Wordpress 1.5.1.1 bug exposed today!

Looks like wordpress has an off-by-one-date bug regarding Rewrite rules for the /feed URLs. I’m not sure what it is, nor am I going to track it down, but it is present.
Without this post, the rss feed fails. With this post, it works. It has to do with today’s date and how [...]

Moo

Here are two observations from last night based on the phrase: “Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?”
“I’m not going to buy the cow if I can’t at least sample the milk to make sure its okay.”
“I’m not going to buy the cow if its FUCKING CRAZY”

If your hose is too short or your pump is too weak…

The mat under the urinal, which goes by the name of “hygoMat by hygolet“, appeared in the men’s bathroom on our floor this week. I’ll spare you from what the hygoMat does, its marketing page can help you with that.
However, it makes me wonder, do the men on my floor have aiming issues or [...]

I still think he’s insane

My friend Joe is San Francisco County’s Bike Commuter of the Year. He wrote about it on Google’s blog.

There is a fight this Saturday night at the United Center: Brewster vs. Golota. Supposedly its the first professional fight in Chicago in some long amount of time.
So, I’m sitting around coding and we’re hearing some screaming from out on Michigan Ave. We hear stuff like that all the time being located where [...]

Geeky Internet Fan-boy moment of the day

Out on Michigan Ave I finally ran into Rachelle of rachelleb.com and chicagoist fame while she was covering an event for chicagoist (and maybe for her own blog as well.) Her camera is what convinced me it was her.
I introduced myself and said what a fan I was. She remembered me from some [...]

The misnamed Elgin-O’Hare might only be half misnamed!

From today’s Chicago Tribune: Deal is reached to build western access to O’Hare
Chicago and three other government bodies will announce a formal agreement Tuesday to move forward on building a western-access roadway into O’Hare International Airport, according to transportation officials.
The agreement calls for extending the Elgin-O’Hare Expressway into the airport, but only after [...]

RIP, Baby the cat

Tonight while we were settling down to watch TV, Baby, our beloved cat, passed away. I’ll update this post later with more details, but about an hour ago, he unexpectedly left us while sitting on Sarah’s lap.
Just as a note to our friends, Sarah doesn’t really want to talk yet. So, [...]

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me.

Fiction and reality merge again!
From The Big Lebowski:
Walter Sobchak: You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me.
The Dude: Yeah, but Walter…
Walter Sobchak: Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish.
From reality:
‘The [...]
