The “We’re 18 months into a 2-month project” joke was getting old. So, here it is, the new wavemotiondigital.com, or, as it is now known, wmd.dev. This new site could not have been created without the wonderful WMD support crew and all of our clients. For the longest time we never focused on our own […]
Stating the obvious: You Can’t Trust Google
We have long preached about Google being a privacy vampire, finding any little way possible to monetize on every click you make. Why do you think so many of their services are “free” as in “cost no money”? Everything you put into Google is stored and your profile information is sold to whomever bids on […]
Connecting two domains in Zimbra for chat/autocomplete
We ran into a unique case recently where a client needed to connect two domains so they were essentially on the same domain. Let’s say one domain was DOMAIN_B.DEV and the other was DOMAIN_A.COM.

Let’s talk about Real-Time-Bidding, also known […]
WMD Password Generator
A new tool has been rolled out on the WMD.dev site: our password generator. This new tool was built based on a bit of need and a lot of laziness in that there is a daily need for a secure password but it can be a pain to find something that doesn’t make you create […]
If you care the slightest about your privacy then stop using Chrome
…or any Google product for that matter. We preach the importance of protecting your online privacy. We also realize there is a balance to be had between that privacy and the convenience offered by online services. Wired recently posted the article “It’s time to ditch Chrome” and (despite their ironic insistence of accepting their cookies) […]
