Building the Ultimate Media Center, Part 2: Plex
If there’s a killer app out there in the media center world, it’s Plex. Built on the long running XBMC, Plex is a fork of the project optimized to run on the Mac. XBMC has been around since the first Xbox, making one of the most established media center platforms out there. It’s long outgrown [...]
Design Books for Developers
Designing the Obvious is a book I ran into at Books a Million a few months ago. Usually when I head out to bookstores I grab a handful of books and end up scanning over them for tips, maybe reading a few relevant chapters, then putting it back. Very rarely do I end up reading [...]
Google Quietly Adds support for Multiple Email Addresses
For those of you pained with having multiple Google Accounts, you might be able to associate some of them now! From any Google account you can now add any non-Gmail email address you want to your account. By default your account might have a gmail account associated with it already — but now you can [...]
Using Google as Your Jabber Server
Although my experience with Google Apps didn’t start off all that spectacular, I’m still using it after two months. As an independent product in the Google line I’d say it would be a great product, but it’s synergy with the rest of the Google domain is still sorely lacking at this time. Google Apps still [...]
Pownce and Adobe Air?
Pownce made it’s public debut tonight after quite a few months in beta and heavy speculation.

Ben Forta’s guide to getting Coldfusion certified
If you’re looking to get Coldfusion Certified there’s not too many products out there to help you. I wrote about the few I used of which this small but in depth book played an important role.

Book 3: Head First Design Patterns
Just a disclaimer for this book review. You might notice that all the reviews for books I’ve done this year have relatively high ratings. There’s a reason for this! The books I’m starting with this year are ones that I’ve been wanting to read or finish for a while and are at the top of [...]

The first great publication of the Fusion Authority
I have a problem with magazines and collections of short publications. Articles that aren’t immediately eye catching sometimes get skimmed over and eventually forget to follow up. I decided to use one of my 50 Books as a way of finishing up this [...]
