TL;DR (If you want the punchline of this article) – If you use WooCommerce or EDD, sign up for Jilt to fix cart abandonment — implement it in 10 minutes. I’ve been playing with WooCommerce on GoDaddy Managed WordPress lately and recently started thinking a lot about cart abandonment. Mine isn’t high by quantity of abandons, but […]
I’ve recently been working on a project that requires the import of data from a CSV sheet to ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) values for a CPT (custom post type). It’s been a frustratingly long journey, so I thought I’d share to make your life a bit easier. In theory, it’s a super straightforward process, but […]
If you’re looking for places to eat in Austin (especially if you’re headed out for SXSW, F1, iHeart Radio, ACL, etc), take a sip of your coffee and start-a-clickin’. I’ve lived in Austin for over 3 year, and have put together a list of some of my favorite spots. Skip the touristy places to eat […]
There are so many attributes of a place that can’t be seen from an airplane. The way the mountains majestically encircle the city. The desperation of the homeless begging for food near an upscale restaurant. Moss growing fat on a snowy mountain trail. The life-cycle of brine flies. Natural soft water in the morning. Living […]
The inside of my nostrils were stained with the smell of fresh paint. The work of the day was done, and a quick sightseeing trip was in order after a day caged in the confines of newly sanded and painted walls (we were doing the painting). It’s funny how when you’re not looking for something, […]

When I first started creating WordPress websites… …I was just happy to be able to offer my clients an admin area, and visitors a consistent navigation and theme. Ten years ago, security, disaster recovery, redundancy, performance, and scaleability were things I thought about (that hasn’t changed), but modifications to address those issues weren’t easy to […]
It was a surreal afternoon at the Raleigh-Durham airport today. I arrived for my flight a little earlier than normal to get a bite to eat. My Uber driver was diverted by police to the lower arrivals area. When I stepped out of the car, I could hear the methodical protests of crowds on the […]
On a cool December day in 2014, I did a quick search to find hiking trails within 5-10 miles of where I live in Texas. Since new experiences often take a little extra time, I had planned to be gone for a few hours. I figured I’d take a break, do some hiking, and work […]
