Walt Shaefer
August 14th, 2009
MatthewI have known Walt Schaefer (waltswebworx.com ) for a few years. I always enjoyed talking with him. It is very rare for competitors to talk on the phone as often and Walt and I. Walt and I would exchange stories and express our frustration and enjoy each other’s laughter. We I always got along and saw eye to eye. He was a very knowledgeable man. He Knew web design very well and always cared about his client’s needs and concerns. He pushed himself to the limits with his designs and programming capabilities. I will really miss Walt. He was a great business owner, web designer and a good friend.
May God bless Walt and his family.

Jimmy Kimmel Live
December 16th, 2008
MatthewYesterday was a strange and exciting day. I went to the taping of the Jimmy Kimmel show because the cure was playing on the show and were scheduled to also play a free concert. Thanks to my new bff Cliff. I got tickets to both the show and the green room. Robert Smith was not having a good day so I did not bug him as much as I have in the past. In fact I only took four pictures of them. Two of them while they were playing. Below are pictures of the taping of both jimmy kimmel and the cure live.

Back From Hawaii
December 2nd, 2008
MatthewI just got back from vacation and I wanted to share a few pictures with you. This time around was about celebrities, the yard house happy hour, and snorkelling. We came across another filming location of Lost at the tropical farms macadamia nut farm. This is their submarine at the ponds dock.
We happened to run into John Locke ( Terry O’Quinn )at Teds Bakery near sunset beach. He was getting coffee and was on a morning walk. He is a very nice guy.
We also drove by Dog the Bounty Hunters Office as they were filming. I decided to wait an hour to get a family picture with Dog and his sweet mullet for our Christmas Card but he was too cool for us. The entire cast of their show seemed liked they were to be busy for us little people. I was disappointed but maybe next year. I did take a picture of Tanner ( my oldest ) in front of their office.
The other famous sighting was Wally Amos ( famous amos ) he was having a meeting outside of a coffee house in Waikiki. I did not take a picture because my wife said I was the biggest nerd alive because I wanted a picture with the “cookie guy”. So I had to prove to her that I was not that nerdy.
Google Chrome
October 2nd, 2008
MatthewAfter years of mounting speculations, Google has finally entered the browser war by releasing Google Chrome - a browser that combines minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web faster, safer and easier. Google Chrome which is still in beta is currently only available for Windows and a Mac version will be released within the next few months.
Google Chrome has received lots of attention in the Web design and development industry. It has become yet another browser for us to test our sites in, but given that it is based on the Webkit engine (same rendering engine used by Safari), most compliant sites will render perfectly. There are also several developer tools included in Google Chrome like the Web Inspector that allows you to view DOM elements and the JavaScript Debugger. If you are a Web designer or developer, it is worth checking Chrome’s FAQ for web developers.
It is still too early to forecast what share Google Chrome will have on the browser market, but statistics so far shows that it has been embraced by tech-savvy users only.
