Font Conference ∼
I don’t get why Comic Sans is the superhero — when has that ever saved anything?
Sean Tevis for State Representative ∼
Really a wonderful idea, and he sounds like a quite clever chap. And $8.34 isn’t exactly much money.
Kurt Vonnegut on Writing Style ∼
No matter what your first language, you should treasure it all your life. If it happens to not be standard English, and if it shows itself when your write standard English, the result is usually delightful, like a very pretty girl with one eye that is green and one that is blue.
I beg to differ, seeing that I personally try to write as British as possible, but it’s sound advice. Embrace your differences.

Who’s that hanging from the gallow tree?
His eyes are hollow but he looks like me.
Another Take on LAMP ∼
Acronym Key WIMP Windows, IIS DAMN DirectX, ActiveX, .NET […] SIN SQL Server, IIS, .NET
As spoken by a very wise man.
Memento Mori ∼
A novella on which my favourite film of all times, Memento, is based. Not quite as good as the film but very decent for a short story.
In Layman’s Terms ∼
For those unfamiliar with Value Chain Integration, in layman’s terms it synergizes backward overflow while optimizing cardinal grammeters in addition to allowing customers to parabolize slithy toves at the least embiggoned cost possible.
You know, in layman’s terms.
Title Case in PHP
I spent some time today writing a port of Gruber’s Title Case to PHP, but as it turns out, there is already one, which functions a little better, so I won’t publish it.
I’ll continue to use mine though, because, well, I rock.
(The way I discovered this, by the way, was rather bizarre. I had obviously named the plugin Title Case, and then, to my surprise, it turned out there was an update. Apparently, it queries the central plugin repository to check about updates. Very clever, but took me by surprise that I had already released an update.)
