DBUG meeting recap: What I wish I knew when becoming a Drupal freelancer
Friday Jan. 27, 2012 - 11:11 am
I was the "main" presenter at Tuesday night's Denver/Boulder Drupal User Group meetup, speaking on the things I wish I had known when starting work as a full-time Drupal freelancer.
Jason Yee at Aten Design Group has a recap of the conversation on their blog. I'll try to remember to update this post with the video archive when it's posted over at Denver Open Media.
Drupal cheat sheet: Load up .info files for modified features
Wednesday Jan. 11, 2012 - 5:05 pm
I often use drush fua to update existing site features on my development server. While it's a great shortcut to update the features' content, version numbers aren't automatically incremented. There's a ticket on Drupal.org proposing this feature, but as usual things got complicated.
For my benefit (and perhaps yours) here's my quick-and-dirty way of loading up the changed .info files into my favorite X editor, Komodo.
git status -s | grep .info | awk '{print $2}' | xargs komodoBrad on 600 KCOL this Friday, all next week

Tune in to 600 KCOL (Loveland/Greeley/Ft. Collins) this Friday and all next week as I fill in for morning show host Al Malmberg. The show runs 6-10 am and you can tune in over-the-air or online at 600kcol.com.
I'm always open to ideas for guests and topics, so shoot me an e-mail (contact tab - above) and help me fill in the schedule.
Hancock was right on 300, but still doesn't get it
Wednesday Nov. 2, 2011 - 9:09 am
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock was right to campaign against Initiative 300, the "sick time" mandate on private employers that was walloped last night by voters. But despite being right in his opposition, he's playing the go-along-get-along card with the initiative's kooky backers.
Case in point, from today's Denver Post:
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said: "I hope they give consideration to looking at this on a statewide basis. That's really where it belongs."

Frustrating lies from the White House
Tuesday Oct. 4, 2011 - 5:05 pm
From the White House's home page for the "American Jobs Act," a.k.a. Stimulus 2.0:
The President’s plan will expand the payroll tax cut passed last year to cut workers payroll taxes in half in 2012 – providing a $1,500 tax cut to the typical American family, without negatively impacting the Social Security Trust Fund.
