I’m Marshall Oram. I build websites and the servers behind them. I’ve spent 18 years in web design and development, mostly WordPress, and I’d rather be making things than writing about them. Here’s some of what I’ve built, though it’s not really up to date.
Wondering why this site looks a little dated? It was hard to make, and it looked awesome at the time. Now it’s a time capsule, and I don’t care to change it.

Notes you can access from anywhere
May 12th, 2009 | Tags: iPhone, Mac, Notes, Software, Sync
I, like many, have spent several years trying to find a good way to create and access notes no matter where I am. In fact having notes and my calendar on my at all times is a driving factor in getting an iPhone. A couple of years ago Thrillist did a piece on an application called Evernote which I’ve been using ever since. It’s available on Mac, PC, iPhone, and now Blackberry.
It auto-magically sync’s your notes through a free account you can setup through their website. The … read more

Popular Mechanics recently released a list of 50 must have tools for handy(wo)man in all of us. I had to laugh and wasn’t at all surprised but I have all of them. Multiple in some cases.
