Quick Thoughts on WordPress 3.0 Beta

A few days ago I installed the current beta release for WordPress 3.0 (WP3), which is scheduled for general release in the next few weeks. I wanted to see what the “gotchas” might be as well as get a head start on getting my themes up to snuff. Here are some of my impressions with getting things up and running.

TV Execs, Don’t Be Afraid of TV Couples Coupling

Some show has a couple with chemistry…except they aren’t a couple. Their non-couple status is teased season after season. Why? Because we have to remember what happened to Moonlighting. It’s time we give it a rest. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that the Moonlighting excuse has out-lived its warranty period.

Armchair Script Doc: Deadly Honeymoon

We watch a movie featuring one of our favorite actors and it simply doesn’t quite work. I find that most of the time the problems can be traced back to the shooting script (not necessarily the script the writer actually intended). The movie I’m taking a look at this time: Deadly Honeymoon starring Summer Glau and Zoe McLellan.

T I B Passages

I sit here contemplating how this website, T I B, is going to change in the coming months. As with all things, change is inevitable. Some choose to look on change with dread. Some choose to look on it as an opportunity.

The Connor Wars Writer’s Room 35 – That Was Nifty

It’s been a very long year. It was an exhausting year, both physically and mentally. And I can’t remember having more fun playing–ever–than with TCW. I’ve described it as being like having a birthday or Xmas everyday for a year.

The Connor Wars Writer’s Room 34 – Ask Your Questions in the Comments

As I expected, with the finale being posted, there are a lot of questions getting asked. Many of them I’ve expected. Some are new. Since I’m now in a place where there aren’t spoilers I need to be wary about, please ask away. It can be about the finale or anything about the series. I’ll answer what I know in soon-to-come posts/vlogs/podcasts.

The Connor Wars Writer’s Room 33 – The Cam and Cat Factors

There’s been discussion in the forum about the natures of the main robots, Cameron Phillips and Catherine Weaver. This is obviously something I really had to make decisions about before I even started writing The Connor Wars.

Are We Losing Fewer?

I’m seeing it more and more: “less” being used in places where “fewer” should be. I can understand the occasional misuse, but I’m seeing it throughout the Internet and in some magazines and newspaper articles as well as advertisements. We may have transitioned from misuse of “less” being bad grammar into the realm of it being a change of word use.

What’s So Special About UConn? Nothing, Really.

The University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball team’s record now stands at 74-0 double-digit wins and counting. The amazing thing is that this sort of dominance isn’t unusual for the Huskies. It makes you wonder: factoring the talent, the tactics, the defenses, what’s so special about UConn? The truth is, not that much.
