New Year, New Host, New Look

January 30th, 2008

LtL is back up and running after several days of struggling with some SQL issues as I transferred hosting servers for the site. After a number of years with GoDaddy.com, I decided, for several reasons, to switch to Bluehost.com. I wasn’t planning on changing themes, but happened across this one and really like the simplicity [...]

Two New 10 Minute Plays

January 24th, 2008

Not exactly what you would call “comedies,” these are both pretty bleak plays. As with most of these play, a great deal of the theatricality is outside of the words and “story.” Instead, actions in the physical space of the play are called for to complete the text. I feel that I write my play [...]

It’s A Links Day

Searchable Database of the Bush Administrations LIes:
It would be a terrible mistake for the world to allow this man to continue to flaunt his obligations to the international community, to continue to build weapons of mass destruction under the dark of night, and to one day wake up in a situation in which [...]

Safari & Wordpress, Not Playing Well Together

January 17th, 2008

So it seems that whenever I try to edit static pages with Safari, all the formatting gets messed up. I was at my wits end trying to figure out what was going on until I thought to myself, “Self,” I thought, “Maybe you should try another browser, just on the off-chance that somehow it’s [...]

Free Rice

January 16th, 2008

I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while, but you should go over to FreeRice.com and play their vocabulary game. For each word you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice to hungry people across the world.
Fun and a little slice of doing good. Everyone wins.

Test of Ecto 3.0 Beta

January 13th, 2008

I have been using Ecto for blogposts since moving to the Mac and have always liked what it offered, especially the easy access to Amazon Associate links, the way that, when you select text and click the “link” button, the program automatically fills in the link address with the last copied http address, and the [...]

Some New Stuff: Mini Reviews

“Mstand Laptop Stand By Rain Design” (Rain Design)
Ever since I got my Macbook Pro, I was using the box it came as a stand when I sat at my desk. It raised it up enough for use, but not quite enough for comfort and it was an inelegant solution. Plus, I lost a great deal [...]
