Space Shuttle Endeavour Launch

Last night we watched Endeavour's launch from our apartment. I have to say it was pretty freakin' sweet. This is the second I have witnessed at night. The first was so long ago, I barely remember what it felt like. It was amazing how well we could see it (well, it …

What is wrong with our world?

With all of the nonsense out there that we come across day in and day out, why is it such big news that Barack Obama is getting a dog for his family. Certainly, mention it once. Maybe talk about it briefly when it materializes. I get it dogs are cute. But is it really …

A List Apart Survey 2008

I utilize A List Apart frequently to learn and grow as a web developer. It is an incredible tool that I hope, one day, to contribute to. For now, I've shown my support through their 2008 survey. Maybe you should, too.

Let it be Known

Eating yogurt with a fork is not as easy as one would hope. Especially towards the bottom of those little cups.

Bar Camp Orlando: This weekend

I just registered for Bar Camp Orlando which is happening this weekend downtown. One of my students told me about it and looks like it's going to be pretty sweet. After looking through the attendee list, it seems quite a few friends and acquaintences will be there. …

The Price You Pay...

What you are about to read is a brief tale of dishonor and blatant thievery on the www. This is a story that represents the very essence of all that Fisticuff Design Co. has sworn to protect, in our attempts to "defend the honor" of our clients on the web. I would love …

Extra! Extra! Throwin' Down Something New

By now you should know that Fisticuff Design is always looking to "Throw down" to defend your honor in the WWW. Recently, we decided to do a little "self-defense" by means of some updates to the Fisticuff Design Co. website. Said updates are documented, as follows:

New …

St. Jay vs. The Wind

We just got back from this year's St. Jay's Day celebration was held in Chicago, IL. It was an action packed weekend full of food, fun, and of course lots of Jay. It's always great fun getting to spend time with my friends and even better when you add a new place to …

A Fresh Start

Today was my first day with a new company. I am happy to report that I am the newest addition to the team at Candace Crowe Design, here in Orlando.

So far so good. I think it will be a good fit. It's a fairly small, close knit team of talented individuals. Everyone was …

VIRB Update

So I spent a bit of time this afternoon updating and styling my VIRB.com profile. I'd like to do something a bit more exciting, but for now I thought I'd keep it consistent with the bryan-miller.com layout.

Tell me what you think.

Dinner is Served.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that I am the next Emeril or even that I deserve a little food network face time. However, I have been dabbling in the "cooking arts" as of late. I have always enjoyed cooking and I tend to go through phases of kitchen …

Gettin' Props and Givin' 'Em Back.

I want to take a moment to give a quick shout out to CSS Snap for including my web portfolio in their "Best CSS Web Gallery".
So, if you have a moment, pop on over and give my site a vote!

This Little Piggy Was Posted to Flickr.

Nila (left) and Lilu (right) gettin' cuddly.
Knowing that I am a bit of a softy, my wife, my sister-in-law, and their mother managed to gang up on me and convince me that we needed two cuddly baby guinea pigs in our home. I have to admit they grow on you quickly. …

Speaking of flickr, I finally upgraded to a pro account, so get ready for a …

Kudos to you Mr. Craigslist Poster Person

It is an odd phenomenon. More or less every business needs the services we provide, to some degree. I think that is why I became interested in web development. We almost take the web for granted. Until you really sit down and think about it, you miss how many areas of …

Web Couture

Sometimes the web development industry feels very much as I expect the fashion industry feels. Of course that would be assuming I ever paid any attention to fashion. Really, you should see how I dress. Think Magnum PI sans mustache and slightly less thigh. Regardless of …

Women's World Cup in Full Swing

China's Song Xiaoli celebrates her game winning goal. Photo taken from fifa.com
So the Women's World Cup started this week and frankly, aside from David Beckham, it's all my kid sister has been talking about for weeks. I haven't been too excited, myself. Why would I …
