I put together a nice 90′s playlist that will take you back. It is a work in progress and this playlist will automatically update as I make changes and add songs. There are so many good songs from the 90′s alternative era it is hard to find them all. Just reminds me of listening to Live 105 in the Bay Area and recording songs off the radio onto Cassette tape. If I missing any of your favorites or think I should add some just dump it in the comments box below and I will add it. Enjoy!

July 15th, 2010Claim your Custom Facebook URL
July 15th, 2010Here is short and sweet post for you to chew on. In Facebook we are all familiar with the crazy urls they assign your profile. They are long, full of numbers and just plain intimidating. Here is an example of Facebook urls vs. Twitter:
Twitter: http://twitter.com/moorewebx
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Portland-OR/Moore-Web-Exposure/102792494795
Finally, Facebook has come along and given us a way to change these long urls to something a little more managable and aesthetic. You can do this for both your personal profile and for your Facebook Page.
To start, make sure you are logged into your Facebook account. Once logged in click on the following link or simply type it into your browser.
http://www.facebook.com/username/
If logged in, this should take you to a page that gives you an option to create a shorter profile url. Follow the simple instructions and you are done!
Things to note: Once you change your url you are stuck with it so make sure you change it to something you will like forever. Also, in order to change your Facebook Page urls you must have at least 25 fans who “like” your page. If you don’t have 25 people who like your page you cannot change your url.
So now let’s look at my page’s new url compared to the old one:
Old url: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Portland-OR/Moore-Web-Exposure/102792494795
New url: http://www.facebook.com/moorewebexposure
Much Better! Comments or suggestions? By all means leave ‘em below.

July 13th, 2010Website Completed: Buss Precision Mold
June 16th, 2010
I just wrapped up a long running project with Buss Precision Mold, a Clackamas based injection mold company. Buss Precision Mold came to me in dire need of a new website. Their old site not only was outdated but was for the most part non-functional with broken links and numerous other problems. The minimum requirements for their new site included a news page they could update themselves, several galleries showcasing their work and a scrolling sideshow controlled by mouse movements on the home page. To check out the site visit http://www.bussmold.com
Mount Hood Skiway – 1956 News Reel
June 7th, 2010This is a newsreel I found on Mount Hood. It is from 1956 and features the Mount Hood Skiway which at the time was the worlds longest tram. It was built from old city buses and used a cable system that was developed by timber loggers in Oregon that ran from Government Camp to Timberline Lodge. The Tram opened on February 3rd, 1951 but only lasted a few seasons as it turned into a financial disaster. In 1961 the cable system and tramway was permanently removed from the slopes of Mount Hood. Enjoy!
