Can You Turn A Distraction Into A Motivator?

January 15, 2010

I found another one of those “obfuscated” scripts today while troubleshooting some stuff.

Why (and how) I Use My Own Link Shortening Script

January 14, 2010

I recently switched to the Thesis blog theme for all of my blogs. It’s a paid theme, but it’s easy to use, there’s lots of support and help for it, and I like the nice, clean look.
Even though I have the Developer version and am allowed to remove the attribution footer, I choose to leave [...]

The Nerve Of Some People!

New Decade? Not Quite So Fast!

January 1, 2010

Like me, you’ve undoubtedly seen many articles that are attempting to not only label the first decade of the 21st Century (I like “The Oughts” the best) — they are trying to wrap up and summarize the decade.
