I was going to write about how adults were writing letters to santa and exhausting volunteer letter answerers but then Jenny McCarthy got all in my face

I cannot believe any news site could sell out this bad. It almost makes me nauseous to see this level of advertisement for one product.



An another note I changed image upload resizing to use imagecopyresampled instead of imagecopyresize for png images and they look a 1000% better. I am embarrassed I didn't notice this before. I wonder how many screen shot uploads were shitty because of that. My second life ones sure were.

Check out these stats from harper's index. 94% of all existing blogs
haven't been updated in four months. I blame Twitter and facebook.

A lot of people who started blogs were just excited to have a web
presense without programming. Now you can do that in so many ways
without having to think much.

I am so sick of hearing about how everything has to be exactly like facebook in terms of webdesign.

I worked on an inline editor widget for some internal project at work and it allowed you to just double click to edit and hit return to save. Esc to cancel out.

Apparently, people "would not be able to get that" even though the title text clearly stated it so I had to make it "more like face freakin book" It has to be like facebook because that is the only thing people could possibly understand.



I through in an even stupider cancel button for people who can't handle the esc button.

I feel bad for the families but does WGRZ channel 2 really still need it in their news tab dropdown - right at the top. Is there any new coverage, ever?

Fuck you.

I was reading the news earlier about this guy who died in a cave after being stuck for 24 hours on thanksgiving. I feel bad for his family, etc but I can't help but wonder what the heck he was doing as a 6' 190 lb man in a 10" by 18" chute with a turn. The cave has multiple areas where you can inch along by squeezing your body through tubes that do not really fit humans very well. One of them is over 100'feet long.

This is the official website of the cave called nutty putty.

Here is the PDF map of the "trail"

The story is so sad. I can't imagine being trapped for so long, being pulled up 12 feet and then falling back into the rut.





Instead of getting him out they are talking about just sealing the cave off with the body inside.

If anyone can ever make this for me, I will love them forever. It an extra special challenge because the pattern is sold out



The etsy site seems pretty awesome. I never saw it before but it seems like a great way to sell handmade items if you make any of those.

The pattern author has a blog and they also have a tutorial on making 3d crochet shapes

I was visiting to see what people are looking for these days - purely for fun. Its also kind of interesting to see people's expectations and source code that gets attached. Some of it is so full of bugs and dangerous security issues. The best is all the marketing people that know they want something but are not sure of the technologies or their relationships to one another. Like, "I need a mysql/css website for user interaction." Yes, both of those technologies are used in web development but I have never heard them described together as the two main technology requests. I think web development just assumes CSS nowadays.

We need a 35 page website for a client.

Does anyone describe websites in pages anymore. That sounds so 1997.

Another one is to create a unique taxpayer identification number system for a whole country. THat has to be a scam.

The objective of this project is to carry out a successful roll-out and implementation of the Unique National Taxpayer Identification Number (U-TIN) for the country and the development of a related data base linked to all relevant stakeholders in order to bring the country's tax administration and practice in line with global best practices.

It is expected, that the U-TIN, when implemented would ensure proper identification and registration of all tax-payers and create an efficient and effective tax system for the entire country. Description: Files:

I think CNN got the numbers wrong:

The number of interracial marriages have skyrocketed, nearly quadrupling between 1970 and 2005, the most recent year for which there is census data. As of 2005, nearly 8.5 Americans are living in interracial marriages

I feel bad for that 0.5 person that didn't even count as a whole person.

Imagine being sick at school and being put in an isolation chamber, and then not having the swine flu.

"We have hand sanitizers all over the buildings," said Peter Burns, Hilbert College Dean of Students. "We have an isolation room if somebody comes down with severe symptoms or fever. We've actually had one student so far we've put in isolation, come to find out he's fine."
