How to Be a Productive Procrastinator was the topic at hand on Talk of the Nation on June 12, 2008. Rationalizing our dawdling, Neal Conan lead a discussion about the latest on procrastination from Timothy Pychyl, blogger of Don’t Delay on Psychology Today and professor of psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, and John Perry, self-professed structured procrastinator, co-host of the Philosophy Talk podcast, and professor of philosophy at Stanford University. Two of my personal favorite procrastinators are Douglas Adams and Mark Twain.
Happiness is the product of the pursuit of your goals. Is procrastination a negative or positive force in your life?

“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.” -Mark Twain
PHP::Impact recently named sixteen PHP open source applications that have “changed the world” including two of my all-time favorite, much loved, and long used web phenomenons, WordPress and Gallery. Ten years running is a long time for the popular, pragmatic,
database-wielding phpMyAdmin to have been in high demand—I had no idea phpMyAdmin had been around that long. I am also very impressed to see Magento eCommerce on the list since it just came out of beta this March. So far, Magento is getting rave reviews and a few complaints. It will be interesting to see how these projects continue to evolve and change take over the world.

Whoa. Google has updated their favicon. And since I’m afflicted with tabitis, it kind of threw me for a loop. I must admit I kind of like the old one better.

Oranges, grapes, grasses, and poppies. I seriously love California Poppies.
First day in Sonoma was filled with yummy breakfast, tasty wines, and walking around a bit in the (unfortunately) 100 degree weather.
