Disabling Markdown in your WordPress comments
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007
Sometimes I post things to this blog that are well documented elsewhere. During research I’ll Google a phrase without any immediate results. Then I’ll dig in a little more until I find what I’m looking for. Finally I’ll make a blog post with a title that mimics my Google search.
This is a [...]
World Clocks
Monday, September 24th, 2007
My friends over at Iridesco have a new project cooking. If you have any interesting or unique pictures of an analog clock of any sort, join the fun.
Batter up, Kid
Friday, September 21st, 2007
The Kid practicing her home run stroke. She actually is quite decent and fun to pitch to, though she currently has no strike zone control. In the video below, taken a while ago, she starts catching on toward the end.

My foray into has_many_polymorphs
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007
The great thing about my worklife as of late is seemingly every week I get to learn something new. I don’t necessarily have to learn something new, but I certainly want to. My base of experience is growing and I’m arriving at a place where I can recognize when the unknown thing will [...]

Rails auto select text field tag
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

I recently ordered the new albums by M.I.A. and Rilo Kiley from Best Buy. A pretty good release date sale of $7.99 for each disc enticed me.
Imagine my surprise when I received a box built for 50 CD’s in the mail. Shows how much I know about business when I can’t think of [...]
Paw - Jessie
Friday, September 7th, 2007
My favorite unknown 80’s grunge band is Paw. This is a music video that was included on the original Road Rash game.

TextMate find in project slow in Rails
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007
Update: Don’t bother with the crap I spewed below. Just head over to Rail Spikes. There are a couple options if you read the post and comments.
I do a ton of project finds when programming in Rails using TextMate. “Find in project” (cmd-shift-F) is my master. If you do the same [...]
