All McCain’s Base

I wouldn’t have mentioned it, except I ran across this quote: I don’t care if footage of Obama snorting coke off Scarlett Johansson‘s boobs surfaces […]

Generic scaling

“But one of the reasons we’re very lucky is our engineering team has selected to use PHP as the primary development language. That allows us to use a fairly generic server type.

So I was trying to figure out why this twitter about my Keynote bothered me so: “@tychay apparently serving red meat to the faithful at #phptek proving there are language Nazis on both sides. […]
