I’ve eluded to their site before in previous posts within this blog, but one of the sites I have referenced several times as I am trying to quantify the potential bandwidth savings associated with the optimization of imagery on one’s web site is Quantcast. Quantcast essentially gives you the ability to determine estimated traffic figures [...]
I think I mentioned this before, but I am in the very-final stages of preparing my materials for a graphics optimization workshop that I will be presenting at the 2008 OmniUpdate User Conference in Palm Springs, California on Monday, March 3.

There are thousands of great free web sites out there, but one of the more practical sites that I use on an almost nightly basis to see how I can maximize my TV-viewing pleasure is the TV Guide web site. By simply choosing one’s location, one can immediately see all of the TV listings for [...]
I couldn’t believe my eyes tonight when I noticed that, after roughly 85 postings since I launched this blog, I STILL hadn’t taken the time to talk about my absolute all-time favorite OpenSource software developer: Mozilla. The Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email application are absolutely outstanding…and my online browsing experiences and productivity have [...]
