Last year I created a site called shackbrackets as an attempt to build a simple online sporting game. I found that games like fantasy football were too complicated and time consuming for my tastes. I liked the idea of a simple pick ‘em game and was unhappy with some of the implementations out there. ESPN.com’s […]
I don’t use the Flash IDE to do any of my actionscript programming so I use the free Flex SDK to compile all of my code.
The other day I was having a hard time getting TweenLite, lightweight and fast tweening engine, to work because I was trying to import the easing functions like this:
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
It […]
The BCS is broken. I think this season, more than any other in recent history (except for maybe 2004), just goes to show how poorly the BCS works. The major BCS Bowls were all horrible match ups. The Rose Bowl featured the Pac 10 champions, The USC Trojans vs. the Fighting Illini. For some reason, […]

I’ve kind of been on a gadget craze today. First, I decided it was time to purchase an ultra-compact digital camera to complement my DSLR. I wanted something really small and light that I could carry around in my pocket every day. I decided to go with the Canon Powershot SD1000. Not only was it relatively cheap ($175.99), but […]
Tonight I’m pleased to announce the release of VisorLog. VisorLog is a simple and unobtrusive javascript logger. My inspiration for this project came from a program for the mac called Visor (Visor provides a systemwide terminal window accessible via a hotkey, much like the consoles found in games such as Quake.) Anyway, It’s pretty cool […]
Since the College Football season is drawing very near, I figured it was time to mention that I’ve launched a new site called ShackBrackets.com. The overall plan for the site is to have every kind of fantasy / pick ‘em game imaginable and allow for scoring to work across all games. For […]
My parents adopted a dog while I was home for my cousin Rachel’s wedding. Greta, who we believe is a mix between a Husky and a Shepard , is one of the cuter dogs I’ve seen. She’s only a puppy but it’s still incredibly fun to play with her. I’ve been taking a lot of […]
