I’ve been noticing the eCPM of my Google Adsense account going up and down in drastic amounts. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. From my understanding, this would be a good thing, meaning that are more people advertising than there were before. But there are still a lot of other factors involved with the eCPM for each web site, traffic, click count and so on, just to name a few.

I’ve been doing web graphics for quite awhile now and throughout my years as a graphic designer I’ve always had a problem with how Safari handles web graphics. Safari is the only browser on the market today that honors ICC profiles within graphics, which seems a bit odd to me but I can understand how it has its place depending on the graphic you’re wanting to view and/or load.

We’ve recently been having quite a few clients that have been interested in getting their files backed up and secure. This is a topic that has always interested me and I’ve done a lot of research in the past in order to get my backups setup, secure, automated and fail-safe. I’m going to go over my backup solutions and what I’ve done in the past that hasn’t worked for me.

So as the title implies, my wife just gave me the news that I’m going to be a daddy, again!
We’ve been trying for almost a year now, since Haden turned 2. There has been a lot going on over the past year, which brought on a lot of stress and this is most likely why it took us so long to conceive for the second time.

So we decided to stop this evening and pickup a test just to be sure and it was exactly what we were hoping for.

Recently I went to write an entry for my blog and was a little peeved when I realized that my WYSIWYG Editor was missing in WordPress. I didn’t think anything of it and figured it might have something to do with Flock as I had been having problems with it recently. So I decided to sleep on it and wait till tomorrow to resolve the issue.

So we recently finished our demo with Kate McLeod over at Streamtime. We’ve very impressed with the way the applications runs, functions and the features that it has. We really haven’t had a chance to go through it as much as Kate did with us during the demo. So when comparing Streamtime with Studiometry I thought they were very similar in features and function, but now I see that Streamtime has FAR FAR more features and functions than Studiometry and is definitely a winner over Studiometry in my book.
