I told myself I was going to hold out for generation 2 of the iPad. Last Saturday I went into the Apple Store to see what all the fuss was about. I wanted to hold the mighty iPad, see how it worked compared to my iPhone. I knew better when I did this, but I asked one of the Apple reps if they had any left.

When creating a user interface, using familiar objects is important. We aren’t trying to recreate the wheel after all. In your creations, you might find yourself in a position to use a <select> menu form element to allow your user to “jump” to different areas of an application, or to securely send them to a page with a different query executed without having to directly pass the variables through the form.

If you make websites, or do anything creative on the web, you should take the 2009 survey for people who make websites (sounds like the school for kids who don’t read good) over at A List Apart.
The survey is a collective effort to see where our profession is going and is done yearly. It takes five minutes, do it instead of playing on facebook. [Take the Survey]
McNabb & Co Realty is helping to bring a few smiles to the faces of San Marcos children this holiday. This holiday season you can donate a new, unwrapped toy to place under the tree in Harper’s Public House (directions). The toy drive is going on until the 18th of December, so you still have plenty of time to donate. What’s in it for you? If helping under privileged children wasn’t enough for you, you’ll also get a cocktail on the house when you donate. Everyone wins!
The McNabb-Shy Toy drive is sponsored by Harpers Public House, Billy McNabb, Attorney at Law, J’s Bistro, McNabb & Co Realty, and of course, J Ortega Group (our previous company name) and is featured on Newsstreamz.com

Our good friends over at ITEC Drywall are throwing a fund raiser to help benefit the people of Honduras. This is the second fundraiser they have thrown to help out. Last year, they were able to raise enough money to help two La Ceiba area rest homes and to donate several baskets of food and staples to help keep their homes clean and sanitary.
This year they are hoping to raise the bar and not only help a larger number of families and rest homes, but to donate money, food and supplies to area orphanages.
To give you all perspective on how much your donation will mean, $90 will feed a family of 6 for a month. As you can see, every little bit can mean a lot.
If you should feel inclined to donate to the Helping Honduras cause, you can do so via Paypal or by mail:
Paul Isaacks
C/O ITEC Drywall
6001 E Hwy 84
Gatesville, TX 76528
You can also call in your pledge for a later date at (254) 865-0152 or email it directly to donate@itecdrywall.com. Feel free to pass on the official flyer for the cause via email or social networks. [Helping Honduras via ITEC Drywall]
