MongoDB as in huMONGOus, not retarded
Unlike the rest of the known world, I won’t write anything on the iPad. Yet. Instead, I’m still in the process of writing the upcoming parts of my Popurls Clone series and as per usual, it takes a lot more time than expected. In combination with a massive amount of bills, life is good! As it turns out, you actually need to “work” in order to get “money”.... Read More
A Popurls Clone with PHP, jQuery, Awesomeness
Good people of the Internets, I know a good deal of you frequently visit some sort of social website and/or aggregator such as Popurls, Reddit, Digg, Developer Zone, or what have you. After a deep and thorough analysis of my visitor statistics (read: pulling data out of my ass), many of you seem to like articles about PHP.

Here’s something to keep you entertained while you think it through. And you may have to increase the volume while you watch it as it is just that mind numbingly awesome. Still... Read More
CSS3 pseudo-class selector emulation for IE 5.5 – 8 and html5 with video
While gathering information as a part of my ongoing plan to be omniscient, if came across something that makes IE behave like a capable browser. Although to be fair, IE 8 is actually not that bad a browser – in the way that Star Wars Episodes 1-3 are not that bad. So, yeah, you do the math. I mean, Jar Jar. Pisses me off just thinking about it. Mr Keith Clark has been conjuring... Read More
CSS typography is fun. Really. If you’re in to S&M
So I found this article over at Smashing Magazine dealing with CSS typography. It’s a nice write up of both current and upcoming features – depending on your browser of choice – that will allow you to do some text formatting that I remember doing with Aldus PageMaker. Good times. Nice to see that technology is progressing at a steady pace. Competent writer Inayaili... Read More
