Latest Give Back Cincinnati Event!

Here are pictures from the latest GBC event I participated in. The organization helped clean up and paint different businesses and public places around the Norwood's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwood,_Ohio) business district. The pictures below are from the public pool that is on Montgomery road.

Give Back Cincinnati is a great organization that provides opportunity for young professionals to give back (pun intended) to the community. You can volunteer anytime with no pressure. Its all up to you.

Windows Without Walls

The new Microsoft commercials are out and I for one love them. I like how Microsoft defends the PC but does not attack Apple directly. Do unto others as you have others do unto you, or something like that right? Apple makes PCs look boring, limiting, and flat out stupid. We all know that’s not true. You can do a lot with a PC. Heck, I do a lot with my PC every day.

I blog, email, watch videos, organize my pictures and music, pay my bills, and program and design web sites. My world connected by bits and bytes are not limited because I don't use an Apple. Apple is a sexier machine then a PC right now. I admit it; they do look better. That's not Microsoft's fault. Tell DELL or HP or any PC manufacturer to tell their suppliers to make sexy PC cases and laptop shells. That might make PC lose its stuffy shirt and tie! I ofter hear, "Apple's just works better." That maybe true too but they do not have every hardware vendor in the work running on their operating system. Apple also doesn't have every hacker in the world trying to break it. Come on; you got to give Microsoft a little credit.

Anywho, PC and Microsoft and synonyms and if one sucks so does the other. Let’s hope change can happen and they both become better. At least the commercials are good!

Just watch it!!!

Role Based Security for ASP.NET Content Management

I found this article from the ASP.NET Daily Article blog and posting it on my site. Its a great solution for web application security down to the page element level. Please read!!!

"Designing a web based Information Management System poses a lot of challenges to developers. One of these challenges is how to provide the proper security to different users with different access to an application. Often times certain users will be allowed to update specific fields while others can only view them. It is essential to design for adequate security features in the presentation layer of your application."

I am sooooo happy. It took about 3 weeks for this to happen.


Just needed to get that out there!


Sorry for the useless post.
