Back in 2003, I got bit by the photography bug. I bought a killer camera, took thousands of pics. But I stopped carrying it. The phone on my camera’s no replacement, but I’m trying to keep an eye out for that occasional, knock-yer-socks-off, diamond in the rough.

ExpressionEngine template tags are great and all, but sometimes they just need a little of that extra sauce only PHP can provide. Luckily, EE makes it easy to comingle the two.

I think Muxtape is the bee’s knees, easily in my Top Ten list of best web services ever, and it’s not because of its feature set. All those “missing” features force you to do one important thing: listen to the damn music.

If you’re one of the unlucky people who recently asked me what I’ve been reading, I apologize. I just cannot shut up about Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men. And it’s all because of that brooding asshole, Jack Burden.

So I admit it: I do, from time to time, stealth edit my posts. But on a backwoods blog like this, is that really a bad thing? Or how about this: If a tree falls in the forest and the other trees don’t give a flying flip about dangling participles, does it make a sound?

If you’d heard any of Girl Talk’s first three albums, you already knew what to expect from his fourth, Feed The Animals. But did you really? Gillis gets one step closer to proving that there’s actually some art behind the pop stew he’s cooking. Over-the-top, barely chewed, and many times not even off the radio, Girl Talk makes every song he samples more fun, and occasionally, more important.

So wait a second. The show returns when? January 2009? Seriously? I may need to reconsider my policy on fan fiction.

I’m not saying IE is even in the wrong on this one – I have a hunch the validator may actually be wrong to have given passing marks to my code. All I’m saying is that if every other browser rendered my code correctly, you’d hope the market leader would do the same. Luckily, I’ve been in this game long enough to know better.

The folks at 37signals recently blogged about the reasons they shy away from using Photoshop in their designs. If the comments are any indication (they probably aren’t), most web designers think they’re crazy. But there’s one valuable lesson we can take from their notes on process.

For about an eighteen month span in my early twenties, I was extraordinarily self-interested. In the last two days, I’ve come across a handful of blogs that, while well written, are lousy with that same unrelenting self-interest. And guess what? I’ve subscribed to all of them. I’ll be the first to admit: The sight of someone skittling through their Me Years is just too much fun to pass up.

This is where I start sounding like a crotchety, selfish old man. Either that or a three-year-old that won’t share his toys. It’s my data. And you can’t play with it!

At which point this guy dumps two years of posts, switches to a new CMS and abandons the idea of single-focus blogging. At least he kept the same feed address.
