I swore to myself: no more political posts. I’m not sure if I’m breaking that today or not. I really feel that this is more of a last ditch attempt to speak up for Democracy. I’m running scared. Today is the stark realization that a significant portion of the country could [...]

The coolest PHP plugin ever
Okay, maybe I’m overdoing it a bit. It depends. Have you ever needed to pull complex data from a media file? Maybe the ID3 data? Maybe the width and height so you can display the object properly?
A study recently published by Science Daily states that moderate drinkers, those who average around a drink per day, are 54% less likely to be obese. They go on to state that that is counter-intuitive. Bah.
So much of what I see around me can be explained by common sense without the need for [...]

I live in Texas though, and it is a sad day for liberals in Texas. [...]

So, Redskins were shutout. I believe it was only the [...]
No Time
OK, looks like the entire Republican party will soon be behind bars. My prediction about the Redskins last week was close, but no cigar. Better luck this week. Very, very busy with my business for the next few weeks. Probably won’t be posting. Sorry.
