The Magic School Bus Explores the Internet
![[Insert random horribly awful internet pun] ...CARLOS!](/images/thumb_b/329blog_magic_internet.jpg)
Had a conversation with my buddy Justin today about working on websites where the code is 9 different levels of jacked up.

Sean: And It's going to be Mrs. Frizzle taking the kids through the internet Sean: and they're g ...

Twitter protected accounts
There is nothing more disappointing than reading my friends respond to people on twitter, and I go to the person's page who they are replying to in order to get context of what my friend is replying to, only to get served with the big fat: This person has protected their updates. You need to send a request before you can start following this person. Total conve ...

Top 10 Overrated Albums of 2008
In this post, I will list the top 10 overrated albums that everyone keeps insisting I should totally love. Keep in mind I've made a legitimate effort to find a number of these enjoyable, but have been unable to stomach. No links or sample MP3s for this list because odds are you already have each of these and have tried to convince me I am so very wrong. So without ...

Say Bless You
Today, I sneezed in my office about 6 or 7 times and no one said "bless you". I posted this to twitter and what do you know, a slew of bless you's and gazoontite's. Thanks everyone! PS: I made this post while rendering. Ah, multi-tasking.

Internet Explorer and Disabling Javascript
I do not intend to start a Browser War, or a Mac vs. PC crusade, but I was amazed when I discovered how deep in IE's menu's to disable javascript. Tools->Internet Options->Security Tab->Internet->Custom Level->Scripting->Active Scripting->Disable They don't even use the word Javascript, which makes it extra difficult to find, in my opinion. Google lead me to thi ...

Frustrations with Disqus and openID
Over the weekend, I started to look into Disqus.com, which is a commenting system for sites which supports openID. Unfortunately I have yet to be able to sign up with them as I do not want to create yet another new account with a service. They support multiple openID providers, such as wordress.com, which I already have an account for. This should be easy, right?
