Excerpts from Previous Posts

Buddha said all life is suffering. Buddha was a web master. I am but a web worm, inching my way through copious amounts of code that drop like crumbs from great masters’ lips as they devour mountains of php, xml, and cold fusion as mere midnight snacks washed down with a cup of hot javascript. But if I meet Buddha on the path up Jenga Myass, I will kill him.
