Browsers and Website Statistics

With the current version of LunarStudio, I redesigned it with forward-thinking in mind versus a legacy mentality. I don’t have the time to think of the worst-case or even average viewing scenario and frankly really can’t be driven to care unless I’m getting paid to do so. The way I figure it is that if a person is having problems viewing my website, then there’s a chance that they are somewhat computer illiterate, and this might make a working situation tenuous at best – they’re simply trying to jump from an era of driving a horse and buggy to driving the latest Ferrari. I hope that this isn’t taken as being rude or condescending – I’m just merely stating that a user needs to get with the times or risk becoming a thing of the past.

MightyFunk Design News Update

One of my other websites, MightyFunk Design News was recently updated. I used the same basic template as I did for this site because I had liked it so much – clean and simple. Quite frankly, I just don’t have the time to custom design every one of my websites unless I’m getting paid to […]

Fixing the Economy

Over the past few years, the US economy has taken a severe beating leaving millions of Americans struggling to find employment and forcing others to be cautious in their spending habits. As a result of this climate of economic uncertainty, people have been quick to point their fingers at what they perceive as the source of their problems but very few are offering up effective and valid solutions to help solve this problem. In order to wrap our arms around this major issue, we need to first diagnose the issues that created this problem in the first place in order for it to not happen again.

Love My Host – MediaTemple

I spent a 1/2 hour on the phone with my tech support and web host at MediaTemple tonight. It’s not the first time that I’ve had to call them up with some advanced questions (I like to tinker), and they completely understood what I was saying. I ran into an issue today where I had […]

Cloudflare Comes to MediaTemple

Something worth noting for people looking for website hosting is that my host, MediaTemple just announced that they partnered up with CloudFlare. CloudFlare is a CDN, or Content Delivery Network. A CDN works by taking “clones” of your website, and copying them to various locations/servers around the country and in some cases around the world. […]

Visitor Traffic Increase

I noticed something unusual in my website statistics this morning. Traffic to this blog had jumped from around an average of 50 visitors a day to almost 600 visitors per day since September 20th. I’m still trying to figure out what exactly caused this spike. The only other times I’ve seen larger spikes is when […]

The Internet in Every US Home

“The FCC maintains that access to high-speed internet is not merely a convenience, but essential to provide a fair chance at a job and an education, as well as to run a successful business. In a report released last year, the FCC maintained, “approximately 26 million Americans, mostly in rural communities located in every region of the country, are denied access to the jobs and economic opportunity made possible by broadband.”

The Future of Lighting

Over the years, I’ve worked with architects, interior designers, stage lighting, and lighting manufacturers in producing images for them – if image lighting is off, clients don’t hesitate to tell me about it. Quite honestly, lighting was something I never really paid much attention to until I got into this field and found out that I had to have some understanding of the process – everything from temperature to different types of systems. To add to this, there’s the financial and environmental component that needs to be taken into consideration for the average user.
