All of my GoDaddy Articles
I wrote a decent amount of articles for GoDaddy. They wound up taking a different direction on writing, so that has since stopped. I figured I should link to my author page on GoDaddy, so here it is. Enjoy!
Sideway8 Is Being Acquired
TLDR; version: Sideways8 is being acquired. Aaron is doing other stuff. Longer version: It’s a bittersweet symphony, this chapter of my life. In 2008, I left my job and started freelancing. In 2010, Adam Walker and I started Sideways8, a web design and web development agency. It became a very successful venture once we took…
These Phones Speeds Are Getting Out of Control
I probably use more bandwidth than my mom, but probably not more bandwidth than a teenager that just binge watches every show they want to because they are bored.

Solid WordPress hosting
I’ll start this off letting you know what I have an affiliate link to the hosting company that I recommend. I didn’t have affiliate link when I started using them, and I really don’t get a ton of money from it, but I am always asked about hosting when I speak at Meetups and WordCamps…
Breaking the Social Media Addiction
Bad habits drive me crazy, I wish I didn’t have them, but I do. That is why, once a year, I don’t drink coffee for a week. I’m a 3-cups-a-day kind of guy, but I don’t like to be dependant on caffeine. I need to know that I can stop it at any time. I…
Microsoft and Linux: Part Two
In my previous article (Part 1), I mentioned that I would expect Microsoft to not use/release a Linux distro, but a BSD distro. I think I was spot on… This article Microsoft Creates Its Own Distribution Of FreeBSD Operating System proves it. From the article: Microsoft has released its own FreeBSD distribution and offered official…
