I don’t consider myself a technofile by any means, but I do get a crush on a new phone in a hot second. With the explosion of new, smarter, slicker, sexier phones, I’ve been drooling for a while. I previously toted around an older Blackberry Curve. It was a delightful entry into the world where the internet lives in the palm of your hand, and emails and social networks are always available. That mistake will never be made again, I’m certainly not in the Blackberry target demo. Drum roll… Keep reading…

How can you deny ‘Dojo’ as the coolest Javascript library name? People that use it seem to love it, so I’m giving it a go. Check it out at the playground. I haven’t done a whole hell of a lot with it yet, but it’s a start, and I expect it to keep growing over the coming days/weeks.

First impressions – it feels like the jQuery a little bit, but I do miss the jQuery $ sign. I’m not used to it at all yet, it seems long-winded after writing so much jQuery. It certainly doesn’t appear to have the faithful following I’ve grown accustomed to with jQuery, but that can have its positive connotations as well. It could push me to write my own custom ‘plugins’ which in theory should lead to more power and usefulness. Plus it absolutely will push me to be a better front-end developer. I am excited to keep pressing forward with it.

Besides the more obvious reasons for not using them (if no reasons come to mind, stop reading and go play some place on YouTube), in-line styles suck on another level. Keep reading…

I like fun things, but getting tattoos all the time is rather cost prohibitive. So I have built a little playground area, for learning and trying new stuff. Some of it is just following along through tutorials I’ve seen online, and some if it is testing out new things as I read about them. Most of it is front-end related (CSS(3), HTML(5), and JavaScript/jQuery), but there is some coding going on as well (CodeIgniter) that you won’t see. At any rate, check out the playground for some good times.

BE WARNED: if you’re using IE, you probably won’t love it so much… sorry?

New ink, the pics don’t do it justice, but it’s a sweet piece.

The folks over at CDG (Citrus Design Group) launched another site last week. It was for a buddy from high school, and it was good to reconnect with him in a professional setting. Check out the new Focus Capital Group website. Let me know what you think!

Some one was kind enough to let me know my comments weren’t working – apparently changing some plugins broke them, but they should be fully functioning now. Submit one as a test to make sure, but I think we’re firing on all cylinders again!

We’re working hard generating business, and we’re happy to have a few things in the pipeline. For now, we’ve redesigned our site again. Check out the new look at WeAreCitrus.com.
