I got a new snowboard
Im back! I’ve had some posts in the works and have saved them in the “draft” state, but I realized I haven’t been cranking out posts like I should. I keep forgetting the fact that this is MY blog so it goes however I want. So I’m going to try to post more frequently, and…
“but it was all worth it”… is stupid

RIP Steve Jobs
Everyone knows that I’m a HUGE apple fan. The passing of Steve Jobs today is most certainly a loss, but we must not take todays loss as if there will be some sort of delay in innovation. It is up to us to keep moving forward. Many thank Steve Jobs for coming out with awesome/cool…

Global IP List

For dcshoes.com, we are having 1 single site address (www.dcshoes.com) that will act differently according to the location of the user (and language too, but I wont get into that). At some point in time, a developer must deploy some code…

Don’t worry
Have been working awhile on personal projects and projects at work, so I haven’t had as much time as I would like to write in the blog. Rest assured it’s always on my mind, I just need something to write or rant about. How the hell is it July already? Jebus christos.
