Chris Shiflett has more info on the PHP Easter Eggs I wrote about earlier. I find it very humorous that he uses 37signals as his example site for the demo. 37signals has been receiving a lot of press recently for all the work with Ruby on Rails. [ READ MORE ]
I realize the posts have gotten to be pretty infrequent lately, but I am going to fix that. I am moving my blog back over to Wordpress (typo is just to slow on my host and they can’t seem to fix it). Before any of that can happen, I am going to have to write [ READ MORE ]

The company is headquartered in New York, with the majority of the company located there. I [ READ MORE ]
