Why my wife is awesome
Posted on December 10th, 2010 @ 7:09 am
Halfway through my 30 days of doodling series, my wife posted this on Facebook:
After your doodle of the day is over in 15 days, I do fully expect a long list of why your wife is awesome. Or you could do the list before your doodle days are over.
Since I’m on a visual kick, I decided to make my list out of pictures. And, of course, I would be in major trouble if I didn’t out-do my list of doodles.
So, with no further ado, here are thirty-eight reasons why my wife is awesome, in no particular order:
-
- Leann let me build this arcade
-
- Leann married me
-
- Leann loves Disneyworld
-
- Leann made Josh pose for this photo because I wasn’t there
-
- Leann thinks Josh crying because he got paint on his arm is funny
-
- Leann thinks things like this are cool
-
- One Halloween, Leann dressed our kids as Batman (close second to Superman)
-
- Leann surprised me with a Magic Mouse as a gift
-
- Leann loves our kids so much that she actually wore this thing
-
- Leann likes ridiculously overpriced fondue
-
- Leann stayed up super-late helping us move into our office next to Jimmy Johns
-
- Leann also lets me dress Jackson in Superman stuff
-
- Leann let me dress Jackson in Superman stuff from a very young age
-
- Leann let us go for a family vacation to the Action Figure Museum
-
- Against her better judgement, Leann let me and the kids dress up in these
-
- Leann makes really good fresh salsa
-
- Leann bought me these awesome shoes on clearance
-
- After I bought this Apple shirt for Josh (and Jackson), Leann actually dressed them in it.
-
- Leann loves taking the kids to the zoo, even though she secretly hates animals
-
- Leann encourages our kids to play on the computer
-
- When told to pick something out for me at Pop’s, Leann came back with this
-
- Leann thinks things like this are funny
-
- Leann participates in my self-photography hobby
-
- This time, Leann dressed Josh as Mario and Jackson as Luigi
-
- Did I mention Leann gave me this kiddo?
-
- Leann has always made our kids take daily baths
-
- Leann generally plays nice with my parents
-
- Leann threw a Superman-themed “surprise” 30th birthday party for me
-
- Photo ops are more important than baby comfort
-
- Not only did Leann let me dress Josh up like Mario and myself like Luigi, but she dressed up like the Princess
-
- Leann is also at least half repsonsible for Jackson
-
- On more than one occasion, Leann has let me dress Josh up like Mario
-
- Leann took this awesome picture while I was otherwise occupied, combining two of my favorites
-
- Photo ops are more important than safety to Leann
-
- Leann is at least half responsible for Josh
-
- While ready to give birth (and immediately afterwards), Leann put together a graduation party
-
- Leann likes driving arcade games
-
- Pre-kids, Leann went to Metropolis, IL for a Superman-themed vacation

If you’re a fan of Simon Pegg and his past movies Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, you should be looking forward to this one:

Doodle of the day 4
Posted on October 10th, 2010 @ 3:03 pm
Yay, 10-10-10! This is possibly the worst drawing of time travelers I’ve ever seen, and I drew it. Can anyone figure out from my terrible artwork who all of them are?
Hint: They’re all from television and movies, and no character is repeated twice, though one franchise is in there several times.

PHP Code Snippet to replace last instance of a string
Posted on September 6th, 2010 @ 2:47 pm
I haven’t posted any code to this site before, but this one is so useful and short that I figured I’d make an exception.
Here’s a PHP function to replace the last instance of a substring in another string:
function str_replace_last($search, $replace, $subject) {
return strrev(preg_replace('/'.strrev($search).'/', strrev($replace), strrev($subject),1));
}
That’s it!

Back to the Future 4!
Posted on September 6th, 2010 @ 9:32 am
Looks like George Lucas is going to be working with Robert Zemeckis on a fourth installment in the Back to the Future movie franchise.
Just kidding.

Mario, Luigi and Yoshi get Fortune Cookies
Posted on August 25th, 2010 @ 11:54 am
I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 for my birthday a couple months back. I’ve been playing through it ever since, so this comic is especially funny for me right now.

Spotted this driving around OKC. Not as cool as the Mario turtle shell trailer hitch cover, but still…

Add me as a friend on foursquare
Posted on July 31st, 2010 @ 11:03 am
Are you on foursquare? Add me as a friend!
What is foursquare? According to Wikipedia’s foursquare article…
Foursquare is a location-based social networking website, software for mobile devices, and also a game. Users “check-in” at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application. They are then awarded points and sometimes “badges.”
Also, theoretically some places will give you discounts if you check in at their location, though I haven’t run into that yet.
Less than a week after Leann downloaded the iPhone app, she was Mayor of the Sonic closest to our house. Big surprise…
I’ve also replaced my MySpace link in the sidebar with my foursquare link. End of an era, or something like that.
