Also, because I lack a comprehensive bookmark management system these days: http://www.thebaffler.com/past/the_long_con/print. I don’t expect many of my right-leaning acquaintances will enjoy reading this so you have been forewarned. The project? A wiki that documents the web of connections between movement conservatives and their dealings in the marketplace. There would also have to be some…
The Romney campaign’s web site is coded with a bit of an open loop. It makes sense from a dynamically generated website perspective I guess. However, it’s also the sort of thing that lazy RESTful programming gets you. The idea being that you have a template that is populated by values from a data store…

I’ve spent a few minutes this morning mucking with the PHP behind this blog for the first time in forever. Notes: I still hate PHP. It so easily facilitates mixing code and output that even if you’re doing your best to avoid that kind of crappy behavior, you can’t help but do it. Not fighting…
