Good points, Matt.

Just because I have a lot of time invested in WordPress doesn't mean I won't try other platforms. I really have nothing against Drupal either.

Given that I have accumulated some knowledge on WordPress, I hope to use this forum to help other WordPress users with a tip once a week (with several of those tips coming from you!)

Not surprisingly, I have to disagree with your comments about WordPress. We have built 70+ page sites on WordPress without issue and extended it with ease to do a lot more than what many people perceive about WordPress. In addition, our clients find it very easy to pick up and use.

I'm not saying Drupal is a poor alternative because I have limited experience with it. The experiece I do have with it is somewhat negative from a user perspective, but maybe I was working with an older version. It just did not seem as intuitive to me.

Regardless, I am fairly platform agnostic, and if there is an opportunity to try another platform, I will. However, we have been very successful with WordPress by meeting and exceeding the needs of many organizations for sites that are much larger than 5 pages.

Looks like I might be able to help you out with some video transfer this winter.

I find the Tumblarity concept quite idiotic. Your flashbacks are right on.

Re: Does Michael Vick Deserve a Second Chance?

vtwick — Fri, 22 May 2009 09:54:03 -0000

Good article Gary, and I agree with your points about Little and Stallworth, but that's an issue with our legal system and the NFL reinstatement policies. As far as Vick goes, I think it would be fairer to compare his sentence with others who committed similar horrible acts. I'd be curious to see that data.

Personally, I don't believe Little or Stallworth should (have) ever played again. I'm on the fence with Vick. It does make me sick to think he could be making millions again a few years after doing jail time for killing dogs. I'm not a PETA-lover, but it just doesn't seem right.

We ended up getting home a little after 1 A.M. Chicago time. Not ideal, but at least we got home safe.

Yikes. What time did you get home finally?

From phish.net:
During which the band chants, "Bring in the Dude!", referring not to Steve Pollak but to Trey, as there was apparently a jovial dispute about who the real "Dude of Life" is. Fish calls on Mike to "bring in the Dude" and the band stops and lets Mike play a crazy, effect-laden bass solo. Then Trey asks Fish to let him "bring in the Dude". Fishman lets him, and bands stops to let Trey play a wah-wah solo. Then Page "brings in the Dude" with the clavinet. Fish doesn't "bring in the Dude".

I wasn't there though.

Well put. I agree. The analytics are interesting, but this whole movement towards a popularity contest is pretty useless.
