Send any questions you have about food, or programming in PHP, MYSQL, DHTML to tmiskin@gmail.com and I will blog it. And I mean any question.
For full disclosure, I know the owner of weightlosswars.com well, though I have no financial or other interest in the company at all. In fact, while I am signed up for the service I haven’t used it for my own weight loss because I enjoy just doing things on my own. However, I [...]
So this weekend has been pretty tough with my alma mater’s basketball team losing in the NCAA tourney and a few other random things, but luckily when I got home I saw a new flavor of Doritos on our fridge. Apparently Wild White Nacho is a part of a competition Doritos is having for a [...]
We all love to see ? or ^A characters in our webpages. This comes usually from smart quotes or fancy apostrophes in Word being pasted into our webpages. By default webpages are rendered in ISO 8859-1 encoding. Over the last year I have learned how to get around about every possible reason for this in [...]
I was thinking about my blog over the weekend and wondering how I could focus it in certain areas to make it more effective and I decided to split it into two subjects. Food and recipes, and code help and reviews. So I don’t get bored, I am just going to go every other day [...]
I know most of the stuff I am going to talk about is available in the other popular javascript libraries, but I also know the philosophy and method behind jQuery is great and that the documentation is superb.

With the rise of Ruby on Rails, the combination of Prototype and Scriptaculous (yes I know I forgot those stupid periods) has become very popular. I downloaded the libraries to use on my php sites and there was just something about them that didn’t fit well with me. They also seemed really bloated. I searched [...]
I have watched over the past year or two how almost every fellow “super nerd” has moved from Utah Valley for jobs elsewhere. In fact, I found that there is a massive shortage of quality developers/engineers here and it isn’t getting better. Here are my thoughts on why this is, and I think [...]
I know you are trying to hide your excitement. It’s all right, I understand. Prizzles.com is now live and in ultra beta. What is it? Well, put simply it is a site for sudoku and other puzzle lovers. Right now there are unlimited sudoku puzzles and a cool word search wizard, but I will be [...]
I occasionally watch Saturday Night Live, and one skit that is often shown is an ultra modern family whose house is designed all in white with crazy “ergonomic” furniture as well as other things. The last time I watched it I realized just how similiar their design is to Apple’s. Now don’t get me wrong, [...]
