Los Angeles

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip September 30th, 2006 @ 1:19 am PDT

I have to admit that I was a huge fan of the West Wing. I thought it was “the most intelligent show on television“. The last season (or was it two?) though — after Aaron Sorkin stopped writing — it really jumped the shark. I was still pretty sad to see it go. I have […]

Disable WordPress File Upload September 29th, 2006 @ 4:05 pm PDT

Although I can appreciate that it’s a really nifty feature, I am likely never going to use the built-in File Upload feature in WordPress. What has bugged me is that it’s in an IFRAME in the Write Post panel; I think it slows the page load. I was trying to get rid of it, but […]

Goodbye in Gasoline

Goodbye in Gasoline September 27th, 2006 @ 6:06 am PDT

I‘ve decided that Goodbye in Gasoline has overtaken How’s My Driving, Doug Hastings? as my favorite Less Than Jake song. It’s a tough call to make. I’ve had How’s My Driving posted here for download since early 2000. That is a seriously long time to have been awake late every night, nervously waiting for the […]

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy September 26th, 2006 @ 7:13 pm PDT

This is an essay I wrote a loooong time ago … I must have been 13 or 14 … good old St. Paul’s Catholic Elementary School in Daytona Beach, FL …

Gators

Sunday Afternoon Football September 24th, 2006 @ 1:52 pm PDT

Los Angeles’ TimeWarner cable — previously known as Adelphia — is rotten. It is quite possibly the worst cable company in America. Two years ago they dropped the ESPN Gameplan, so there was no way for me to watch the Gators unless I hauled my butt over to Westwood to catch them at the UGA […]

Live Like a Hobbit

Live Like a Hobbit September 21st, 2006 @ 8:41 am PDT

re you tired of city-living? Why not chuck it all and move to The Shire of Bend, Oregon? In this community they’re building Middle Earth-style cottages instead of the cookie-cutter houses seen in most new developments. Where most suburban landscapes have sewer systems and ditches, here Hobbit holes abound! The whole place looks like Disney […]

DropCaps, Amazon Tags for WordPress

DropCaps, Amazon Tags for WordPress September 20th, 2006 @ 9:41 pm PDT

I have finally updated two of my WordPress hack tutorials so that they are compliant with v. 2.04. The first one — DropCaps — allows you to put that nifty “dropcap” into a post. This post begins with a dropcap I. The second one — Amazon Tags — adds two new buttons to your editing […]

VoJo Energy Citrus

VoJo Energy Citrus September 20th, 2006 @ 8:44 am PDT

Generally I am not the kind of guy that gets into breath mints. I’m more of a DoubleMint man. I chew gum like mad. But I saw these Vojo Energy mints while I was in line at Gelson’s and the packaging hooked me. They taste great and as a bonus have a little guarana caffeine […]
