I just finished helping my wife and sister set up their online catalog, www.twohatchicks.com. They’re making and selling handmade hats and other crocheted items. They’re taking paypal and will ship anywhere in the US, so if you’re interested go send ‘em an email!
(Any fustiness in the site design is 100% my fault. [...]

S5: Simple Standards-based Slide Show System
Basically, write some markup, apply a stylesheet, and you have a presentation in a box.
I also added a Present This bookmarklet that opens the current page in a full page frame with no toolbars/menubar etc, so you just hit F11 to view fullscreen.
Pretty sweet.
Filibuster Alito
January 27, 2006 – 2:51 pm
I know I’ve laid off the politics for a while, but I have to come out in support of the filibuster:
First, I believe he’s unqualified for the position. He has a history of lying before the Senate to gain confirmation.
Second, I find his statement that he does not consider Roe v. Wade settled law [...]
Green Tea Is The Greatest Thing In The Universe
January 21, 2006 – 2:57 am
This is because Coffee is the greatest thing in the universe, except when it isn’t.
Any time I start drinking coffee, I very quickly get to the point where I drink 4 cups a day. I say, “any time”, even though I’ve only quit twice in the last 3 years.

So I just watched The Salton Sea last night, and without including any spoilers (it sucked), let me just say it wasn’t very good. And it got me to thinking, specifically about Val Kilmer. Like far many actors, you can split his career into two distinct parts, after which there are really no good movies [...]

Maybe you’ve noted the new poll in the sidebar. I’ll replicate the question here for your perusal.
Ok, let’s say you logged into a web service via XML, and one of the responses back was an integer for a bitfield indicating possible permissions. What would you do?
parse the string into an int, set individual [...]

New York Senate Race
January 4, 2006 – 11:53 am
Once upon a time, Jeanine Pirro was running for the Republican nomination for Senator from New York. It turns out she had a few problems, so the GOPers forced her out of the race.
The only problem? Nobody else wants to sign up.
Hm. Maybe we can find somebody to parachute in and save [...]
