A Guy Walks into a Fast-Food Joint… Sometime in the early 1990's I walked into a fast-food restaurant (Taco Bell) to see an ordering kiosk. This is long before we saw these kinds of touchscreens in fast-food chains (Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc.) in the last five years. It was a test back then. But it...

FluentCRM Conditional Checks
Did you miss me? I wrote daily all of last year. And this year I started writing the first two weeks of the year but then I took the rest of January off. Did you notice? The issue wasn't that I didn't know what to write. The issue was answering the question what I was...

Two Problems I've Faced While Blogging Daily If you've just discovered this blog via this post, you're coming in on a streak of 352 days of daily blogging.

The #2 WordPress Blog
See The WP Weekly Awards? Today the WP Weekly awards announced their winners on several categories. And this blog came in second place - the Silver medal, if you will. Remember this ad from Avis? It's how I felt taking the second spot. There's no way anyone beats WP Beginner. I'm pretty sure we all...
