Little Bit, a young Eastern Box Turtle was hit by a car in September of 2000. Her shell was crushed and she was left partially paralyzed. There was no way she would ever be released to the wild as happens with most successful rehabs. I repaired her shell using velcro strips epoxied to anchor points [...]
Joe Posnanski: Way more than you wanted on retired numbers
Way more than you wanted on retired numbers:
Whew. I’m not going to lie to you; when I mocked the notion of the Yankees retiring Paul O’Neill’s number, I was not fully aware of just what kind of jersey-retiring fetish they have going there in the Bronx. I mean, hey, I was a huge Ron Guidry [...]
The World’s Scariest Runways
The World’s Scariest Runways | Travel + Leisure:
There’s a sobering saying among pilots: ‘Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.’ And it’s not until you fly into places like Paro, or Toncontìn Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, that the adage starts to make sense. Both are surrounded by mountains, and Toncontìn has [...]
Twitter Bares the Soul
One of the cool things about twitter is its honesty. While a blog post is often meticulously shaped to present a desired image a comment sent to twitter is more likely to be an unedited view of the writer’s opinions.
In a recent post on scripting.com Dave Winer wrote:
To equate geography with intellect is as wrong [...]

Jon Gruber recently returned to Safari from Firefox. His comparison of the two browsers is [...]
Gene Watson at Farmers’ Opry
I took my mother to see Gene Watson at the Farmers’ Opry last night. I’m a fan of any musical genre done well. Country music is no exception, though I prefer traditional over the newer pop country (basically top-40 music with a slight twang). Watson, similar in style to George Jones or Merle Haggard, brought [...]
Software Reviews and Objectivity
Shawn Blanc has recently been making a name for himself in the Apple community with extensive reviews of his favorite mac applications. Among the applications reviewed was NetNewsWire; the most popular desktop newsreader on the mac platform. NetNewsWire was developed by Brent Simmons and is now owned by NewsGator.
Recently, NewsFire, the second most popular [...]
NetNewsWire, NewsFire, and Google Reader
When I switched to the mac NetNewsWire (an rss reader) was the first application I bought for my new iBook. If you believed the talk heads (and as a new mac convert I read them all) it was an easy choice. No other reader was comparable, none as worthy. To be honest, it was rare [...]
Switching to WordPress (and other changes)
When I decided to write again I chose TextPattern to publish teamryan. The only other CMS I considered was WordPress. After comparing the two I felt confident in my decision. I was wrong.
I still love TextPattern, and I’m sad to leave. I spent many hours learning TextPattern’s tag system and was happy with the results. [...]
