Drag images into your email messages using Gmail

May 13th, 2010 - In the News, Javascript, Thoughts & Rants

I read this morning that Google added the ‘drag-n-drop’ feature to image attachments to mail.  Which is pretty exciting because if you think about it, you are really dragging an image INTO a browser.  I’m really curious what type of Javascript handling you need behind the scenes in order to ‘capture’ the image / attachment [...]

April 5th, 2010 - In the News, Reviews, Thoughts & Rants

I really liked last nights episode of the Celebrity Apprentice, and I’m happy to say good riddance to Rod Blagojevich.  He is an insult to being a Governor, the state of Illinois should be shocked to have had that fraud as someone in power.  I really believe that the way someone behaves under a task [...]

September 23rd, 2009 - Cool Apps, In the News, PHP

I was installing cmsmadesimple, and ran into an issue where errors were thrown while running cmsmadesimple under PHP 5.3.0 env.
