This is not, I repeat, this is not my old CamWorld (pioneering blog) site from the late 1990s. :-)

Drupal is a great platform as well. I work with K-12 school districts every day and the majority are not choosing Drupal because the support and custom Drupal development needed is…

Yes, that is exactly right. Public school districts can no longer use E-Rate (federal money) funds to pay for web site hosting or web site management systems. The FCC decided to re…

This is a really smart acquisition. WordPress continues to dominate the CMS market. With the upcoming REST API, it's only going to get better. I'm watching niche CMS industry after…

Newark, CA and Newark, NJ are different places. Newark, CA --> Newark Unified School District Newark, NJ --> Newark Public Schools

A large percentage of the Zuckerberg money went towards the NTU teacher contract that rewards teachers with bonuses based on performance. http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/13/10/2…

This is great, if....the school software vendors adopt it as a standard and allow their systems to be Clever-enabled. I work for a large school district and a large majority of our…

I believe this is the why our Armed Forces recruiters often have the names, addresses and phone numbers of our graduating seniors every year. It's usually up to the school administ…

I'm not sure I see the fucking point of using fucking swear words.

This guy rationalized his own suicide. I read a few of this essays. He's cuckoo as a clock.

Most successful designers need at least a small amount of natural talent. You can be taught the principals of design in school or you can pick them up from books, but without some …

Congratulations to LayerVault on their biggest day of traffic ever. Whether this brew-ha-ha was intentional or not, a lot more people are now aware of them than before today. I lik…

Whoops, you are correct. s/Dalton/Dustin

It's interesting what Dustin is trying, but I find the utter lack of design personality across the sites to be quite off-putting. It's trying to fix 200+ differently-shaped circles…

I understand the problem, and I feel for these people who have the crushing student loan debt. I left college with a lot of student loan but debt, too. I struggled but managed to p…

I love Lanyrd. You have gone and built something that is better than what came before you. I conceived a startup in in 2006 called Confabb.com that strove to be what Lanyrd has bec…

The chalk dot on the wall story comes directly from a 1983 book called "A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative" by Roger VonOech. A proper credit or footnote…

If there were a biography of Dave Winer, I would read it. I might not like it all that much, but I would certainly read it and probably garner some great insight from it.

I don't hate recruiters. There are a few really great ones and a whole lot of really bad ones. I don't fault them for trying to make a living, but I do recognize that the entire pr…

I have shared this story with some of the Army leaders I work with.

This is good news. Chad will be the type of CEO that understands code and how innovation in that area will lead to new opportunities for Etsy. The history of the Internet is litter…
