Drupal and Masonry, without the tears of Frustration
I recently had to create a new layout that mimicked the Pinterest layout. Masonry to the rescue! (sorta…) With Drupal already crapping out the content via views, we could just use the Masonry views plugin, right? Sorta. Well, it worked. … sorta. There were problems, and I don’t like problems, only solutions. I like a […]
Meet the Interns: Jordan Meier
Recently, Cheeky Monkey Media selected two interns from the Epicodus Drupal Development Track. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Epicodus, it is “a vocational school for aspiring programmers” based in Portland, Oregon. After what seemed like weeks of listening to Gene and Rick interview potential interviews, where they asked them, along with a […]
Is your Website Causing you to miss out on Funding?
Money, something that is not at the forefront for not-for-profits, but is something that is always in the background. This is especially true when you don’t have enough of it to start that new initiative. You know the one with the delayed launch. Ya, that one. It’s okay, the economy is still tough and grants […]

My First DrupalCon – DrupalCon 2016 (New Orleans)
The Design Factor DrupalCon was an amazing sight to behold in person.

Everything my eyes fell […]
Have web professionals lost sight of the big picture?
You know that feeling in your stomach you get when things go awry? That sinking feeling? When I think about the current state of web technologies, I get that feeling. I can’t help but think, that as web professionals, we have created a pandora’s box. That somehow, without intending it, we have led the world […]
