Over the past week or so I’ve been a little too obsessed with Cookie Clicker. It’s an awesome little JavaScript-based game and I can’t just leave it alone. I’m at a point in the game where it takes hours before I can buy the next item I’m looking for. Just out of curiousity, I was […]
Sometime soon I’ll write a bit on my new-ish philosophy about code samples. For now it’s enough to say that I’m cleaning out that section of my site but there’s one project I wanted to keep documented, so I’m writing it up here and now even though the code is from 2005. The “Opening Night […]
Over the last couple weeks I’ve spent some time playing around with Chrome development and Google Hangout extensions. Nothing revolutionary by any means but there were a couple interesting things I came across that I figured I’d share out.

Note: This post was updated on March 4, 2021, to replace references to outdated code. I’d been using the relatively-awesome TwitterOAuth library by Abraham Williams for quite some time to handle interactions between my sites and Twitter’s REST API v1. With Twitter having eliminated v1 of the API, I started looking into other options. It’s […]
This is something I put together and never wrote up, so I might as well do so now. Snagit by TechSmith is one of my favorite programs; I love being able to share what I’m seeing on my screen with collaborators and clients for easy comparisons with what they’re seeing. With Snagit, there are several […]
Just had an interesting SQL question dropped in my lap, figured I’d share the results since it was something I assumed was possible but actually ended up working exactly as I expected, for once. A friend has a system that he uses to track what baseball uniforms were worn in each game. Each game has […]
