Over the past couple years I have been accumulating and stock piling as many random links about Web Design, Graphic Design, CSS, HTML, Business, Marketing, and whatever else I came across.  I’ve been collecting them with the mentality of “I’ll read these someday…”.  I’ve been neglecting quite a few of them, simply because I had [...]

  www.DigiAve.net   I’ve finally finished the Digital Avenue web site redesign. I say “finished” because I feel the remaining changes are something only I, and a couple other people, will notice. I think everyone will enjoy the new look and feel of the latest changes. The new layout will make it easier to display the most recent [...]

My blogging has hit a wall recently.  When I started this blog I had every intention to post every single day.  A blog means something different to everyone, but to me, a blog is supposed to be personal little stories, ideas, thoughts, things about your day.  Somewhere along the line, I lost that original approach.  I [...]

While Microsoft keeps throwing money on their new advertising campaign in an effort to convince the public of their superior platform, a rather embarrassing fact has just come to light. Microsoft, which has it’s own set of tools for multimedia, including their Expression Studio for video editing (which they claim “takes your creative possibilities to a [...]

While working on one of his inventions, a colleague asked Thomas Edison why most of his inventions failed.  Thomas Edison replied something along the lines of, “None of my inventions have failed, I’ve just proven hundreds of methods that don’t work.”  I love this quote.  If Edison had quit working on his inventions when one [...]

The song is the purest and most natural form of entertainment known to man.  It truly is the universal language.  The youngest of infants (it’s speculated even unborn children) can hear, react, and reproduce musical forms, before they can even speak the language.  A vocalist of another language can sing a passage, and bring people [...]
