse. Desperation makes people do bad things.

Please help by donating.

The book its self has some what of a mystery around it. I know its from the Niagara falls Public Library, first signed out June 6th 1972 and was last singed out February 23rd 1988. I have no idea how the book traveled halfway across the country…

Well Yesterday I some how stumbled across ProtoKit from Konigi.

Protokit is a toolkit for creating HTML prototypes. It uses the following open source libraries and plugins: Blueprint, jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Templates, and iXEdit. More information about the included libraries and their licensing agreements can be found in theREADME file.

I must say that looking at it (not having used it yet) is exactly what my plans entailed.…

This interesting thing that I learned while attempting to use Symfony (php 5 only) compared to Cake PHP (php 4+) was that the command line environment is not the same as the web environment.

When I tested the version of php on the front end I got 5.2.4 and figured I’m good to go.

While after running the Symfony command line tool to build my project I was getting a php error.

My knowledge of the command line is…

I used to use Axure RP a decent amount over the past years, but one thing that interrupted my work flow was having a Mac in one location and a PC in the other. Not to mention that I really enjoyed using OmniGraffle over Microsoft Visio.

The alpha was announced December 22nd 2009 and will be valid until February 28th 2010 when the beta is released.

Axure RP is the leading tool for rapidly creating wireframes, prototypes and specifications for applications and web sites.

I will keep this quick as it is a simple process.

You will need to let wordpress know that your theme supports thumbnails. For this we need to open functions.php and declare thumbnail support. For this we add the following line of code.

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

We will need to set the thumbnail dimensions now.

set_post_thumbnail_size( 80, 80);

It should be noted that this method of resizing will produce an…

Old news by now on the Woldfram Alpha computational knowledge engine, but a few other developments have occurred since this service has arrived.

They are now on the iPhone/Touch. The app is built on their new API, With support for Java, .NET, Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, and Mathematica.

Their should be some interesting resources made based on the great information available.

Maybe some day I will finally know how much wood could a wood chuck chuck or how many seashells sally sells by the sea shore.

Electro punk melodies meet spastic new wave rhythms, creating a cross between The Rapture and Late Of The Pier. Eat Sugar’s musical combination ushers in a new wave of dance punk, taking over from their ageing contemporaries who look to be moving towards other forms of electro noise and experimental disco.

Formed in Cincinnati in 2006, Adrian Bogosian (vocals), Jim Reynolds (bass/synth), Greg Poneris (Drums) and Mike McBride (synths) are attempting the relive the height of new-wave, when the synths took over; when bands like Devo and The Human League had the world at their feet. They’re

As of this month I have started a new job as Web Design/Developer at Vision Creative Inc. one of Edmonton’s leading design and marketing firms who is working on the new look and feel for the Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA).

I am working with a great team of excellent designers and am lucky to be in a collaborative environment where I can learn and become a better designer.

The only downside is getting used to my apple keyboard.

I think they also have one of the city’s coolest offices, Pictures will come in time!

Another year down, Aiden turned two November 16th. It is strange to think that one year ago he just started to talk, Could not speak and now is running, walking, talking, and becoming more independent.

It is fascinating to see how kids develop and how they become their own little self.

For his birthday he got a few Automoblox, one of my favorite toy cars that I wish was mine.

I am volunteering what precious free time I have to an Open Source Project called phpCollab. phpCollab has been around for many years and has sat neglected for the past 3 years. Recently new life has been brought to the project by http://www.ideato.it. I will be working on the Wireframeing, Visual Design, and front end developement.

phpCollab is an open source internet-enabled system for use in projects that require collaboration over the internet. Those organizations, such as consulting firms, that rely on a division between firm-side and client-side information will benefit most from use of phpCollab
