Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I’ve been looking at buying a tablet for a looong time now, but couldn’t find any suitable to the iPad. The internal debate finally came down to two options: iPad2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an avid apple user when it comes to productivity.

QR Codes making their way to San Diego
Well, here it is folks. QR codes have made their way into mainstream marketing campaigns on the West Coast. I snapped this photo at the Food Court of the Fashion Valley Mall in Mission Valley (San Diego), California. Every table-top, dozens, were adorned with a Kaiser Permanente ad, each with a QR code to scan for more info. Taking a cue from Japanese marketing trends, QR Codes are the next mobile phenomena to hit the US.

QR Code Craziness – The Norm in Japanese Marketing
QR Codes: Many here in the US have noticed those little black and white pixelated squares popping up more and more.
I recently returned from a visit to Japan, where QR codes are commonplace. [Skip to photos] Appearing in nearly every marketing medium – outdoor, print, packaging, web, television – the codes have been widely used for at least the past three years in Japanese markets.

Check out my new one-page web design portfolio
Yeah Yeah, I’m a big Joomla and WordPress guy. But sometimes I just get this urge to design & spew out raw html unbound by a cms (excuse me for any weird visuals that statement might’ve conjured up).
Anyway, It’s rare these days that I get an opportunity to work on my own projects. So, in the spirit of keeping things simple, I whipped a new one-page portfolio called Greenwald.me
Following the trend of one-page portfolio sites out there, the point is to quickly showcase who I am and the web design & marketing work I’ve done, period. The site’s already gotten some good feedback, and even helped me attract some new clients.
It was nice working outside of a CMS for a change, and getting back to my hand coding roots. The page consists of my signature XHTML & CSS2 techniques with some cool JQuery effects thrown in. And, I’ve been waiting for a chance to put my new .me domain name to good use.
So stop reading this and check out my new portfolio at Greenwald.ME

Joomla Extensions as a Disguise for Hackers
One of my Joomla sites was hacked into twice in the past couple months and used to exploit an illegal file-download site. The first time, the hackers managed to change the index.php page, but left no signs of any real damage… so I thought. Luckily, I had a backup of the file on my local machine. After days spent thinking of reasons why the only thing they did was change my home page, and not finding any other damage, I just chalked it up to a bad hack job.

Found Spanish Art
Ahh, it’s good to be back. Just returned from an amazing vacation in Spain, with hundreds of photos of ancient architecture and picturesque landscapes in hand. I’ll spare you from the slide show, you can visit me on facebook if you’re really interested.
What caught my eye most were these mysterious murals I stumbled across while visiting friends in the city of Valencia. This is true modern art. The artists, meaning and movement unknown, it was exciting to experience these modern masterpieces canvassing the walls of buildings dating back to the middle ages and earlier. The haunting, morbid themes left me puzzled at what the true meanings could be, but hey, that’s art.
