Stand By Me
One of the best Christmas gifts I got this year was a stocking stuffer my wife (uh, I mean Santa!) gave me — a DVD of Stand By Me, one of greatest movies of all time.

He sounds like quite an interesting guy, even though he and I are, politically speaking, polar-opposites. But I like his style of humor, very self-deprecating.

Frustrating Php/WordPress Upgrade
Just last night I tried to upgrade my web server to the latest version of Php (4.3.10). This should teach me not to make major changes late at night.
