You may have noticed the section in my sidebar marked “Last Played”. It shows an album cover, the artist, song title, and the number of times I’ve played the song. The image is also a link to amazon. I set this up using Brandon Fuller’s Now Playing plugin for iTunes. Basically, the plugin outputs information about what’s playing to an XML file and then uploads it to the site. On the site, there’s a PHP file that parses the XML data and outputs what you see. How to do it is all explained on the site. He provides the PHP file to parse the XML and then leaves it to you to create the output. It’s pretty easy to setup.
There were only two things I did to the file that is even slightly interesting. more_link_text

….or maybe he’s just lying.
I came across some words from our president and was rather surprised. I shouldn’t be I guess, but man….
“Our mission in Iraq is clear: We’re hunting down the terrorists. We’re helping Iraqis build a free nation that is an ally in the war on terror. We’re advancing freedom in the broader Middle East. We are removing a source of violence and instability and laying the foundation of peace for our children and our grandchildren.”
Check out that first line…..we’re in Iraq to hunt down terrorists? Assuming that actually was our original intent, it was proven long ago that our terrorists weren’t in Iraq. Our intelligence was wrong, there were no weapons of mass destruction. There were bad people there for sure, but not those same bad people who attacked us.
But Bush is still selling us the war as being one against terrorism?
I guess there are “terrorists” in Iraq, but we generally call them insurgents. They seem to fighting the fact that we’re in their country. These terrorists weren’t there before we got there. But maybe he wasn’t referring to the insurgents…but then what exactly did he mean?
Read the quotes and you might come to the conclusion that Bush would march through the entire middle east and “free” them all if he could… Only 1295 days to go….
