The ALA 2011 Web Design Survey

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Design |

Just who are these people who make websites? What are their titles? What kind of education have they had? What skills do they possess and what skills do their employers imagine they possess? How do they stay current? How happy are they? How well are they paid? How mobile are they, creatively and economically? …take [...]

An Atheist Manifesto

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Writing |

“Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply a refusal to deny the obvious. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which the obvious is overlooked as a matter of principle. The obvious must be observed and re-observed and argued for. This is a thankless job. [...]

Steve Jobs 

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Technology |

Steve Jobs passed away today. I learned of his passing through Twitter on my iPhone, confirmed it on my iPad and am now pecking out these tired words on my iMac. It seems the world is yours, Steve. What a brilliant way to go. RIP.

CodeLesson.com Review

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Business |

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Health and Fitness |

Team Beachbody Sucks?

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Business |

In one of my last posts I mentioned becoming an Independent Team Beachbody Coach through Team Beachbody. This basically means that I’m an affiliate of Beachbody; I can direct people to their online store (or the website they set up for me) and if someone purchases anything, I get a commission. I decided to search [...]

Time Warner: Customer Service Nightmare

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in Business |

This is my “second” account with Time Warner. Really, it’s my first, but apparently when you move they close your account and open a new one without informing you. I lived at my previous address for a little over a year and during that time I was paying for what I believed to be their [...]

Written by (@jasonmanheim) in DIY |

Most of the advice you’ll find on the internet for cheap dry erase boards or whiteboards will have you taking a trip to your local Home Depot to purchase a bunch of crap, for way too much money. You can find instructions for a DIY Whiteboard for under $50 that uses a material called Melamine [...]
