Picking up from where we last left off, the commercial break winds down and I begin the bottom-half of my horrible, horrible experiment.

Perfect – P!nk

  • Speaking of staying power…I remember when Pink debuted (without the “!”) as an R&B singer with “attitude.” Then she turned into a pop-rock singer…with “attitude.” Now she alternates between dance music and straight pop ballads like this one…with “attitude.”
  • What’s with all the self-esteem building songs lately? Oh, right.
  • Well, this song is bland and generic. I was hoping this experiment would produce a lot more anger and rage, because More >
It kind of pisses me off that these guys have millions of dollars.

Adventures in Top 40 Radio

I basically hate most music. That’s not to say that I hate music; I don’t. I have music I really enjoy, but my tastes are very narrow and specific, and the general majority of music that’s out there today stimulates an ancient, dark part of my brain that knows only chaos and violence. And the absolute worst kind of music for stimulating that part of my brain is the crap they put on Top 40 radio these days.

So as a mildly masochistic experiment, I thought I’d force myself to listen to an hour of Top 40 radio, specifically KHKS 106.1 Kiss FM, one of the Dallas area’s consistently More >

Duhvelopers! Duhvelopers! Duhvelopers!

What the hell is wrong with Microsoft?

I’ve never really understood the devotion of die-hard Apple fanatics.  You know the type: the ones who have owned all four versions of the iPhone, the ones who think the Apple TV was a good idea, the ones who will argue with a straight face that Aperture can be just as good as Photoshop.

I’ve often thought it must be hard to be an Apple fanboy.  It’s not unlike being in an abusive relationship; no matter how much disdain Cupertino shows for their customers, they continue to make excuses, talk about how much they love their giant iPod, and bend over when Apple launches their next annual More >

 

What do you mean? A politician LIED?!?

Despite my general policy of steering clear of politics on this site, I think it’s pretty safe to say that John Edwards’ political career is pretty much finished.  In case you live under a rock, or haven’t taken your eyes away from 14 year-old Chinese gymnasts pretending to be 16, former senator Edwards ‘fessed-up to having an affair with a campaign staffer who apparently gets around.  A lot.  While cheating on your cancer-ridden wife falls somewhere between “intentionally making babies cry” and “kitten-rape” on the Miserable Bastard Scale, it’s not my place to judge.  After all, it’s a More >

Stable release my ass

Just upgraded to WordPress 2.6, only to find out that it killed my permalinks.  If you’re having problems reading any of the posts here, that’s why.  I’m working to get it fixed, although I may be at the mercy of the next WP release.  Ugh.

MySQL can kiss MySQAss

So my endeavour to get this site up and running is complete. What you see here is the result of several days worth of agonizing and scrutinizing over MySQL databases, PHP issues, wrestling with WordPress, and several botched attempts to edit a CSS stylesheet when I had no idea what either a stylesheet or a CSS was. It’s finally over.

You jerks better enjoy it.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the hours I spent trying to figure out why WordPress wouldn’t talk to my database, when I had accidentally named the database “wodrpess” instead of “wordpress.” IT WAS A BLAST!
