You have, for the last time, heard him say, with that trademark crack of a chuckle in his voice, “Paul Harvey … Good day!”
Good night, Mr. Harvey.

Blood Of The New Covenant For Your Refreshment
Around the house, our nearly-two-year-old will sip from a cup and follow it with a gratified, “Ahhh.” Sunday during the fruit of the vine portion of the Lord’s Supper, after I sipped the juice from my cup, Whitby followed up with a quite audible, “Ahhh.”
I guess we need to work on that reverence thing.
What Is …
It’s just hilarious to me what other people search on, and the suggestion technology at search engines like Google and Ask provide a glimpse of that—a small window into the average netizen’s mind—as well as some light entertainment:

Fortran Programming
Programming in Fortran is like a monarchy: With the right guy, it’s not so bad, but there’s just too much potential for abuse.
URI Decomposer
At work, we build our client websites upon a framework uses a lot of GET parameters. It makes for some URIs that average, oh, about three feet in length. Examining some of those monsters can make your eyes cross if you ever need to verify some parameter values in the query string, so I decided it was time for a little tool that would break up the URI into its constituent parts for me, instead of wading wearily though the whole URI myself. Google has a JavaScript URI object that does most of the heavy lifting already. I just had to add code to break up the query string into the individual key-value pairs.
Hence the URI Decomposer was born. You’ll find it among the items on the Tools page (few as they are as of this writing).
