WordPress Versus Joomla! as a CMS
Feb 24, 2009 Information, Internet, Web Design
There are an infinite amount of resources online that go into the utilization of WordPress as a CMS and, by design, Joomla! is one. However, I have had several people ask me which I like to use better. My answer: It depends. Now I can direct them to this post.

Baseball Enthusiast Website to Launch 10/6
Sep 28, 2008 Interactive Media, Internet, Web Design
Those of you who know me have probably seen my recent trips across town visiting various baseball stadiums. As a internet junkie and an avid baseball fan, I thought that it would be a great idea to promote all of the baseball that the valley has to offer. Why not couple the two things that I enjoy the most. Baseball and technology.
The website will contain information on the Arizona Fall League, Cactus League Spring Training, the Arizona Diamondbacks and some other fun baseball facts and features. I am lining up a list of features for the coming months and since I will be attending games anyhow, there will be much fresh content on the site. There will be some informal game commentaries that should make it fun and interesting. Check back for additional information to be coming soon.
