Why my wife is awesome

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:

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

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

Tim Priebe — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:47:37 +0000

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!

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.

Been planning this for ages

Hilarious!

Mario, Luigi and Yoshi get Fortune Cookies

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.

A Sith Truck

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

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.
