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. And chances are, these kids are watching a lot of their shows on their phones. Samsung just released their newest, fanciest phone that is touting 5g…
My first GoDaddy article
I’m thrilled to let people know that I got my first writing gig for a site besides my personal blogs or Sideways8. The title is “Who hosts this website? Tips and tools for finding IP address, DNS details and more“. Though this was a topic wasn’t my first choice, I knew I could write this…

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…
Microsoft and Linux
It seems like it is getting colder, can you feel that? Microsoft is releasing products that run on Linux and hiring Linux-like people. Things are afoot on the internet. Here are the moves Microsoft just made: Their number one database program, MS-SQL was just released to run on Linux, Microsoft’s blog article here. They partnered…
