It's even really nice ... http://www.jeremyprivett.com/blog/archives/hdtvs-make-excellent-monitors/ The old PHP version of JoS made the JoS_Core class the central point of almost the entire game.

I wanted to take a moment to go over ... http://www.jeremyprivett.com/blog/archives/my-goals-for-journey-of-souls-part-one/ Happy 9's to you all. I used the joke below in like three different places last night. Might as well be a schmuck and put it here too. It's still lame, and that's okay. I was able to laugh about it. A little. Okay, maybe it was just a smirk. ... http://www.jeremyprivett.com/blog/archives/999999/ There's something about this whole blogging thing that, no matter how pointless it may seem, always keeps me coming back to it.
