Check out this clip from Kung Fu from Beyond the Grave (1982), between the terrible dubbing, ridiculous effects, and zombies vs. Dracula “action,” it is simply impossible not to love it:
Thanks to the great Brad Efford for thinking of me on this one, and if you haven’t seen his Daily inTune series, it comes highly [...]

I’m just unwinding from a full day at THATCamp 09 hosted by GMU’s CHNM, and I truly find it odd how much I have been mentally gushing about this event. In fact, it’s really not my style, I usually have some crack or other to make about a conference or event, but [...]

bbPress is finally moving towards 1.0, and it looks like it may get there quickly. The tutorial that I wrote up about integrating WPMU, BuddyPress, and bbPress was actually for bbPress Alpha, so I took the time to update today.

Well, we are swinging back into full development mode at DTLT, and UMW Blogs looms large on the agenda. I’ve been playing around with BuddyPress for the last week or so, and I finally got it installed and the integration working between BuddyPress, WPMu 2.7.1, and bbPress, but there is one big fail: the Multi-DB [...]
