I'm a design student in Denver, CO and a professional blogger for Weblogs, Inc. I primarily blog for TUAW.com and DownloadSquad.com, and I'm working on launching a graphic, image, web and motion portfolio at my personal freelancing site, dcharti.com, soon. I'm interested in human beings and being human, and when not doing any of the stuff I mentioned in the first paragraph, you can find me making music (guitar, bass, vocal), snowboarding, on a mountain bike, or spending quality time with the loveliest woman in the world: my wife.

Gadgets & Tech – Google's been stepping up their efforts to identify and disable spam blogs. But either the company is being a bit too aggressive, or the folks working on this particular blog need to pay better attention to their inbox.

While that's a positive thing in the name of choice and the triumph of good software, Firefox has quite possibly made a negative impact on the development of web sites and software when viewed in the context of accessibility."

Gadgets & Tech – "In all likelihood, if you aren't sharing your personally identifiable files over P2P networks, you don't have anything to worry about, and an email address is the last thing you have to fret over if someone steals your iPod.
