How Sticky Is Your Website?
Published on 2012-03-27 13:07:07
Peanut butter sticky, bubble gum sticky, or super glue sticky? Your friend sends you an email telling you that you HAVE to check out this new website. You click on the link and you are hooked. Maybe the site is filled with hilarious videos, a game that you are immediately addicted to, or articles on topics you care about. Whatever the content, you have fallen prey to a sticky website. It’s not a bad thing (unless you happen to be at work, or the dog needs to go out). Sticky websites are among [..] > read more
Are You Losing Online Customers To Gender Bias?
Published on 2012-03-20 14:58:15
Your business website is the online face of your company, and just as you would scrutinize the color, decoration and signage of your brick and mortar store, you need to be aware of the unconscious messages your website may be sending. Gender bias is just one aspect to keep in mind*. It can creep into your website and impact on how new visitors perceive your business, whether they move further into your site, sign up for your newsletter, or even make a purchase. > read more
Protect The World From Huge Files: Compress
Published on 2012-02-21 12:35:26
A Quick Overview of File Compression Have you ever tried to email a HUGE file to a friend or coworker only to have your email and, even worse, their email crash? That’s because large files require a lot of bandwidth (space) to move through the email communications tunnel. The more massive the file, the slower it goes, the fewer other email messages that can get through at the same time, and the higher the likelihood that your fat file (it’s just big boned!) is going to get stuck, blocking yo [..] > read more
What Does Your Company Have To Say For Itself?
Published on 2012-02-16 20:24:31
The Importance of Defining Your Brand One of the first things I want to know when I sit down to consult about creating a new business website is the company’s brand. It’s amazing how many times this request only elicits a raised eyebrow. If I asked you, “Who are you? What are you all about? What are your passions?” you could probably spend the next couple of hours explaining your personality to me in detail. You should be able to do the same thing about your business. > read more
Cars: Technology Today and Tomorrow
Published on 2012-01-02 19:45:05
Technology is all around us, in our refrigerators, our shoes, even our bodies (still waiting for an artificial brain, btw). The products we use and the world we know are constantly changing and innovating. Our cars are a prime example of technological innovation at work. An automobile is pretty simple as a concept. You push the pedal, it goes. You hit the brake, it (hopefully) stops. You turn the wheel, the car turns, and so on. Inside that hulk of metal, however, there’s a lot going on. > read more
Beyond The Price Tag
Published on 2011-12-19 16:02:48
I’ve been thinking about and planning this post for some time, because this topic is near and dear to my heart. In our busy, crazy, bumbling lives, we tend to take little mental shortcuts to try and keep the noise down. One convenient shortcut that I think hurts a lot of people in the long run is the tendency to make purchasing decisions based primarily on price without acknowledging or considering the intangibles offered by the different options. Perhaps an example is in order. kRemtronicz of [..] > read more

Kremtronicz Top Ten Favorite Android Apps – Part One
Published on 2011-12-05 17:40:57
Apps were recently gifted unto the human race by the gods of technology to make our lives easier. I have no idea what we did to deserve apps, but I’m sure not giving them back now that we’ve got them. In case you’re just waking up to the wonderment of the app world, or, you know, are randomly interested in my choice of apps, I will be listing my top ten favorite apps for the Android platform (Apple can wait its turn) in two posts. > read more
Is Twitter Overrated?
Published on 2011-11-28 12:28:40
Now before you go and scream “YES!” at the top of your lungs, let me give you my opinion on the matter: Yes. But with caveats. I think Twitter is highly overrated for a large majority of the population. The truth is that most of us are just not interesting enough or clever enough to justify posting regular 140-character updates about our lives. I’m sorry to break this to you, but I don’t really care what you had for lunch, or that you are stuck in traffic, or that it’s cold in Minnesot [..] > read more
The Kindle Fire Predicament
Published on 2011-11-08 14:18:22
I have recently found myself in a bit of an emotional holdup; replace the screen on my Asus EEE netbook or purchase a Kindle Fire when they are released on November 15. No, iPad 2 just isn't an option for two primary reasons: 1. the cost is ridiculous for what it does (or doesn't do) and 2. refer to 1. As a writer, productivity is my main concern in this decision. However, as a consumer, entertainment and sex appeal are psychologically out of my control, thereby allowing me to justify [..] > read more
Seabird - A Mozilla Labs' Mobile Concept
Published on 2010-10-15 16:04:08
A few days ago my brother shared a link that, as he well thought, was going to catch my attention--and oh boy, it did! For those tech lovers out there like us it is simply amazing, even for just a concept. So here it is: a Mozilla Labs (a division of Mozilla, the company responsible for Firefox and Thunderbird), "community-driven mobile concept," as originally titled by the Mozilla Labs' director, Pascal Finette. It is so good I believe you have never seen anything like this out there; not even [..] > read more
How to Clean Your Browser Cache the Easy Way
Published on 2010-10-04 16:50:49
I work with a lot of clients on a daily basis and customer service and attention to detail are key components of the success of our company. While working on a website, changes usually don't take place until the cache is cleaned up. For example, if an image is uploaded and inserted on a blog post from last month, and the cache settings are in place, it is likely that until the cache is cleaned up the image will not show up. Why? Well, in simple terms the cache works as a hidden storage place for [..] > read more
