A friend of mine sent me this today, and I found it amusing:

"Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

This might be a fairly obscure reference, but it works for me, and it makes me happy. If you've seen the show LOST, there was an episode where the enigmatic character Ben (coincidence) was describing the Island to Locke. Paraphrasing, he said something like "On this Island, there is a box, a very big box, and whatever you want, it will give it to you." Now, I'm sure that someone with a better memory of the finer dialogue will correct me, but that's the idea. He was basically describing this concept of the Island "knowing" what you desired, using the box as a metaphor.

Note: I'm no longer using the Zen theme, as of 05/25/09, only because I felt the need for a change. :) This is still a relatively unmodified theme straight from the Drupal site. I still agree with my own thoughts below on the Zen and Garland themes.

Q: If I'm doing so much stuff with Drupal, why does my own site look like a stock theme?

This has got to be the BEST and coolest Drupal site I have worked on thus far. If you like tattoos, or just want to see something that's just a little bit different than the typical Drupal layout, check out: seemyink.com. Very very very cool!

Three notes walk into a bar, a G, an Eb, and a C.

The bartender looks up and says "We don't serve minors."

So the Eb leaves and the other two have a fifth between them.

After a few drinks, the G was out flat, and the whole experience was diminished.

Eventually, the C sobers up, sees one of his friends missing, the other one passed out, and a policeman standing over him. And to his horror he realizes that he's under a rest.

You've got to be kidding me. You've really just got to be kidding me. Is this some sort of joke? Or are the Judges just trying to mess with people's minds? Are they bored, and just putting through acts they think would be funny? Whatever the case, it's not working.

I'm going to admit it right up front here. I didn't watch all 24 hours (or whichever) of the video segments on msn.com, but I did watch most of what was broadcast on TV, and I watched the bits that they left out online.

And with that, I really like the idea that the guys over at MSN are keeping the content up for us all to view. Yes, I realize that they're making money off of it either directly, or indirectly, but it does cost a lot of money in servers and bandwidth to support that kind of streaming media, so it's nice to be able to jump back and check it out.

Ok, so this is a Drupal site. Drupal has some nice features, and some nice modules. It appeals to my inner geek. I know that there are basically two major CMS camps out there at the moment: Drupal and Joomla. I have now had the opportunity to use both. I recently had a project that I wanted to use a CMS for, and I tried implementing the same site in both systems.
