Zander 
Posted in As long as I can remember, I always worked better when I had music in the background. I’ve got a couple of personal “theme songs” that just put me in the zone, and cause me to work at 200%! Something about these songs just push everything else aside, and let me focus at the task [...]

WordPress 2.6.5 Release
Once again, another security release from the guys at WordPress. With no word on when the elusive v2.7 will be released, it’s probably best that everyone update to 2.6.5 to keep their blogs secure.

Still Reeling From The Election..
I’m amazed at the stupidity in this country.. The election became less about politics and more about “making history”.. In short, it became a race issue. I had high hopes for McCain to pull it out in the end, but it just wasn’t in the cards. Let’s hope his Socialistic views never make it to [...]
