“In a situation like this, I always ask myself, what would my hero Edward R. Murrow think? And I think that Ed would think that this was censorship. Then I think about what my other hero, General George Patton, would think, and I think George would think that radio and television ought to be cleaned up, and if he were alive today, he’d take two armored cavalry divisions into Hollywood and knock all those liberal pinheads into the Pacific! So as you can see, I’m a very confused man. And when I get confused, I watch TV. Television is never confusing. It’s all so simple somehow.” – Les Nessman, WKRP in Cincinnati

Enter the Moondoggie
Now that I’m done with the main part of the coding, it’s time to go back to the fun. HHHiiiIIIIYYYYAAAA!!
Welcome to PHP-ville
Well, with any luck the weirdness with the site is over. All of my PHP stuff is going and I even added that “Change Styles” section thanks to this article over on A List Apart. Right now all I have is the default look and the results of a challenge from a friend to make my site look “more like Wired’s site.” Unfortunately, the designers over at Wired seem to have access to some sort of top-secret super colors, so this is as close as I could get. Grab some shades before you click.
PHP, here I come!
Okay, so now it appears I’ve made the home page work with many little PHP thingies. Now we get to see if I can do the same to the rest of the site. SaWEET!
Oh, again you’ll probably be seeing some wackiness as I make the transition. Patience, my friend. The future is near!!
Semi-Weekly Word: Belief
Now we get to see the other meaning of Semi-Weekly Word, the fact that I might not necessarily do one a week. But I promise I’ll do better, now that Moondoggie is nearing completion. For now, you can revel in this week’s word, belief.
In the meantime, you might see weird goings-on around the site. I’m going to try my hand at PHP today (maybe) and do a little restructuring. Heck, I might even try making the site look prettier with Chimera, seeing as how that’s what I’m using to browse with at home. It’s all about me, baby.
Great. Just wonderful.
So I’m walking through the Government Center T stop and an MBTA cop passes me going the other way with a dog sniffing around. “Cute dog” is my first thought. “Cute bomb-sniffing dog” is my second. Uh oh. Now I’m wondering if I should be messing around with my Palm Pilot. Don’t want to look like I’m setting a timer or anything…

Whhhiiiirrrrrrrrrr
I know I should be writing. I want to write, I think I have things to write about, but nothing’s coming out of my fingers. Well, except for those words. And those. And those two right there. You get the picture.
I think the big thing that’s stoppering up my fingers right now is insight. I guess you could say I’ve had one of those breakthrough days today. You know, where you see a little deeper into yourself and figure out some little thing that makes you tick? It’s been one of those kinds of days. Well, maybe just the afternoon.

Yarrrr….
Me pirate name be Bloody Harry Rackham. Yarrrr… What be yours?
Hilarious forensics quote…
Who knew there was such a thing.
I was looking through some of the mounds of sniper articles out there and stumble across this interesting article on Time’s web site. On the second page, the humor started. Following is a snippet taken directly from Time, which means it’s copyright them, etc.

Women’s magazines are scary
So I’m in my local Mom & Pop convenience store chain waiting to buy a grape soda and a bag of Haribo Fruit Blasts (“Another quality MAOAM chew from Haribo”) when I start perusing the magazine rack next to me. One of the women’s magazines (there’s a blonde on the cover, if that helps) has its headlines a little too scattered for my addled mind. Apparently there is an article about improving your sex life as well as one about improving your hairstyle. The only problem is, when you zip across the cover as I am wont to do, you get a headline reading “Improve your sex life! No scissors needed!”
Hold me, I’m scared.
