Purple Chicken Chilli

This is an advanced recipe and will take 18+ hours to make. Don’t try to rush it or take shortcuts. The chicken is purple and it is a real crowd pleaser. It has won one chili cook off out of the one chili cook off I’ve entered it in. I’m sure it would win more…»

Site Spotlight: Font Burner

Font Burner is a website that allows you to use your favorite fonts when designing a website. When building a website, designers are limited to a small list of fonts that most computers come installed with. Someone visiting your site needs to have the font you specify in order for them to see it, otherwize a…»

Where Am I Going With This

Buttonpresser is growing, both in theory and actuality, and no I am not referencing my waist. I have a unique view of how a design and development agency can be run. It’s based off of some cutting edge business practices and some other miscellaneous theories that have not been applied to a business model… yet.…»

Cloud Computing for Web 2.0 and Blogging

You’ve probably been hearing the term “Cloud Computing” a lot lately. For those of you who are not aware of what it is, let me explain. Cloud Computing is the idea that instead of having a consumer buy software for their computer, companies will create that software to work as a web application and then…»

5 Classical Picks For Modern Living

Lately I’ve been into classical music. Here are a couple songs that really calm me down. The first is from Aphex Twin, who does heavy experimental electronica usually. I have been a fan of his for a while but recently I attended the funeral of my friend Ryan Labadie and they used Avril 14th in…»

Micro Brews and You

I caught the micro brew bug a while back and lately it’s been getting the attention of my friends and fellow bar goers. Not in a bad way, people ask me what they should try next. I’ve been getting it right too. Often people feel overwhelmed when deciding about what libation to enjoy. There are…»

Comic Sans Is Dead

I just found this great font that plays off of the now defunct (well mostly anyway) Comic Sans. It’s called HVD Comic Serif Pro and I’d have to say it’s a pretty cheeky and intelligent font. While Comic Sans was like a scrap booking stay-at-home Mom, Comic Serif is like a grade school CEO. It…»

10 Things I Hate About “Millennials”

First of all, a millennial is the name of a generation, born between 1980 and 2000. There were other names for us you may have heard: the internet generation, the gameboy generation, the reboomers. Collectively we decided on millennials. I don’t hate Millennials, after all I am one, but we are flawed and I just…»

And He Paints Too!

My Mother and her Twin are both very talented artists. I grew up playing the doodle game in church which consisted of me being told what to doodle and then doing so. My mother would also doodle along with me and then we would compare and start over. Often the handouts would be completely overtaken…»

Welcome to Sworray

Sworray.com is a brainchild of mine. It started in January of this year (2009) after I attempted to throw a party and failed, again. I just could not throw a successful party. I feverishly went trough all the apps and whatnots that the social networking sphere had to offer and decided that they all had good…»
