Why haven't you voted for truthiness yet?
Are you a terrorist? Do you hate America? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of those questions and you’re reading my blog then just get the hell out. I don’t want your kind here. For the America-loving, patriotic readers of mine, I urge you to go vote ‘truthiness’ for the 2006 word of the year at Merriam-Webster’s site. God bless.

Slacker
Here’s some things I’ve been meaning to write about for a few weeks: My work retreat to Mt. Magazine in the Ozarks How I’ve completed 1 month of weight lifting and what I’ve learned (I’m done with the 5th week… it’s a short one due to Thanksgiving) Second Life I’ll get to them at some point :)

Stone Ward in Expansion Mode
This is a pretty cool article in Arkansas Business about the company I work for: After years of growth, Stone Ward is – and has been for years – the No. 2 advertising agency in Arkansas measured by both number of employees and capitalized billing. The No. 1 spot belongs to Cranford Johnson Robinson Woods of Little Rock. But in the last year, Stone Ward has made a push to take over the top...

T-A-N-GO
Jacqui and me attended our very first beginner’s Tango lesson last night at the Chicago Dance Club on Huron. It was a lot of fun and it was surprisingly easy to figure out the basic moves. We’ve got a great group of people in the class and we’re moving pretty quickly says the instructor. We’re going to class every Monday for the next 5 weeks so I’ll be sure to post some updates with whatever...

The Django Book Chapter 3: The basics of dynamic...
The guys follow up on their promise, here’s chapter 3: In the previous chapter, we explained how to set up a Django project and run the Django development server. Of course, that site doesn’t actually do anything useful yet — all it does is display the “It worked!” message. Let’s change that. This chapter introduces how to create dynamic Web pages with Django....

Running multiple Django projects on WebFaction
I needed this info a while back and I’m tired of keeping it as a URL on my desktop: You can easily run multiple Django projects within the same Apache/mod_python instance. To do so, put all your Django projects under the same webapp (for instance: $HOME/webapps/django/project1, $HOME/webapps/django/project2, .etc.). URI: Running multiple Django sites from the same Apache/mod_python...

Presenting... Ars Lounge Feedjack
For a while, an Ars forum denizen named Hanser was running a nice Ars Lounge planet installation over at his domain. About a month ago it dies (as often happens with Planets) and he’s not fixed it. Sick of it being broken (and I know he knows it’s broken) I took matters into my own hands. I registered arslounge.com I downloaded Feedjack (a planet-like aggregator written in Django) I...
