Plug-in Crazy

As most of you have probably figured out by now, I suck at graphical interfaces, and as part of that, I can't create a good-looking template, I compensate for my lack of creative juices by making my sites and blog do as much as humanly possible. Unlike my friends like JMac and Andy who actually...

Road Warrior

Many of those of you who know me know and tease me about the fact that I hate driving.
