Both Amy and I think it’s beautiful. I was searching for a new design that has one long text column and cool layout for the rest. It also has links for social media and a decent post layout. Definitely using this for an upcoming project. Check out Smashing Magazine for this free theme and three …

Wikipedia: Gateway Platform to More Girls in Tech?
Ever since the Wikimedia Foundation announced its goal to raise the share of female contributors to Wikipedia 25 percent by 2015, I’ve had it in my head to make sure my 11-year old niece is adding her voice to the collective knowledge of the world. It was with this goal of lighting the next generation’s …

How to get a job in gaming
Since I have a little background in gaming folks are always asking me, “How do I get in?” Which is usually followed by, “Is it worth it?” First of all, it is. Definitely. It’s all that you think it is and more. The best part being that all your colleagues are huge fans so it’s …

A New Design for 1X57
A little over three years ago Amy and I were walking the streets of DC talking about starting a business. After working together for two years, side by side, day-in, day-out, we realized anything we did individually paled in comparison to what we could do together. Despite butting heads on numerous occasions and dealing with myriad complications, unknowns, …
Why “The Social Network” Should and Will Win Best Picture
It’s no secret I liked the Facebook movie, The Social Network. Not because Aaron Sorkin grossly sensualized or flat out changed details and aspects to make the story more compelling. Nor because Trent Reznor added a wicked awesome soundtrack that moved me to bop along to the melodic beats of base in my seat. And not …
