(Part 1 of 2)
Let's cut the to chase: The web is a 1960's era IBM mainframe, and it sucks.
Mainframe interfaces are characterized by a query-response mechanism. Your terminal requests a starting point and a screen is sent to your terminal — the terminal being your remote interface to the computer. You read the screen, enter data in a few fields, then send the screen back to the mainframe. The mainframe processes it, then sends you a…

Part 1 of 3 / Install FreeBSD
Setting up and running a Unix web server is surprisingly easy. Recently, on del.icio.us, I ran across the article Become Your Own Web Host in 75 Steps. Without too much explanation, the article describes how to install FreeBSD, MySQL, PHP, and Apache. Hopefully the following series will expand on that article and go a little deeper.
We will be installing:
FreeBSD (STABLE)
MySQL
Apache…

I've been on Digg for a couple months now, and I've always heard of the Digg effect. I've seen charts and blogs about how it works, graphs and such, etc. By now this type of entry is beyond cliche, so I want to tackle things from the other side.
The pure excitement.
I must first warn you: if you sense a giddy tone, you're not mistaken.
(Also, this is written as half-blog/half-live diary. Please, bear with me.)
Here's the whole story. Craig…

Yo! Before we begin, I want our super-sensitive visitors to understand that this blog contains graphic materials. By this I mean Blood, Bruises, Veins and our co-worker Fred. You've been warned.
So, to start things off we'll use a picture of Fred that I took without his permission. You can probably tell by the look on his face.
*Let it be known that this photo was taken with a sick Sony 2MP Camera that iMarc Founder Nils…

We are happy to report that Nick and Cheryl Grant welcomed their second son, Wyatt Edward Grant this morning. Everyone is healthy and doing great, and Nick reported that Cheryl is resting comfortably. Website URL to come.
Woo hoo!
Edit and update, 1/25. Cheryl is up and at 'em, prowling the halls of Beverly Hospital already and Nick is on Cloud 9. Cheryl says Wyatt got Nick's nose. We're not sure that's a good thing. Wyatt grabbed a…

A couple weeks ago, Dave wrote a blog about the importance of project planning, and I still agree that planning is an important part of the process, I now also know something equally as important: communication.
Without communication, all is lost. In fact planning isn't effectively possible without communication. For example, someone on the sales team could plan out a complete site for a client without…

A general day at iMarc will consist of me having my headphones on for six or seven hours of the standard nine-hour day. I can't stand listening to all the litle clinks and clacks in the room around me, it drives into my brains like screws, slowly twisting... driving me insane.
Click, clack, the screws tighten...
The remedy is music. Anything that will disconnect me from the perpetual ticking of the world's natural clock: business. Without it I lose…

So what's better than being stuck on an island with 1,000 bikini-clad women, drinking martinis and soaking your unbelievably chiseled features with sunshine? Photoshop!
So recently a client of ours wanted some natural disaster imagery made for their site. We decided that some things are better displayed through overdramatization. Thus, we constructed our "tsunami scene" using 3 seperate photo components.
So here are…
