Posted on | October 17, 2008 | 5 Comments
David Walsh recently posted “Get WordPress Post Categories“, where he talked about using the wordpress get_categories() function to create a two column list of his categories in his theme.
I offer a slightly different approach using an unordered list. Read more

Bezier Class in MooTools
Posted on | October 16, 2008 | 2 Comments
Iván Paz (correct me if I’m wrong, not sure that is the correct surname) has put together a really awesome MooTools class that extends Fx.Morph with bezier calculations used in translations.
You can check out his site here: Ivanicus’ Code Box
He’s got an example set up too! But beware, it’s currently a work-in-progress, as he stated.
Form property set/get error with MooTools in Internet Explorer

Inspired by Aaron Newton’s “Programming to the Pattern”
Posted on | October 13, 2008 | 2 Comments
Aaron Newton is a contrbutor to MooTools and the care-taker of Clientside, CNET.com’s developer blog. He recently wrote about being inspired to write code differently and a more indepth post about his thoughts on (take a deep breath if you’re verbally reading this) “jQuery, MooTools, the Ajax Experience, Programming to the Pattern, and What Really Makes One Framework Different From Another“. He has inspired me to be more aware of how I write my code. Read more
My “First Post” post
Posted on | October 12, 2008 | No Comments
Hello and welcome! I’d much rather you read this as my first post than the “Hello World!”.
For starters, check out my About Me page to learn more about… me.
I’ve been thinking about what I should post that was informative. It could be a MooTools tutorial, or something I’ve done at work. Oh, I’m really big on web standards and unobtrusive javascript, so maybe I can talk about that. I’ve recently lead and completed a front end redesign on TV.com, so that’s an experience I could share.
Well, anyways, while I gather my thoughts and put together some thing with more meat, just know that there’s more to come. I’m also going to throw up a different theme too. This default one just ain’t working.
Thanks for visiting!
