So, he arrives here with his beautiful car out front, with the driver's door wide open. I say my goodbye's to the family and head out to th...

"Posting Forms to Sessions" - Trick

Any web developer who has been in the craft for more than a couple of days realizes how often forms are used in web development. Well... Where forms are used, form methods are used, and one of the crazily irritating problems with forms using a "POST" method is the fact that when the "back" button is pressed after lea...

Building a Computer
PoeticIntensity
I guess I just take for granted all the tips 'n' tricks I've learned over the past 10 years I've been building my own systems (along with most of my family's and friend's computers), so with that thought, let me try to explain how I build computers.
First off, this article is intended for those people who are not necessarily tech-wizards, but ar...

Growing up, I'd have to say that I was a bit of a pious punk religiously, but I was so due, in large amount, to my being incredibly naive.
To demonstrate my naive-ness, I really thought that being emotional was pretty much the same as being spiritual. Yes... Believe it. I was naive.

Not much to write about on this chapter... Lots of backbiting, hatred, slaying of kin, destruction of entire civilizations due to war, living in righteousness and prospering because of it. Poisonous serpents, famine, more death, repentance, and just the general way the people live within the pride cycle.
Not a bad chapter, but n...

Very interesting that they took the time to tell us that Ammon not only rehearsed what King Benjamin said to the Nephites, but that he then explained it to them that they might understand it. Not sure why that struck me this time, but it did. (verse 3)

When I sit and think about what I just read, the 14th chapter of 1st Nephi is pretty crazy.

I believe it's written here to clarify the impact this (these) church(es) has (have) had upon the plain and...

Honest living of the Gospe...
