Reality, the Future, and the Joys of Denial
… Or, an entry where I don’t talk about the web or a content management system. Tomorrow I begin my last semester of college. I will be a college graduate in May. I have the most cliche problem in the world. I have no idea what to do with my life. I am good at school. I am great at school. I just have no idea what I’m supposed to do after I’m done with school. So...

Mephisto -- First Impressions
So I have been spending a little time playing with Mephisto, a very promising rails CMS. Here are some initial observations… It has sections, just like TextPattern. However, Mephisto itself seems to be a bit confused about what a section actually is. Is a section a category? Is a section a separate website section?

Lists Are Fun
Lists are so much more fun to write. I’m not sure if it is a good thing or not, but most likely most of my posts will be in list format. I’m going to make a WordPress theme from scratch. Hacking a theme was great for learning about how WordPress works, but I want to make a cleaner and leaner theme that I can (hopefully) use as a basis for future layouts. I think it will make future...

Lather Rinse Repeat '07 -- So Fresh and So Clean
Well it has been almost a year, but Lather Rinse Repeat is back! Yay! Back with a new layout run on a new CMS. I just finished. I am getting quite sleepy. This is not completely done, of course, but it is certainly close enough. It is messy and although it validated through the software I used, it probably won’t validate on the web yet. So, here it is, as buggy and messy as possible. ...
