Google is now adding support for Picasa, Google Reader, AdWords, News, Finance, and other products for Google Apps.

Will it come with a complimentary vial of eye drops?

I have no doubt that Apple will soon release a revolutionary new product that will change the way we interact with friends and family online.

August 31, 2009

I managed to find this interesting page on the Whirlpool.net.au forum. Interestingly enough it popped up in a google search! I would say it’s a page one of the developers stuck up as a helpful way of showing what visitors have searched for on google over the last 2 minutes. There are literally hundreds of [...]

How to calculate your web design freelance hourly rate

August 6, 2009

I just found a very interesting freelance hourly rate calculator on Freelance Switch. It got me thinking, how much is someone’s time worth each hour?
