All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

Tags: Chuck Norris Funny JavaScript jQuery

If you are familiar with jQuery you might know that John Resig is jQuery’s creator. He is a JavaScript genius and this blog post I found has a very nice set of jokes about him. If you like Chuck Norris and you know jQuery, you will find this very entertaining. Nice work Ben!

2009: Year in Review

January 16th, 2010
in Personal, Work

Well I guess it’s about time I write about what has happened in the last 12 months. This past year has been the biggest year of changes in my life thus far. Here is the rundown:

Started January at IWU, my final semester of college, living off campus (since September 2008)
February 25th I joined Twitter
In February I began my job search
February 16th I took and passed the Zend PHP 5 Certification
In April I was hired by FORUM Credit Union
April 25th I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a B.S. in Computer Internet Development
April 26th I moved to Indianapolis, IN
April 29th I began my new job at FORUM
May 21st I proposed to Katie Stipe, and she said YES!
In August we had engagement photos taken
June, July, August, September and October was a blur of wedding preparations
October 17th I got married! (photos)
In December we took a vacation to Disney in Florida (I hadn’t been there since I was 6)

It has been a great, full year. I’m very much looking forward to a slower yet just as fulfilling 2010.

You should follow me on twitter to get the latest from 2010.

jQuery 1.4 Released!

January 14th, 2010
in JavaScript

Today, the jQuery team released the next version of their revolutionary JavaScript framework. Today is also the 4th birthday of jQuery although it has only recently (in the last year or so) become almost standard among web developers. jQuery has made developing in JavaScript fun again, for me, and hopefully you too.

You can read all about it on the 14 days of jQuery site. The links to download the files are right on that page, or you can also use the following links:

Enable Windows 7 “God” Mode

I’m not sure I like the name of this hack, but it is descriptive.

“I thought this was a joke when I read it, but evidently not. If you want a quick way to get to all the settings on Windows 7, GodMode is it. How?

Add a new folder to your desktop and name it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} – you will now see [a new icon] on your desktop and a pretty long list of items. Below is just a small sample.

Traffic Light + Progress Bar

December 31st, 2009
in Usability

What happens when you mix a traditional traffic light with a progress bar? The folks at Relogik created a concept that’s pretty interesting. Read about it here: http://relogik.com/eko.

What do you think? Do you think this would work?

TeuxDeux

December 10th, 2009
in Usability

It seems like these days everyone is always finding some new product or tool to help get things done. There are many apps out there – a lot of good and a lot of bad apps. I recently found one of the best. The problem is simple – we can’t keep track of what we need to do – so the solution should be simple too.

Enter TeuxDeux:

TeuxDeux is probably the simplest to-do app you have ever seen. It consists of a list, for each day. That’s it. (Well, there’s also a “someday” list too.) Sign-up and give it a try. You will be amazed at how simple and usable this app is.
