I have done a few end of year / start of new year posts in the past but this one will not be a look back at the past year. 2012 has been a great year for me and my business, a year of growth and the pain that often comes with it. But I …
Last night, I started the process of migrating pixelyzed.com from a hybrid static and blog site which ran under blogCFC to a full blogging site entirely powered by WordPress (and PHP). As a long time ColdFusion developer and advocate, this is a huge change for me. It is a decision I did not take lightly …
This is just a quick note to tell you all that I just migrated the pixelyzed.com blog to Wordpress. I will post again in the next few days to explain the reasoning behind the change and speak of my experience doing so. For now, you will notice that he blog is no longer under a …
As is becoming a tradition for me, I’m writing a post to reflect on the last year as we’re jumping into the new. I will write another post later to talk about new tools and new technologies I discovered or started using in 2009. In this one, I reflect on the past year, the things …

Earlier this week I finally published the new version of my Web design business site, webfocusdesign.com which I’ve worked at on and off for several months now. The site finally reflects my current company branding and sports the same visual identity as my business card, invoices and other client facing print materials. It also finally …
There is a meme popping on Twitter and the blogosphere where some Web professionals are wondering if it is a good thing to listen to music while working or not. I had been reflecting on that very thing recently so this comes at a timely moment for me. Of course, to a point this comes …
3 days ago, I started my new career as a full time Web design professional freelancer… Well, it’s actually not a new career because I’ve been doing it for over 12 years now. But for a while in the mid 90’s, it did play second fiddle to music and working a production job in a …
