From the Ground Up

Just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a happy and healthy 2012 – I have some new projects in the works, so new posts are on the horizon. Stay tuned!

The other day, one of my friend’s showed me the blog he had been working on for one of his classes during the past semester. One of the posts explained how to enable the new Google Bar, but was strictly tailored to Google Chrome. After a quick search, I found the necessary plugin for Firefox [...]
