Sorry, but I had to post this:

I am back from my Florida Keys Vacation with the family and ready to get back to my usual! Posts to come include posts on: Technical Debt, Cloud Hosting and Zend Framework.

Can’t to write them and put them out there. Also can’t wait to post pictures from the vacation and post some pretty cool stories!

I have been asked numerous times how after a person posts a comment on my blog, do I have a profile picture for them. If you are really into social media or blogs you probably already know the answer, but if you don’t, I will be glad to explain it to you.

The answer is a service called Gravatar or a “globally recognized avatar”. It is a service that allows you to associate an image of yourself (or anything else for that matter) to your email address (or multiples). So when a site like mine sees your email address on a comment we can get your current image from Gravatar.

Gravatar was created by the fine people at Automattic who also contribute to Wordpress (the greatest blog engine, ever!)

So if you are into social media, or even if you are not, go ahead and sign up for Gravatar and make sure that your profile images are your own.

As I am growing weary of Sprint and their lack of customer support, and the lack of speed my Blackberry Curve 8330 produces, I am now in search for a new cell phone. I really want an iPhone, but that would involve breaking my contract with Sprint (at a cost) and moving to AT&T. So I have a poll here with two phones from Sprint and the iPhone from AT&T. Help me decide which one to get. Please also comment with opinions on customer service, reception in the Central Florida area, pricing, etc.
