Time for Something a Little Different…

Perspective, point of view, is everything, isn’t it. Ideologically to be sure, but I’m speaking from a purely visual standpoint. For all of the visual information we perceive, we are really very constrained in what we experience through our eyes. We almost always see things from the same height, in a limited color pallet (granted its millions of colors) compared… Continue reading

My Favorite WordPress Plugins

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]’ve used WordPress for 4 years now, ever since version 3.0 was released, but I’ve never written about my favorite WordPress plugins; so, this post is way overdue! Even though I actively use a high number of WordPress plugins, 37 plugins, I’ve decided to only write about the 3 plugins I literally use every single time I use WordPress. In… Continue reading

Down Memory Lane

My blog is about 6 months away from being 10 years old. I began blogging back in March, 2004. That’s just hard to believe. In some ways that seems like a lifetime ago while in others it seems like just yesterday. At present, my blog contains 3,156 posts, an average of  332 posts a year, or nearly 1 post per… Continue reading

Was I Really THAT Wrong?!

This has been rumbling around in the back of my mind bugging me for the past few weeks; so, I decided to blog about it.

WordPress 3 is an awesome blogging platform!) In that time, I’ve had over 20,000 unique visitors to tt.us—over 4,000 hits this past May when I posted… Continue reading

Simply Elated @SlideShowPro

Image via CrunchBase I get excited about odd things.  I know.  Can’t help it.  It’s just me. I’ve written about my abiding love of @SlideShowPro Director, which I use to manage all of the photographs here at timtyson.us as well my digital video.  It took me years to get my head around that system.  And because I do not use… Continue reading

WordPress 3.0

Image via CrunchBase Well, WordPress 3.0 has been available for download as a beta product until today.  It went alpha.  So I downloaded it having heard good things about its stability and usability.  I’m especially interested in exploring the merging of MU into the base installation. My upgrade was not without issues though:  immediately after the upgrade the WordPress version… Continue reading

Strangely Silent

Those who know me well know that I’m never just sitting around doing nothing.  So, I’ve received several comments from friends and relatives about having very little activity on my blog for the past week or two.  What’s up?! I’ve been insanely busy, primarily with exploring new technology platforms.  The fruits of these explorations will soon be evident here at… Continue reading
