PHP Coding Standards
• July 30, 2010 • Code, Writing • No comments
For the past several years, I’ve been developing a coding style for PHP that all began with SimplePie. Since then, I’ve been polishing the standards from one project to the next to the point where I believe that I have a solid, rational set of guidelines that others can share and re-use. Any feedback that [...]
Movie Review: The Last Airbender
• July 5, 2010 • TV and Movies • 1 comments
The Last Airbender is an abomination to film making. It makes Matrix Revolutions look like The Godfather. Don’t go see it, tell your friends not to see it — don’t even wait until it comes out on DVD. Don’t waste a moment of your life on this film; you’ll thank me later. I love Avatar [...]
The Great Buzz Cut of 2010
• June 29, 2010 • Family Life • No comments
When I got home this evening, I set down my backpack and began catching up on the day’s events with my family. Generally it’s a story of errands and the like, but then Matthew started telling me about how he wanted to look nice this evening. He was telling me about how he’d selected a [...]

In September 2004, my wife came in from the bathroom and announced to all of us sitting in the living room that she was pregnant. Fast-forward to today, and my son is turning 5 years old. It’s been a wild 5 years so far, and he’ll probably even live another 5 years before I kill [...]
Dog Vomit
• May 29, 2010 • Family Life • No comments
“Daddy, daddy! Jack is throwing up!” Jack is our dog — a 10 pound terrier-chihuahua not much bigger than a cat, that we named Jack Bauer for the sake of amusement. I sighed, paused my game of Call of Duty, and went to find the dog. Generally, dog vomit involves wiping it up with a [...]
Observations of a 4-year-old

My son’s observations on the life of a 4-year-old is a constant stream of humorous material.
Movie Review: Avatar
• February 6, 2010 • TV and Movies • No comments
James Cameron has made some pretty incredible movies over the past 25 years, and Avatar will end up doing for movies what the iPod did for digital music. Most of the 3D movies I’ve seen in years-past have been very gimmicky. The 3D is overbearing, and the directors seem to think it’s funny to break [...]

I came across the following demos of the new 3D CSS Transform functionality in the latest WebKit builds. These will be making their way into Safari, Google Chrome, iPhone, and Android sometime soon.
