It’s the little things, like usability
I've been banging my head against the wall for a good couple of hours and had to vent....
WordPress design and you (I’m bored again with mine)
I knew it was coming.
WordPress and e-mail notification
So, one thing that I've found lacking in WordPress is the ability to be notified when somebody has replied to your comments on someone else's blog. And, not surprising, there is a plugin for it. It looks pretty interesting, and I'm tempted to try it. =:)
Still in search of a better mousetrap
So, I stumbled upon this wordpress client and got all excited about it until I realized that it was written specifically for Internet Explorer (which I wouldn't use if you paid me in Cheese Whiz), specifically for Windows (which I wouldn't use if you paid me in Cheese Whiz either). Why would anyone write an application for IE nowadays, please tell me?

About me (a clarification of the me-ness of me)
My name is Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. The Jason part was given to me by my parents, though I have many times wished I had been named Richard the Third, after my Dad and Grandfather. The Kasper part was passed down to me from my Dad, though there are some pretty interesting facts about the family's lineage. The 'vanRijn' part is something that happened on the way between then and now, but you can read more about that later.
And God created Darwin
I realize that this has been out on the 'Net since 1999, apparently, but I just became aware of it. This is a really interesting article, written by Hans Bodlaender, apparently. I think it is a very well-balanced and wise point of view to have, and as a Christian, I agree with it. I'll not quote the entire thing here, but just the last couple of paragraphs....
KDE, Bible Quiz, and those neato Subway bun toasters
Yesterday was a long day, in which my eldest daughter and her Teen Bible Quiz team came in first place in their third match!! I am SO proud of my team!! As their coach, I was nervous about the match yesterday, and in spots, it was VERY close. But my girls pulled through and were rewarded for all the hard work they've put in over the last 5 weeks. =:)
