Good content: It's out there... you just have to...
In this internet age, it is so easy to create content that just about everyone does it. Over 100,000 iPhone apps in the App Store, WordPress themes available from hundreds of different sites, and the “Links Lists” type blogs that seem to be growing in number every day. Is this really a good thing? Quality over quantity. “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an...

iPhone 3GS, What's next?
No, this post is not a rumors post - no pictures of a slider iPhone, limo-style stretched iPhone, transparent iPhone, etc. Here’s the question; What will the next generation of the iPhone be named? The first iPhone was just called the “iPhone”, the second generation was called the “iPhone 3G” and the third generation was called the “iPhone 3GS”. iPhone 4G...

That's what nephews are for!
Prospective client: $400 for a logo?! Why are you so expensive? My nephew has Photoshop—I can just get him to do it.
Me: Does your nephew have Microsoft Word?
Prospective client: Yes.
Me: Then have him write you a novel while he’s at it.

Clients are awesome...
Me: I still haven't received your 40% deposit as outlined in the contract. Could you please check with accounting to see if that check was cut.
Client: Mmm, I can't guarantee we can still give you that deposit anymore.
Me: That was clearly outlined in our contract.
Client: Contracts are just paper.
Me: I'll have wait to begin work on the project once the deposit is received.
Client: YOU CAN'T DO THAT. YOU ARE HOLDING OUR PROJECT HOSTAGE!
Me: No, you are holding our deposit hostage.

Not the first post.
First posts are annoying. “Hi. My name is ________. I like ________, ________ and ________. Thanks you for visiting my blog and please come back soon.” I really don’t want to do that - let’s just get some real stuff in here! -Dylan
