My guess is this will largely go un-noticed but I felt a formal blog post was in order for announcing my decision to stop contributing to AptitudeCMS and Geeklog.

Here's the second commercials featuring yours truly.
This is Maia, Lauryn and myself in a DNR video featuring safety as the Iowa Pheasant season gets started:
Well, I'm finally getting around to upgrading my boat. I'm pretty excited but this also means I need to sell mine. I'm asking $3,750 or best offer for a great boat with these features:
My first try at a short podcast. Basically a video with zilch in the way of editing. That's next:
Preparing to Fish Iowa's Interior Streams from Tony BIbbs on Vimeo.
I hate this phenomenon on Twitter called Follow Friday (referred to via the #ff and #followfriday hashtags). Get ready for a big dose of hater-ade because I've endured this crap for the past few Friday's, filling up my Twitter stream and it's gone beyond the point of ridiculous. So why am I hatin'?
Conceptually Follow Friday is cool. It's a day to try and expand your Twitter network by taking recommendations from your followers on other people worth following. Simple enough. But the whole damn thing is missing the target. That said, here's...
Two weeks ago MVCnPHP v0.3.0 was released into the wild. This update really addresses only two things:
This is just a friendly reminder that this Friday, March 27th from 12pm-1pm CST I will be giving a webinar on using Propel, an object relational mapper (ORM). This webinar is just one of a series being sponsored by php|architect. The webinar will focus on the basics of installing and using Propel as well as one or two more advanced topics. If you are interested why not register now!
I will start this blog entry by saying I like Zend Framework. I really do. However, the part of ZF I don't use is the MVC implementation. No, it's not bad. Actually it's a good implementation that is the product of a lot of hard work by Zenders and non-Zenders alike. I use bits and pieces of ZF in my PHP projects and, admittedly, Zend's MVC implementation never made the cut. Why?
I started using my first MVC implementation, Phrame, back around 2002 long before ZF. I was quickly turned off...
It never fails. Once in a while (today being one of them) I get questions from friends about Twitter an why they should use it. I use to point them to one of my blog posts on the subject. That might be enough to get people to sign up but many still don't get it. Truth be told, Twitter is ironically hard to describe in just 140 characters so maybe instead of trying to focus so much on the social aspects of the site I should simply give clear examples of good things that...
I wanted to give a heads-up to all the PHP, Mac and Oracle fans that I just had an article published on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). It's been in the works for months but has only just recently been published. I have to give Christopher Jones a lot of credit for being patient wtih me. The end result was an article that was fairly easy to write but was a bit of a pain. What you see in the final version is how to setup PHP, Apache and the Oracle Instant Client on a...
I've never been tagged before in any sort of blog meme thing but after seeing Marcus Whitney post one on his blog I figured I might as well give it a try for myself.
