Just Born: J. David Wicker Law

J. David Wicker is a Nashville-based attorney, focusing on criminal defense and domestic law. Mr. Wicker wanted a website that would highlight his experience and his passion for the law.

From the website:

David Wicker is committed to fighting for you and protecting your rights and interests. Mr. Wicker is equally committed to providing client-centered service. The majority of his clients come to him through referrals from past and current clients, friends, and associates because of his dedication to his clients and his determination to provide superior representation to the residents of Tennessee.

We found Mr. Wicker to be a particularly easy client to work with.  We also enjoyed creating a unique look and feel (for us) that incorporated his likeness into an understated, yet classy design.

We hope you’ll check out his site when you have the time at JDavidWicker.com.

Firefox 3 Is Out & It’s The Best Firefo...

Firefox 3 is the best Firefox yet

There’s a growing number of web users who turn to Mozilla’s Firefox browser for their surfing needs.  Each year, Firefox gains little bits of market share on Internet Explorer (Microsoft’s King of Browsers).

There are four of us here in the Keystone office that are total Firefox disciples (and three more who, sadly, insist on sticking with IE).  Firefox has built its niche on being a faster, more secure browsing experience–oh, and they invented the whole “tabbed browsing” thing that IE and Safari and everyone else has since copied.

Well, last week saw the release of Firefox 3, the newest release, and I’m pretty pleased to tell you that it’s the best Firefox yet.  There are, according to Mozilla, over 15,000 improvements in this new version.  Many of the things you’ll notice are aesthetic:  the back button is a bit bigger, the tabs scroll and animate during browsing in a very slick manner, etc.  There’s also a new address bar that Firefox calls the Awesome Bar.  It’s supposedly better at predicting what you’re trying to type so you can get to your preferred destination even more quickly.  And, as usual, there have been some security updates that make Firefox’s already safe experience even safer.

But here’s the real reason you should go download and install Firefox 3:  It is fast!  Lightning fast.  Noticeably faster than Firefox 2, and light years faster than IE.  For me… that alone was reason to upgrade.

So if you’re a Firefox user, but you either hadn’t heard there was a new version, or you were holding out until it was verified as a quality version… wait no more.  Head over to Mozilla’s site and grab a copy of Firefox 3 for yourself today. You won’t regret it.

Screen Savers Are So Last Year

Looks like we can add screen savers to the list of things we have and use that are completely unnecessary (like butlers or… your appendix).

See, just a few years back, the average computer screen used phosphors, which might suffer from “burn-in”, where images left on screen for too long would burn into the screen forever.   That’s why screen savers like the flying star field or the flying toasters were invented (why were early screen saver designers obsessed with flying things?)

But today’s flat-screen LCD monitors are made with completely different materials and “burn-in” is officially no longer a concern.

Yet people still use screen savers as though their life (or the life of their computer) depended on it.  This guy suggests that if you simply turn your monitor off when it’s not in use, instead of using a screen saver, you’ll save energy.  If everyone in your company does it… that energy savings might actually show up on the bottom line (depending on how many people work for you).

Even if you’re not concerned about saving energy, you can still deactivate your screen saver.  It’s not saving anything, preventing anything, or protecting anything.  It’s just… there.
