Where Are The Wise Men?

Thomas Herold took a survey of a bunch of WordPress plugins and created the post "The Five Wordpress Plugins You Want".

I already had one of them — the WP-Amazon plugin  is really cool.  I grabbed the Google Sitemap plugin and now I have this blog on in Google Sitemaps!  I also grabbed the WYSIWYG editor.  [...]

These were taken by a friend of ours who is a professional photographer. Leah and Gina joined her at Walnut Grove Park a couple of weeks ago and shot these pictures. The main album has the unedited pictures and there is an album with the edited ones, including some that have some photoshop [...]

A few weeks ago, my manager asks me, “Have you done anything with Oracle 10g?”

Me: “Um, no. It just came out.”

Manager: “Well, can you get a copy of the installation stuff? We may be needing it soon.”

I’m really getting into podcasts now — can’t you tell?

Poptech’s “The Future of Africa Roundtable” Part 1 and Part 2 was really good.  It seems to be the last event at Poptech 2005 and the first one that IT Conversations posted — probably to tease us on what is coming. [...]

I was a bit excited when I found ChristianPodder.com but I got to be disappointed.

 The site requires Flash.  Never a good first impression.
    It doesn’t do RSS — instead you have to download their sync tool, which downloads your queue and moves [...]

Page Stats interest me and, now that this blog as been up in a while, I can do a decent survey on it. Hopefully, I will start doing this the beginning of every month.

The About Mike and Colophon pages are the most popular and that makes sense to me — most visitors here will [...]
