TalentProof
we recently netflix’d two movies in a row with “-proof” in their title: Quentin Tarrantino‘s Death Proof (one half of his and Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse) and Adam Sandler‘s Bulletproof. A brief review of these stinkbombs… Death Proof the only thing this flick proves is that Quentin Tarrantino is working on his talentless hack title. seriously.…

Rails…
with some hacking and clever googling i think i’ve installed everything i need for RubyOnRails. i’m not positive though, and i won’t really know for sure until i start really hacking my first program. i had to find several different installation howtos to be sure i did everything. i’m pretty sure the ubuntu community documentation…

project: Image Slideshow — method: RubyOnRails
i’ve decided to learn RubyOnRails. Rails is a programming language/framework that comes with some prepackaged “programming shortcuts” which allow developers to write programs much faster. it’s more of a “do this” and the app actually does that sort of thing as opposed to writing lines and lines of code for weeks to make it “do…

simple, huh?
so i went in to what i expected to be a routine eye exam before my albertsons’ insurance was up to get some glasses. i knew i needed them or at least that something was up. driving at night sucked, i have a hard time reading subtitles, and things are, in general, blurry around the…

a guy in a hat kills another guy in a hat, 2000
