Jess: She was wicked-prego. / Aaron: What? / Jess: Wicked-prego. You know, like very pregnant. / Aaron: Oh. See I imagined this poor jar of spaghetti sauce buring in hell and being poked with pitch forks and stuff.

I beat the Amazee Dayzee!
In Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64, which I’ve been playing on my Wii, there’s this creature called an Amazee Dayzee. It’s dead tricky to beat because it has 20 Heart Points, which isn’t much, but it usually runs away as soon as it gets the chance. I’ve been trying to beat the [...]
my Qbee PHP script
I'm a member of the Quilting Bee and I use a very simple PHP script I wrote for displaying my quilt. I figure someone else might get some use out of it, so here it is for your coding pleasure:
PHP
<?php
// The relative URL to the directory containing my patches
$img_dir = '/wp-images/qbee/';

Introduction to Web Design presentation
View PDF »
This is a very basic introduction on how to go about creating a web page. It was to last for about ten minutes and given to an audience of middle schoolers. See also the handout I made for them containing links to various resources.

View PDF »
This lasted about an hour, if I remember correctly, and skimmed over HTML and CSS basics before delving into guidelines for improving a web page’s appearance through CSS. The audience was my fellow college students who may have had some knowledge of HTML and CSS, but no background in professional web design.

my organizational side run amok
I installed Delicious Library earlier and have spent all afternoon and evening scanning in barcodes from my CD’s, DVD’s, books, and games. Wow, that sounds like the dorkiest thing ever: while everyone else in this country is watching the Superbowl, I’m sitting alone in my apartment, waving barcodes at my computer. I [...]
chmodding and Ruby
Recently, I switched from a Powerbook to a Macbook, and to copy my files from one to the other, I used a pen drive. Since my pen drive has a FAT file system, it treats everything as being executable. This, however, is not the case on a UNIX-like file system like OS X. In order to save myself the hassle of manually chmodding thousands of files, I wrote this Ruby script.
ArtRage
I downloaded the free starter version of ArtRage 2 the other day and I’m just now getting around to playing with it. I have no talent with drawing people or objects, but I was able to whip this up in a few minutes, and Todd was able to discern that it’s a human face, [...]
