Happy Independence Day

Just wanted to take a real quick moment to say happy 4th of July. Hope you're having as much fun with friends and family as we are! Daily posts on Keefer Madness to resume [...]

I'm Back

Sadly, there's been a bit of a lull in new content on the ol' Keefer Madness blog. Sorry about that. Life and work have gotten in the way. Also coinciding with this lull is the fact that the way I aggregate new posts to my social networking accounts — twitterfeed.com, stopped working (had to reauthenticate all [...]

Eight Habits of Highly Effective Bloggers

Here's a great list of eight tips/habits consistently found across successful bloggers out there, which helps if you're a seasoned blogger, new to the game, or starting your fifth blog (what's up, John?) I do a lot of these eight — but not consistently. The big one that I don't do well is focusing on a [...]

Life Keeps Getting in the Way

So with the birth of Tyler seven weeks ago and then Amanda's two subsequent surgeries, it's been difficult to get into the old routine, or even establish a new routine.

We're still not there yet. Amanda's two surgeries were pretty damn scary, but in the last two weeks she's made a wonderful recovery. But then this afternoon, [...]

Facelift for Keefer Madness

Don't adjust your browser. Keefer Madness has just begun the process of being revamping its look. For work, I was trying to dive deep into a WordPress theme we're looking at using for a base install for clients. So what better way to play around with something than use it on a real WP install? Seeing [...]

Tailgate Approved

I made a post yesterday but the thing never made it to the site, nor is it showing up in my drafts. That will teach me not to check my web site after hitting the publish button. So anyway, I'm reposting this from memory and post-dating it.

Watching football, we saw a funny Bud Light ad tying [...]

Keefer Madness is Back Fully After Word Press 2.8 Hiccup

So like my friend, John I too tried the upgrade to 2.8 and had an incomplete/successful install of WordPress 2.8 today. I should have learned from his hardship with the new version.

All day today, I was unable to get into the admin tool, and all of the plugins sat disabled, giving me a glimpse of how [...]

New Blog Focused on Our Future Little One

So Amanda made the suggestion yesterday morning that we create a little blog separate from Keefer Madness' catch-all. Instead, this one is is all about our little expectant baby. I’m certainly not going to stop blogging here at Keefer Madness, but expect more baby-related posts from both of us over on the new blog now and [...]

Sick as a Dog

Sorry for no post yesterday, and none of substance today. I don't get sick often, but this attack of the flu is/was a doozey. I can't remember feeling this crappy years! Anyway hopefully back to the grind and regular posting tomorrow. [...]

iPhone Apps Part II Coming Soon

So I'm out of town this weekend, relaxing. But what that means is part two of my iPhone apps writeup is going to be delayed for all the reasons/limitations I wrote about regarding the WordPress app – I have a draft on the site, but this app can only see local drafts. I also have no [...]
