Oh, no, here it comes
Since I’m the only person left in my friend circle that doesn’t play World of Warcraft, I fear for my life now that Blizzard is offering a free month to whomever gets someone new to sign up.

Reflex
On my trip to Paris I lost the book that my boss loaned me, On Intelligence. Not too bright, eh? It was written by Jeff Hawkins, the guy who invented the PalmPilot, and was all about his thoughts on how the mind worked. I read a good portion of it on the train into Philly, and my opinion is that he really hasn’t thought it through well enough yet. From what I read, there’s no proof that any of what he says is true.
So after I lost that book (I forgot to pick it up after I laid it down at the currency exchange counter), I bought a new book to wait out the time. A novel called Reflex by Stephen Gould. It wasn’t too bad.
WordPress Plugin Retreads
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything WordPress-ish, and I figured it’s about time to get back into the swing, now that some contract work is coming to a close and I’ll have some “free” time. (Incidentally, I’d much rather be working for the dolla’s. We’ve been so busy that our Shimmer Studio site is still incomplete, but if you need some creative development work done email me!)
Through the work I’ve been doing for clients, I’ve noticed that some of my plugins could use some dusting off and reconditioning, especially in preparation for the WordPress 1.6 launch, which doesn’t seem too far off now. I’m going to guess that by sometime around Thanksgiving we’ll see a public beta.
So my question to you is this: What plugin would you most like to see upgraded or enhanced for the 1.6 release?
America Has No Bread
I’ve gone to Wegmans twice since I’ve been back from France, looking for pastries and bread.
After watching many Parisians walking through their city munching on just a loaf of bread, I wondered what the deal was. So on my final day in Paris, on my way to the airport, I stopped in a shop and fumbled through the French that would get me some kind of baguette. Boy, was that tasty.
I carried half the large loaf all the way back to the States with me. Berta tried some, Abby tried some, and even Riley tried some. I think it was probably a little stale by the time they got to it, but it was still pretty tasty. And so I thought I would go to the only place that I know to create pastries anything like what I had seen in France to pick up something in the morning.
But unfortunately, America has no bread.
