I had a blast watching the Simpsons movie yesterday with some friends. I laughed my ass off the hardest during the “Spiderpig, spiderpig” part. Hahaha. Anyway, I discovered a site they made where you can convert yourself into a Simpsons character, aptly called “Simpsonize Me“. You’ll need to upload a 640×480 frontal face pic of… Continue reading Simpsonize Me

Problems with Guestbook Generator
I’ve finally come around to investigating the various issues many are having with my WordPress Guestbook Generator plugin.
