Doing your entire site in Movable Type
Two great articles out this week about managing your entire site through MT. One article from Matt Haughey, and another one from Brad Choate.
Matt’s article discusses a few approaches to using MT(Movable Type) to manage an entire site’s content, one using index templates to generate static content, and (even more interestingly) using MT(Movable Type) [...]

Bandwagon
Couple of quick updates:
I made a few changes to templates on the site, including using the very cool MTOtherBlog plugin from David Raynes to cross-list new posts from the new Medium Archive on this page, and vice-versa. I’ve also been using the beta release of MT-Textile 2, which has a bunch of new features [...]

Morning Commute™, Now With 33% Less Swamp-Ass®

Attention, Fuckwads
When a traffic light is out (due to a storm or other mechanical problems), the intersection becomes like there’s a 4-way stop sign there. No exceptions. I’m sure you’re in a huge hurry to get to your crap-ass minimum wage job, and I’m also sure that because you watch NASCAR you feel you [...]
