You might notice at the top of phasrdesign.com, just under the logo and tagline, you can see a bubble with the latest PhasrDesign tweet. Well I’ve been asked how I accomplished this, so I thought maybe a short tutorial would be helpful. It’s pretty easy, so anyone with an html or text editor can add this to your website with just a few short lines of code. Read the rest of this entry »
Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about the implementation of html 5 into web development. It will take quite some time for it to be completely integrated in to the day to day web, but already there have been a few great examples that can be seen across the web. Read the rest of this entry »
Now that it has been three weeks since the launch of Phasr and just a few days since the blog has been up and running, I wanted to take a bit of time and let you know of a few plans I have for the coming year. If this were January 1st I would have posted this as our new years resolutions. But instead it’s a short list of plans I hope to accomplish this year. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello world is such a fitting title for this post. After only just under 2 weeks since the launch of Phasr, it’s already been a great time. I have some cool projects being worked on and some more in the ol’ think tank just waiting to be let loose.
I would like to encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed and even follow me on Twitter as those are the best ways to stay updated on all that Phasr is doing. I can’t wait for what’s in store, and I hope your ready for the ride.
