Devlounge have been acquired by Splashpress Media - here’s the official announcement about the deal. As you might now, AJ’s been wanting to sell Devlounge for some time, and hopefully this will be a match made in heaven. Details and more in the announcement post!

Just a quick side note for everyone on this wonderful weekend. You may remember Iconsushi, a site I briefly talked about in Friday Focus two weeks ago. It’s my friend Prash’s (who helped create Devlounge with me) newest creation. It is now officially open for business, with two icon sets available for purchase. He’s hooking [...]

Mintpages, the private designer and developer forum community that is soon to turn a year old launched a new forum skin today after being stuck with Vbulletin's default skin the past few months while the new one was put together. If you've been a frequent reader here, you know I've mentioned Mintpages multiple times, and [...]

One of the side projects I've been working on of late is helping Keith Dsouza automate a plugin to automatically upgrade your WordPress installations.
