Friday was my last day at Netconcepts. It wasn’t very emotional because this has been building up for about a month now. My first phone interview with PBwiki was on September 5th, I was in CA interviewing in person September 19th and I put in my notice on September 24th. I’ve had a chance to [...]
So after 27 years in southern WI, I’m moving to California. I’ve just accepted a position with http://www.pbwiki.com as a junior developer. I start there on October 20th, so it will be a crazy couple of weeks preparing to move. I’ve wanted to move to the bay area for quite some time, and this was [...]
At Netconcepts I’ve implemented microformats in order to optimize content for search engines. An example of this would be the hCard microformat which we’re using in the Allen Edmonds store locator.

This is what I left on our break room table this morning.
E.G. Daily is my favorite musician. I absolutely love her music. A few years ago I flew out to L.A. just to see her one woman autobiographical musical “Listen Closely”. Her show was one of the best I’ve ever seen and it has truly inspired me to live my life to the fullest. She’s amazing. [...]
When I was a member of eMusic one feature they had that I absolutely loved was the ability to view artists by label. Now I’ve moved over to Rhapsody and I really miss this incredibly useful feature. To be able to do a search for artists on Kill Rock Stars or JDub Records would be [...]
