Get This Song

By Emile • Jul 6th, 2005 • Category: General, Music

“Son’s Gonna Rise” by Citizen Cope aka Clarence Greenwood. I originally heard this song when it was the bedding for the Pontiac 2005 Superbowl commercial which debuted the Pontiac Solstice. I ended up hunting the song title down, purchasing it through iTunes, only to have Apple (via an iTunes weekly email) say that […]

By Emile • Jul 5th, 2005 • Category: Blogging, FileMaker, General, Wordpress

There is a ‘return to home’ link that appears on every page BUT the homepage. Chances are, it’s broken on your site, but the fix is VERY easy. You […]



Preventing iPod & Laptop Theft

By Emile • Jul 2nd, 2005 • Category: General

It’s not like it hasn’t been said before, but for some reason people always act surprised when I mention that I choose not to use the standard Apple iPod headphones because:
