I have my list? What about you? My list? I don’t like solving problems that aren’t related to what I’m doing I don’t like waiting for stuff I don’t like it when things don’t work I don’t like egotistical ass-wipes. Egotists are OK, since I’m one. But not the ass-wipes. They just stink. I don’t [...]
The Zend DevCloud was released at ZendCon as a technology preview. I do a lot of my development work on the DevCloud now and I have my stories. But I’m interested in hearing yours. If you are using DevCloud for serious development work I would like to hear about it. We would like to put [...]
One of the problems that anyone who has taught a programming class will know is that the worst part of the class isn’t bored students, inane questions or poor material, but, rather, getting started. I delivered Zend’s training for 3 years (myself among several others) and I can say, without reservation, that one of the [...]

Watch 12 Cute Dogs Bark The Star Wars Imperial March In VW’s Super Bowl Ad Teaser.
I’m going to be doing a video critique of some source code later on today and the people being critiqued wanted to have my mug showing so they could see the looks of incredulity (I am kidding, of course). So I did some looking around to find something that would keep the webcam software on [...]
Just wrapped up a call working on our webinar schedule for the year. We’ve got a bunch of ideas but we’d like to also get your input as well. Yes, I know y’all want ZF2 webinars. We have that down. I would also like to do an HTML5 and mobile webinar but I need an [...]
Right prior to ZendCon 2010 I released an album called Coronal Loop Safari. It was a decent album, but not one that really “fit” well with the style that I find most compelling.
