How to Setup an iPhone 3G / 3Gs on T-Mobile

Firebug for Google Chrome and IE6 / IE7 / IE8 (And Beyond!)

The crown jewel of web development (at least for me) has been Firebug. Unfortunately it’s only for Mozilla Firefox… or so I thought.

Easy way to debug Javascript in IE6

While at work today, I found myself chasing a Javascript bug in IE6. For any of you who have even attempted to do such a thing, you know this is no small task. IE6 has a habit of giving generic error messages on non-existing lines of code.
So I went on a search looking for some [...]

First Impression with Google Chrome: Worth it to switch?

I’m an avid Firefox user, I love how I can extend the base features of FireFox at anytime with a number of plug-ins. Although went buzz made it around the office that Google had officially launched it’s web browser, I was ready to pass it off. That was, until, a co-worker showed me the break [...]

So, what do you create websites in?

Something I get asked a lot is what I create websites in. Some people come to me for advice for which editor I think is the best or to boast about their personal favorites. Among the many editors I’ve heard mentioned have been Dreamweaver, Front Page / Expression Web, and Notepad.
