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

The Oakland Symphony Chorus and our Haydn workshop participants are perfoming a recital of Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass at the Cathedral of Christ the Light in uptown Oakland.

The show is free (donation requested), and I think that Dr Rudy de Vos (music director of the cathedral) will be playing some organ pieces as well.

I was asked to create a video content type for a site with the following requirements:

• Support for browser, iPad, and iPhone
• Fit video to browser width onLoad and onResize
• Autoplay, no controls
• Configurable thumbnail/poster image
• Host videos on-site (not external embed)

I was more or less completely ignorant about HTML5 video, and how it's supported in Drupal 6.

A chef google mashup recipe. These fellows freeze well, and you can go straight from freezer to fryer...

Hey! National Corndog Day 2011 is March 19th!

Woot.

The site finally got a redesign. It has a lot of pretty elements, and is an infinite improvement over the previous site (a totally undesigned clone of pushbutton) but still has some big design flaws (especially the middle vertical scroller) that are fixable, but I have bigger fish to fry first...

I'm not an originalist

Also Bittman. We're adding more yeast, more salt, nuts, olive oil to the basic recipe, and using a loaf pan.

I had some semolina in the pantry that needed to be used up. This is in the syrup soaked pound cake genre.

The Oakland Symphony Chorus (who I sing with) is performing Brahms's German Requiem with the Oakland East Bay Symphony later this month. It's pretty epic music.

CMS are often categorized by the use-cases they cover, usually grouped by "complexity". So we see a lot of CMS taxonomies that bucket products into "Enterprise/Small Business" or "Simple/Medium/Complex".

Here's a typical taxonomy takes both complexity and the Product vs Platform axis into account.

Getting back into Drupal work after a long hiatus, I had an epiphany about how developers choose CMS (or maybe more generally, how makers choose tools).
