Terry Moore: How to tie your shoes
I’ve officially switched all of my shoelace-tying to this technique. It’s awesome.

First game. Wet field. New shoes. Sore legs. Numb fingers. Out of breath. 10-0. We lost.

Yes, I whine a lot. And yes, I haven’t played in 2 years.

When embarking on a 5k adventure, it’s always a good idea to bring along a good pair of walking shoes. These are not good walking shoes.

PHP Utility Functions: get_value_or_default
Some handy functions I use to grab values from arrays and objects (especially $_REQUEST and friends), without having to constantly run isset or !empty checks everywhere (to avoid undefined index notices). You can specify a default value if the index doesn’t exist in the array or object. Also lets you sanitize the value(s) using a callback before returning them.
Note: No amount of helper functions will protect you from Bad Things. Always validate/sanitize untrusted data.
$var ) ? $object->$var : $default; elseif( is_array( $object ) ) $value = ! empty( $object[$var] ) ? $object[$var] : $default; else $value = $default; if( is_callable( $sanitize_callback ) ) { if( is_array( $value ) ) $value = array_map( $sanitize_callback, $value ); else $value = call_user_func( $sanitize_callback, $value ); } return $value; } function get_request_var( $var, $default = '', $sanitize_callback = '' ) { return get_value_or_default( $var, $_REQUEST, $default, $sanitize_callback ); } function get_get_var( $var, $default = '', $sanitize_callback = '' ) { return get_value_or_default( $var, $_GET, $default, $sanitize_callback ); } function get_post_var( $var, $default = '', $sanitize_callback = '' ) { return get_value_or_default( $var, $_POST, $default, $sanitize_callback ); }

Homemade Fruits and Vegetables
Some goodies we grew in our garden last year.
The tomatoes turned out amazingly (despite looking pretty green in the photos). They were aggressive and being our first time growing vegetables, we didn’t quite control then well enough. As a result, we now have a big patch of dead grass in the garden where the tomatoes started to spread.
The raspberries were delicious but the plant only sprouted 7 or 8 of them. It’s gotten much bigger this year, so we hope to get lots more.
The carrots, well, they were tiny.
There were a few delicious peppers as well (though, not pictured).
This year, we’re going with tomatoes again, but might expand the patch of vegetables we have and try other things like potatoes and other small edibles. We’re also hoping that the cherry and plum trees we planted kick into high gear and pop out some delicious fruits.

This video alerted me to the fact that I’ve been tying my shoes the right way my entire life. :)

That’s awesome! Anyone that ever had doubts about TED should watch this. It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference!
