Fights break out between two ethnic groups in China North Korea launches 4 short-range missiles in ‘provocative’ test Honduras Stages a Coup? Ok. I’m done looking up new stories…there’s something else…

    I am currently enjoying the following: 1. Messing around with what I’m calling the “Geekitopia” theme …if you come to my site regularly…you can see it’s changing pretty frequently. I am building a back-end to this theme that gives the user the ability to select color schemes. It’s pretty sweet. I’ll probably release it fairly…

    I am a big fan of Zombie movies…but not ALL Zombie movies. A lot of really crappy movies are made under this genre, much like Christian movies, or inspirational titles…seems like people are willing to endure a bad movie if it falls under a very niche genre. But I digress. Below is a list of…
