… for the title of ugliest website in the world? This is just phenomenal. You gotta love those bouncing headlines. Scariest part is that this is an official government website. Amazing. I bow my head to the designers — them's some serious skillz.

Oh, boy. I love my iPod, it makes endless miles of running bearable, and it’s just a nice, sexy little gadget. Recently, my old Nano 2G died, and because Apple evidently felt the need to change a winning thing, I had to get a Gen 3 to replace it. The new shape doesn’t do it…
Leaf Peepers 2007 in Stowe is perhaps the best possible setting for a personal best at a half-marathon. A beautiful out-and-back course, partly on gravel, great time of year: not too warm, not too cold, peak fitness, well organized event… And so, I did. 1:35:07 is a pretty good time for a guy who only…
Whee. The Democratic contenders for the throne came and went last night; Dartmouth College — in all its Ivy aloofness — played host to the debate between all eight (quick! name ’em all… I dare you).

A particularly wonderful snapshot of the insane world of organized religion as seen thru the eyes of a 10-year old. As far as I’m concerned, speaking in tongues is really no less outrageous and ridiculous than belief in any of the other complete hooey served up under the guise of “faith.” Thus, I don’t think…
I've worked with Coldfusion for close to a decade now; wild, wonderful ride it has been — from the original Allaire product, thru the bumpy ride with Macromedia, and now the venerable web server engine is stuck with Adobe. Normally I run CF on a Windows server with IIS, but because Bill Gates refuses to…
Had to share this wonderful little hack that solved the day's sticky problem: how do you show content to non-registered users only in a Joomla site? It's easy enough to only show stuff to a user if he/she is registered, but what about the reverse scenario: make something appear only to the common hoi polloi…
