I post about news, politics, cars, web development, Wordpress modifications, sports, and life in general. I'll update this thread when I make a post.

Today I blogged about modifying the Wordpress loop to allow for news story categorization for newspaper web sites, but it could be applied to any site.

Also, I am going to be launching a web development business on the side very soon. I am almost finished building a store for Nexus's new company. It should launch in the next week or two. I have numerous sites to show. If you're looking for a web store on a budget, a Wordpress modification can provide a wonderful WYSIWYG interface for you to independently edit your site and store without breaking the bank. If you want something more high octane/customized, I can do that too. My girlfriend is also a graphic designer and I work with her a lot on designing logos, print media and online graphics.

I host on Media Temple, one of the best hosts on the net. If you're interested in getting a site up shoot me a PM or e-mail me. mail@chinocharles.com.

Thanks!

Charles

thats all fine and good, but how's the music career coming?

I'm taking it easy for now. I'm looking to buy a good electric and a half stack and get back into a full rock band situation. I miss jumping on stage. Hard to do as a solo acoustic guy. :wink:

Classic! :biggrin:

I dig your post on health care.

However, just so you know, the young people aren't the ones most in need. Health deteriorates as you get older and the premiums shoot up, can cost hundreds of dollars per month (that's when they don't turn you down for pre-existing conditions) My point is that *everybody* needs health care. Not just the young, or just the old, or just the children, or just the rich, or whatever.

Keep up the good work!

Post that on the blog! I'm all for differing viewpoints, especially when they add to the discussion

I have to preface this by saying that I am no long-time fan of Barney Frank (D-MA). He has been my poster child for the idea that we don’t elect people with character,

nvm i understand
