It is Well

.

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

– It Is Well With My Soul.

OOP and tables

.

I’m still struggling to understand the concept of classes and object-oriented programming in PHP. This is tough stuff. I’m also coming to terms with the fact that, for certain design objectives — non-graphic tabbed menus among them — HTML table hacks, in tandem with CSS box properties, retain certain advantages over pure CSS-based design, for fast and convenient markup, as well as for cross-browser compatibility.

Coolest Guy in Japan

.

Genta Ogami — the Coolest Guy in Japan.

G. Cosmos Japan is believed to have collected 48 billion yen from about 12,000 people seeking to invest in the advertisement business. Company documents, however, show that the company has failed to pay 20 billion yen to at least 7,000 clients.

Many investors were middle-aged or elderly individuals desperately seeking to make the most of their money at a time of low interest rates.

Mutiny Charges

.

As if their vested interests and political bias were not blatant enough: Jake Macasaet of Malaya, and Ninez Cacho-Olivarez and Herman Tiu Laurel of the Tribune, (both heavily pro-Erap newspapers, almost to the point of drooling) are filing mutiny charges against Edsa II military leaders. Let’s all say it together now: “ZERO JOURNALISTIC CREDIBILITY.”

Motor Toothbrush?

.

Anyone have feedback on how well those little motorized toothbrushes run? I almost bought myself a Braun-Oral-B power toothbrush at the drugstore today, but I was unnerved by the price tag and settled for a traditional CVS medium-bristle diamond-head with an extended plaque-fighting tip. I like it. The plaque-fighting tip works quite well.

Gunmen Carousing in Bethlehem

.

Compare and contrast behavior of Palestinian civilians and gunmen while they were holed up in the Church of the Nativity. (Of course, one must consider the question of conservative bias on the link-source’s part.)

Gaydar

.

Since I live and work in the area of Dupont Circle — the “Castro District” of Washington, DC — it’s necessary at all times to have a working Gaydar. (This one doesn’t seem to work too well, though. Now my Palm tells me everyone is gay. Including myself. A faerie queen, to be specific.)
