This blog site has been a great thing for me. I have learned so much about myself by actually writing about my thoughts. It has opened my mind to how I really feel about life and the world around me. I have been experimenting more and more with web design and development. I can’t wait…
Parenthood – The journey begins
Parenthood is a never-ending journey and every day is a new adventure into making mistakes while trying to keep some sanity. Parenthood has no rules, guidelines or even a reference guide but it is still a great thing to be a part of. I entered upon this journey on June 7. Okay not entirely but that was the day my little boy, Salvador, was born so I will count that as the actual day the journey began. I will add more and more pages as time goes on and I get time to share these little life lessons.
Understanding JavaScript prototypes
Working with jQuery has been a really crazy journey these past few weeks. The biggest hurdle has been understanding how it all works. Little by little it has all been clicking in my head. Reading several articles about what jQuery is and how to use is has been a good enlightenment for me. There are…
Wireframes and mockups
What are wireframes? Simple. Wireframes are a bunch of boxes, circles and lines that when combined together create a skeleton of what will eventually be a finished product. Call it the chicken wire to a sculptor, the rough sketch to painter or even the Lego instructions of the X-Wing. But why? Why not? As a…

My Notepad++ take
Over the years I have loved working with code and can recall when I first saw those little lines that created a table to create a two column page and used simple graphics as the background of the entire table. I was using Microsoft’s FrontPage editor to not only create my own pages but to…
Working with code
It has been a really long time since I posted anything on my blog. There have been several reasons as to why. The biggest one is because I was slowly going through a small depression. Not being in school and not reading/learning about things that I love has effected me to a certain extent. Now,…
Lowering my standards or expectations
As of lately I have had this subject on my mind and I can’t seem to shake it. Part of that reason is because I was talking about it one night while working overnight. Being able to talk to somebody has shed some light to my subject and has helped me see things in a…
Making some progress
I am slowly making some progress in my site’s theme and I could not be any happier. Every last line of code is helping my understand how to properly implement my site. This week has been really productive for me. There are a few things that I still need to finish as far a images…
My days off
Having days off has been really good for me. I feel so much happier now that I can get more things done on my days off. A good example of all of this is the fact that I have been able to finish my friend’s site and keep wanting to add more and more to…
