The origins of spam and the birth of our nerd-ism

Who would have known that Monty Python would have such insight. This brilliant troupe coined a phrase that is in wide use amongst the netizen. It is one used in torment by the masses. It is spam. Though this video may be hilarious, the term refers to something that is absolutely, completely, totally incontrovertibly, unequivocally, [...]

Time Wasters X3!

How Old Is Your Brain?: This is a neat little flash game from a Japanese website that simply test your reaction time to series of #’s. It’s fast, simple and brutally honest. I apparently have the brain of a 40 yr. old. Eric has the brain of a 35 yr. old. Just reinforces that theory [...]

Filter Life

Wouldn’t life be grand if we could filter it just like we do Photoshop and our email. There are so many people I would love to mark as SPAM!

Don’t Forget Your Flash Drive

Oh the perils of forgetting your flash drive. It happens to the best of us. Eric wears his around his neck 24-7; being his only other piece of bling besides his wedding ring (there is some irony in that somewhere). His day is ruined if he forgets his precious flash drive but I must admit [...]

What type of geek are you?

There is spam and then there is SPAM. We discuss spam regularly here at Flash by Z. Lots of fun to be had with Spammers that create profiles. My personal favorite is changing their URL (website) to http://www.honeypot.org. For whatever reason these profiles never seem to comment on our site. What if it is in-house [...]

Clash of the Titans

PHP, WordPress, themes, functions, loops, web design, spam, hacking, Photoshop, CSS, and SEO have absolutely NOTHING to do with this post. Eric’s REVIEW: Desi and I went to see Clash of the Titans last night. It was not blog inspiring like Alice in Wonderland but it was a fun movie. We highly recommend it. We [...]

PHP Artwork -ImageFilledRectangle

Here is the fourth installment of PHP Artwork. Coming up we are going to build a green box using the ImageFilledRectangle function and then we are going to add a caption to it using the PHP built-in function called ImageString. So stay tuned. Just in case you missed the previous installments: We used the imageline [...]
