What should you charge?
Selling a product is so much easier. You have a fixed cost at which you buy (called wholesale), so you figure out how much profit you’d like, and mark it up according. There’s even the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) to make your life easier. But everyone who decides to sell their services will agonize over this question: “How much should I charge?”
There are many ways to answer...

So, I rooted my nook color and put on the kindle app. Now I rooted my Kindle fire and put on the nook app. I thought the world needed balance.
First of all, let’s clarify what the NASA budget is. Do you realize that the $850 billion dollar bailout, that sum of money is greater than the entire 50-year running budget of NASA?
And so when someone says, “We don’t have enough money for this space probe,” I’m asking, no, it’s not that you don’t have enough money, it’s that the distribution of money that you’re spending is warped in...

var x=5; var...

Somthing had to be really.. really.. interesting to keep my attention. I often wonder what it would be like to “be normal”. By my count, I presently have book marks in the beginning ...

8 Wordpress Security Ninja Tips
1 – Set up Backups This is quite simply a requirement. If you don’t have backups, you’re putting all your eggs in one basket and if something goes wrong, you lose everything. You’d have to be mad to risk this… There are 3 rules for a good backup:

It needs to be automatic (Because you aren’t going to...

Moo'D Cards
Last month I ordered some Moo Minicards, I liked them so much that I’ve been trying to think of a reason to get some more – and last week I found that reason! I’ve just started working with a major new client on a very exciting project (under wraps at the moment, but watch this space) – and for the kickoff meeting which took place yesterday, they wanted to discuss design structure and...
The Digital Signage
This is a project I’m pretty excited about. A friend of mine works for a company that has around 200 stores. Each store has a Digital Sign inside the store. The company that managed the signs went under. Now they have 200 empty boards.
That’s where this project came in. We through together a quick display that cycles jpeg images. I want to take it to the next level, hopefully other...

The Lossless of Lossy
I needed to know this, and now so do you.
