You provide the acronym, we'll make up the meaning!
I've written a PHP script I call a "Backronym Generator". The purpose of this script is for the user to enter a word that is intended to be the resulting abbreviation of an acronym, and upon submission the script will "make up" the acronym's constituent component words.
For instance, if you enter the word: TEST
The result might be:
Trident Earache Stabbed Twang
(This really was once generated by the script)
You can try out the script here:
And you can get your hands on the source code here:

Last weekend I upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard, and one thing that doesn't seem to work with Leopard is GrowlMail* (a Growl Extra). After missing Growl Notifications for Mail.app a lot, I decided to search for a solution. After some googling, I found this on Kevin Way's blog:
"I wanted a simple system that would notify me whenever I received an e-mail from somebody "important", but not for every new message that hit my inbox."
"I tried GrowlMail and Mail.Appetizer, but found them both unsatisfactory. I finally decided that what I really wanted was a growl message to appear for messages from selected recipients. Something with the name and the subject of the e-mail, like this..."
This seemed a lot like what I needed, with the exception of the only receiving notifications when email from "important" people arrived part. So, here are my slight changes to Kevin's instructions:
If any of the conditions are met:
Every Message
Perform the following actions:
Run AppleScript: ~/AppleScripts/GrowlMailScript.scpt
Careful! When you're finished making your new rule, Mail.app asks you "Do you want to apply your rules to messages in selected mailboxes?" Be sure click the "Don't Apply" button! If you don't, you may be bombarded with a "new mail" notification for every email you've ever recieved all at one.
Open a finder window and create a folder called "AppleScripts" in your user folder (this new folder will be a sibling with "Documents").
Now, you'll need to create the "GrowlMailScript.scpt" script mentioned above. Fire up Script Editor and paste the following script into the edit window:
on perform_mail_action(info)
tell application "Mail"
set selectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of info
repeat with eachMessage in selectedMessages
set theSubject to subject of eachMessage
set theSender to sender of eachMessage
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
set the allNotificationsList to ¬
{"New Mail"}
set the enabledNotificationsList to ¬
{"New Mail"}
register as application ¬
"MailScript" all notifications allNotificationsList ¬
default notifications enabledNotificationsList ¬
icon of application "Mail"
notify with name ¬
"New Mail" title ¬
"New Mail from " & theSender description ¬
theSubject application name "MailScript"
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end perform_mail_action
You're done! Send yourself an email to test it out.
* Tested with GrowlMail 1.1.2

I've posted a bunch of pictures I took later in the summer (August 9 - September 22):
On September 22nd, we celebrated my friend Ben's 30th birthday party. We started out at 1999 Tavern, then went on to Sean O'Callahans, then ended up at Doyle's, all in Plymouth. Thanks Becky (Ben's wife -- she planned the night) for a great party!
We spent Labor Day weekend at the Lake. Lucas and Aunt Nicole met for the first time!

On our way home from our summer vacation this year, we happened to run into my cousin Tess on the Ohio Turnpike when we stopped to get a bite to eat. We happened to have our camera on us so we took some pictures; you can see a few of them here.

As a result of the move to dreamhost.com I accidentally broke the comments system. I've fixed that now. If you notice any other problems, please let me know by posting a comment to this post.
I plan on posting some new photos of Luke soon. In the meantime, here's a recent picture:

My annual web host fee was about due so I decided to switch web hosting companies. I chose dreamhost.com because I've heard good things about them and they're running a good deal right now. I'm getting 500GB of storage space, 5TB of monthly bandwidth with the deal. They're advertising it on their website, so go have a look.
If you see any problems with the website since the move, please let me know by posting a comment to this post.
