Grep My Mind Wonder what’s on my mind? Now you know.

I went to see Charlie Wilson’s War yesterday with my wife Denise. I thought it was a pretty good flick.  Tom Hanks was pretty good in the leading war.  I know it was dramatized but I hope it starts to raise awareness in the world about how we get into some of these political and war messes.  I was saddened that they just glossed over the Saudi involvement in that war.  That was back when the bin Laden family was an ally of ours. 

Anyway, enough about the politic side of the movie.  Acting was good and made a decent story about a non-action based historical event.  I give it 3 & 1/2 stars.

Last night was the first PHP meetup session for 2008. I didn’t spend anytime preparing for it so I babbled my way through a few things here and there. Thankfully Terry Chay came through in his true PHP terrorist form and went nuts about JavaScript frameworks. I love it when he gets into what he’s talking about. As much as he says he doesn’t like to give presentations and talks, I don’t think the meetup would be succeeding without. BTW, he likes YUI because it reminds him of the way PHP developers would do it.

I need to come up with a better topic for next month. I think a more web 2.0ish (god I hate saying that) topic like creating an ajaxified page would be good, but it didn’t seem like a popular idea amongst the members there last night. Perhaps a little later this year.
