PHP Date Time Picker

I found this code that is FREE, but have used it a couple of times in applications where the date is to be asked.  I am adding it to the blog here so that we can have access to it if we need to go back and reference some information.

The calendar component written in php script. It contains 2 modes: normal display calendar and date picker.

This is really a great utility and has worked very well.

Dimensions for Facebook Images

With Facebook forcing everyone one including business fan pages to go to the new timeline, there are some advantages.

One of these advantages is that you customize several of the images on the timeline.

I am often looking this information up, so I thought it would be helpful to me (as well as others) to do a post with the dimensions of the images that are used on the new Facebook Timeline.

• Cover Image:  851 X 315
• Profile Picture: 180 X 180
• Custom Thumbnails: 111 X 74

Are business cards a sign of the times?

The 2-by-3.5-inch pieces of card stock have long been a staple in business, but in the digital world they are seen as irrelevant and wasteful says Matt Stevens, from the Los Angeles Times.

Young web savvy business executives are viewing business cards as being somewhat a waste of time.  If you have a smart phone, e-mail, and a LinkedIn account, why even bother carrying them.

About 85 million people manage their professional networks with LinkedIn. Some 77 million smartphone users have downloaded the Bump app, which allows them to bump their phones together and instantly exchange contact information.
