New Style Switcher
Inspired by a number of amazing, professional sites, I spent a bunch of time working with TimK on creating my own version of a style switcher. To be honest, at this point the code is rather ham-handed and I’ll be looking to improve it in the near future. But for now, it’s pretty cool, and…

It’s bothered me for a long time that people talk about “finding a cure for cancer.” Today, Jorge Cham of PhD comics has addressed this very same issue in a very easy to understand and straightfoward way—his comic. I enjoy the rest of his comics and it’s awesome that he’s taken the time to try…

Ultimately, it appears that the issue was more specifically related to my conditions than I initially expected, but in the…

The State of Maryland vs. pr0n
Somehow I’ve found myself involved in the ongoing issue over screening adult films on University System of Maryland schools. There are a few good articles to read on the subject as it stands right now, but here’s a quick summary: College Park was going to screen an adult film in the student theater, but the…

Vote for Me!
When I launched the site a few weeks ago, I stumbled across a WordPress design contest hosted by WPWebhost. I decided to toss my hat into the ring and it turns out that out of 58 entries for the “Modern & Elegant” category, I was selected to be one of the ten contestants in the poll.…
