The title says it all. I’ve been neglect­ing my blog lately. I had some major things hap­pen back at the  end of last year and just got out of the habit of post­ing. but I’m going to try to get back in to the rou­tine of post­ing at least once a week or so. I decided […]

First off, I think the Word­Press plu­gin instal­la­tion sys­tem is sec­ond to none in the indus­try, but I do think that there is room for improve­ments. I will out­line them below. Con­sis­tent doc­u­men­ta­tion - Every plu­gin SHOULD have a changelog! Not sure why so many don’t. I think this should be required when post­ing a plu­gin. Some […]

I first started using it with ver­sion 2 and main­tained my site up through ver­sion 5. It’s main appeal was it was writ­ten in .NET, It […]

I am in the process of point­ing my Feed­burner feed at my new blog and fully shut­ting down the old site. I apol­o­gize if old feed items become dupli­cated.

So after lit­er­ally years of threats I have finally moved my blog to Word­Press. I have spent a great deal of time research­ing all the blog plat­form options and this appears to best suit my needs. So today I am start­ing my “soft launch” so that you can test it out and give me feedback. […]

Variety.com is report­ing that for­mer Whose Line is it Any­way (one of the best shows ever con­ceived by man) Drew Carey is in the run­ning for the host of The Price is Right. Other can­di­dates include George Hamil­ton (who has plas­tic surgery older than the show itself), Rosie O’Donnell (huh?) and my favorite John O’Hurley […]
