After reading the comments on my last post, about my beefs with Django’s URL template tag, it sounds like I made an assumption that was incorrect: I had understood that the {% url %} tag is now considered a best practice, and using the get_asbsolute_url method in templates is now considered a less-than-best practice.
Turns out, most people agree with me that get_absolute_url is still a very valid method of getting the URL for an object's detail page for use in templates. Sounds like most people are now doing the same thing I do, which is to use the {% url %} tag when it makes sense (for pages not associated with an object, or for views with few or no arguments), and to use get_absolute_url for object detail pages
Who’s up for going out in KC tonight? I gotta get outta this house…
Suddenly there’s no more clouds / I believe without a doubt that heaven sent an angel down / And she turned my life around
Living every week like it’s Shark Week.
Wondering how I became a commitment-phobic serial monogamist.
Tonight’s fortune cookie message: “Digital circuits are made from analog parts.” Somehow that doesn’t sound like Confucius to me.
I think I know the real reason Jobs didn’t do the Macworld keynote: he didn’t want to be responsible for showing off this boring shit.
Do I have any followers in North Kansas City? Just curious…if so, speak up!

My good friend Laura Miner (who happens to be the wife of another good friend, Wilson Miner, now has a blog. It’s pretty and full of interesting content already. Until its recently-announced departure, Laura has been the Editor In Chief of JPG Magazine, so you might expect her blog to feature a lot of great photography — and you’d be right. Visit site »

Hello again, ATL. You are beginning to look mighty familiar.
Good god. This is a damn big plane for an hour-long flight.
Got a flight out of JAX; now in shuttle from Gainesville to Jacksonville.
My flight has been canceled, and it doesn’t look like there are any other flights out today. This sucks.
Don’t ever fucking question that.
Incredible kabobs by @rainaterror! This bitch can cook!
Disappearing ketchup.
2009 thus far: came home, had crackers thrown at me, slept, awakened, received spa treatment, napped, awakened, called cab for dinner.
Turned in Man Club membership card; getting massage/manicure/pedicure at the hotel spa. Not ashamed.
Happy New Years to my tweeps in the SEA, SF, and elsewhere in the PST!
Happy New Year to my tweeps in Mountain Time! The Broncos suck, but I love you fuckers anyway.
