Christmas is in five days and I have procured two (2) presents. I launched Frisbase yesterday. I estimate a few hundred Los Angeles players will be using it by the end of the month. It is not done. Seattle experienced a terrible windstorm last Thursday night. Continuing a December trend, Sparkle Motion felt the brunt [...]
A good number of people have been e-mailing me and leaving comments asking for my code for Lightbox with Quicktime. I finally found a spare moment and stuck all the related files in an archive for easy grabbing.

The code all still works as I describe it, it's just not running on my site. Take me to the movie theatre! I just finished tweaking this in preparation for Claire [...]
I was working on Frisbase this morning and encountered the need to calculate a user's age from his or her birthday, as stored in the MySQL date format.
