@BenBrocka That's pretty good, yes. I really don't have any time myself to put the work in to be a viable blogger sadly. That's not to say I won't contribute anything, but I just can't commit to anything regular (or even semi-regular).
Yeah, the biggest barrier to something like this is always going to be commitments. I'm guessing that most of us have jobs and other things going on in real life.

I'm undecided if it's a security thing or purely company requirement. Perhaps it's to serve as proof they actually showed up for work that day and didn't get taken hostage on the way past the front door.

@BenBrocka Yeah, I wasn't sure about that one. He doesn't seem affiliated with the link, and it does sort of enhance the answer, but does make the answer more off-topic.
Really impressed with the new update for Bump iOS app. You can bump photo's from your iphone direct to your PC, no extra software needed on PC, just an internet connection.
@BenBrocka @StevenJeuris I'm in doubt as well, and when I'm in doubt I don't cast close votes. This is close to "Example of" question, but not really. Let's see what answer we get on this...
Over the years of surfing on the web I have found numerous examples of people telling to not use the word "here" in a textlink. Personally I like the idea of using the word, because it is so straightforward for your visitors to know where to click.

This should be interesting. My company finally hired a UX architect (they were looking for someone with like 6 years experience, so I was out automatically, sadly). Should be interesting to see his perspectives...
@GotDibbs darn years of experience. None of these job listings seem to want a 22 year old with one year's experience as a programmer. Plus none of them are in this state
@BenBrocka I'm still hoping to be able to help off load some of the work the new UX guy will be tackling and thus gain a bit more hands-on experience. But yeah, nobody here wants a 25 year old with 2 years experience as a developer/consultant either.
@BenBrocka that's exactly the way I feel. I love my job and the environment bow, but it's just not exactly fulfilling as it could be because dev isn't my passion.
