The Worst Thing in the World ...worst practices...

I've been trying to work up the courage to boo when there's a standing ovation that isn't deserved, but even though the goal is to bring down the average appreciation to something more reasonable it seems mean, and dishonest (unless it really was a bad performance).

My new suggestion is to turn upside in your chair and wave your feet in the air.

Fortune rota. This was my second piece with the OSC and also my last. Almost a perfect circle.

Here's a review from the Benicia Herald.

It was a totally sold-out show, possibly due to the presence of the Oakland Youth Orchestra *and* the Oakland Youth Chorus. You know you're going to get a standing ovation when mom is in the audience.

NCD 2012 is just around the corner! It falls on St. Patricks Day this year. March 17th is the most dangerous corndog day - two holidays that promote binge drinking on the same day is double-trouble, and the resulting vomit is more likely to be green.

We've got a very patriotic theme for this election year, and party pack pre-orders are on sale now at corndogday.com.

After a long incubation, the ThoughtWorks Studios redesign has launched.

This project was a from-scratch rebuild of an existing Drupal site. The primary goals of the project were a major UI update and reorganization of content types/relationships to support a more structured presentation of content, and to make it easier for content editors to make updates.

I'm launching my first project that uses Features heavily, and I've run into some of the limitations discussed in this post by Bill at Funny Monkey.

Bill talks about the difficulties in deploying multiple sites from a set of Features, and then keeping those sites in sync with the Feature as it evolves, and how that process is incompatible with Drupal's goal of making it possible for non-technical content admins to do more things.

Rationalization

It seems like everyone in Buenos Aires who owns a dog and lives in an apartment has a dog walker to take their dogs out every day. You constantly see dog walkers in the street with 10 or 20 dogs, all on separate leashes, walking around perfectly happily. Many more dogs that would be considered safe or responsibile for dog walkers in the US.

The Oakland Symphony Chorus is performing in the Oakland East Bay Symphony's annual Let Us Break Bread Together concert on Sunday, December 11, 4PM at the Paramount in Oakland.

This concert is a fun, cheesy, ecumenical holiday concert with a bunch of different vocal groups crammed together on stage. Joan Baez is guest starring (if she doesn't fall out of her treehouse again this year...)

Welcome back to the n of 1 institute.

In this episode we'll be comparing crock pot cooking with gas oven cooking. Specifically we'll be comparing my electric crock pot with my gas oven - so it's really an n of ME analysis! n of ME is even less useful than n of 1. Cool! We're going to aim at comparing carbon footprint, but will also touch on a straight comparison of "energy", and a price comparison.
