WP Plugin: Notify on Draft Post

I contribute to a few other blogs out there as I’m able, all of which are WordPress-based like this one. A seemingly simple function has been lacking in my mind, and the community seems to agree with me. But for some unknown reason, the answer has not been produced until now. My first WordPress plugin,… Continue reading WP Plugin: Notify on Draft Post

The Disney World Report

Disney World Vacation Photos There’s a place on this Earth where reality fails, excitement is on tap, and prices are only limited by your imagination. Walt Disney’s Disney World creation is the most spectacular piece of manufactured tourism in the world. It’s also one of the only places that truly caters to the whole family,… Continue reading The Disney World Report

The Right to Be Topless

Some parts of America are actually attempting to reeducate society’s morals and bring fair treatment of mammaries to all. New York, for one, has legalized boobs on public display in areas where it is similarly approved for men to go shirtless. After Janet Jackson’s recent wardrobe blunder, some (albeit minority) civil liberty groups have stressed… Continue reading The Right to Be Topless

Metaphysiology: My Word, not Theirs

I thought I invented the word metaphysiology just now. Meta- being the state of something being in an advanced or super state, physique/physical representing the anatomy, and finally -ology being the study of. Together that gives you the “scientific study of superhuman qualities or powers.” Alas, the New Age folks have already taken the word… Continue reading Metaphysiology: My Word, not Theirs

6 Days ’till Dragon*Con 2006

He’s one of the other drummers on the Silk Roads track and in the Dragon*Con drumming circle. I’m sure I’ve mentioned the apparent misalignment with drumming and Sci-Fi/Fantasy, but… Continue reading 6 Days ’till Dragon*Con 2006

Crash Bonsai

Zen mind, Zen crash. This is apparently peace and tranquility for the EXXTREME! That is, of course, unless you find car wrecks into trees to be disettling. At any rate, the workmanship is spectacular and no cars (or trees) were actually hurt in the making of these gems. Crash Bonsai makes models…diaramas even, to replicate… Continue reading Crash Bonsai

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

I just ordered new tires for the Mazda3. It was a temultuous saga for me that has spanned several weeks now of research and stress. I’m the kind of guy that will research a product to death and still be concerned that I’m not getting the best value for my dollar. Normally, I’ve always just… Continue reading Where the Rubber Meets the Road

BODIES: The Exhibition (Wrap-Up)

Not being a medical student, I can’t begin to fully appreciate what I saw, but I can say that I would never have otherwise been able to examine cadavers as I did here.
