First of all, for those celebrating: Merry Christmas. If you’re not celebrating . . . just drink some egg nog and shut up already. Nobody cares. Today I pushed a number of changes to WP Sentry to the repository, so if you’re up with the times, you should be getting a notice in your dashboard to [...]
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend, and I don’t know how to make it stop. It seems that a disproportionate number of restaurants are starting to charge rather large fees for delivery. I ordered a pizza last night and there was a $2.00 delivery fee on $10.00 worth of pizza. Now, this isn’t such a bad deal, really, [...]
Earlier this month, my alma mater, Indiana University School of Law1 announced that it was changing it’s name to the “Michael Maurer School of Law”. It turns out that this guy donated a large sum of money ($35 million) to the school and it was during a capital campaign so the university at large matched [...]
Pretend, for a moment, that you’re spending $6,500 a semester to go to Morris Brown College and live on campus. Now pretend that you wake up one morning to find that your school had neglected to pay its $400,000 water bill, so you can’t take a shower. Fortunately, that’s not quite how it went . . [...]
So, I’m sure I’m not the only one who says this, literally, every single year, but I just can’t believe we’re half-way through December already.

Last night, I got an email from Randy Kim, FanHouse’s Executive Producer, informing me that I was no longer on the team. [...]
One of my pet projects, a private posting plugin for WordPress, has been accumulating minor fixes and major features for the last few months, and with the release of WordPress 2.7 imminent, I decided to go ahead and tie up the loose ends for a new release. There’s more on the new release below the [...]
I hate slow-pokes in the left-hand lane on the interstate. Seriously, one of my huge pet peeves. That said, I’m not sure I trust the police and traffic courts to strike a good balance between speed limits and left-lane camping legislation. The basic gist of the article, people hate slow drivers and some states are starting [...]
Thanksgiving came and went, bringing with it my 28th birthday. It should be stated, and cannot be emphasized enough, that I don’t think birthdays are a big deal. In this regard, Dave Barry and I see eye to eye. I typically prefer not to have things bought for me and, truth be told, the 40 [...]
