After watching her obviously drunk/stoned tonight on American Idol, I’m reminded of a post I wrote in 2005 about how much Paula Abdul sucks. Tonight was completely over-the-top, though. I’ve never seen her so completely thrashed before. So, she’s tripping on day one and then on day two, she amazingly has a [...]
Brian and I were watching American Idol on Tuesday night when into the audition room walked a familiar face. Melinda Doolittle, who made it through to Hollywood without any difficulty, and I attended the same high school. I was the class of 1999, she was the class of 1995. I was a [...]
I’ve officially been a 9Rules member for a little over a month now. I blindly submitted my site months ago without much in the way of expectations. I had hoped I’d make the cut, but life would have gone on if I hadn’t. After hearing the good news and spending some [...]
Whew. After a day’s worth of work (I scrapped the first version I was working on this AM and started fresh about noon), it’s mostly there. I need to add content to the shelf and tweak a few things, but this is the general idea.
I have the next tutorial pretty much done, just need to [...]
If you haven’t already, you may want to read the first part of this tutorial first. If you’re wondering what this is all about, try reading this post.

Note: If you are a pro, don’t be an ass and critique my methods. :) I am going to start simple and build.
My goal with this tutorial is to only show you how to customize Wordpress’ look and feel. I’m not going to dive into how everything works or what a flux [...]
I ordered a few new graphic novels off the net earlier this week. I’ll tell you more about the rest of them later, but for now I am thoroughly jazzed on Fray, Joss Whedon’s graphic novel about a future slayer. The story is fast-paced and witty, and the artwork is outstanding. Also, [...]
Eek! I’m (mostly) naked. I feel like I’m pulling a Britney and showing you all what’s under my skirt. ;) If you’re looking at this page and thinking that I seriously broke something, you’d be right. Only it was an intentional break.
Over the past few months, and especially since [...]

Thought that might get your attention. :)
Actually, this post is about something infinitely more important than some amazingly beautiful, powerful and simple cellular device destined to change mobile electronics as we know it (okay, so maybe this post is a liiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit about the iPhone — it’s awesome, sue me). This is post [...]
