Why I Hate Bloggers That Give Blogging Advice
Posted on April 7, 2010 by snipe in Featured, Web Development
Let me start off by saying that this blog post is not meant as advice. Because if it were advice, the sheer magnitude of my hypocrisy would create a tear in the space-time continuum, and we’d all die. And while I’m all for causing the downfall of humanity, it’s not the right time. Yet.

Posted on February 6, 2010 by snipe in Featured, Web Development
I’m a planning whore. It’s true. I’m one of those weirdos that really enjoys creating data flows, use cases, wireframes, and functional requirements documents. My bizarre predalictions aside, wireframes are a critical part of planning any website or web based application.
