• Morals without holy books

  I guess I have a new blog. / Why we’re raising our kids to be godless heathens..

  Interesting list of morals to give to kids without religion.

  Be Kind and Gentle to everyone and everything.  Treat others the way you want to be treated.  Have love for humanity and the universe.

  Enjoy this life as much as you can.  Assume this is all you are going to get (there may not be an afterlife).

  Search for beauty and good in everything.  Everything has a positive side.  If you don’t see it, create it.

  Test yourself, your ideas and beliefs.  Trust what your senses and intuition tell you.  The more extraordinary the claim, the more convincing the evidence must be to support it.

  Use Reason and Creativity to solve problems, and don’t count on anyone else solving them for you. You are empowered.

  Take care of your body.  If it’s not working right, the rest of this list can be much more difficult.

  Use your Powers for good.  Make the world a better place for yourself and everyone else by doing what you can.

  You are an animal, and you have a place in the world as all animals do.  Try not to abuse your position.

  Learn as much as you can and pass on your knowledge.

  I often wonder at the Ten Commandments, you know, of all the things that could have been said, why were those the rules? This list seems much more humane, and maybe its because this author isn’t asking her followers to enter a land and kill everything found there.

• Andy Timmons Band plays Sgt. Pepper

  I’ll hopefully have a more detailed review up at some point, but just got my copy in the mail yesterday along with a sweet autographed photo of the band.

  It’s really a great CD, a testament to the melodies of the Beatles and the musicianship of ATB. Hurry up on over to Andy’s site and order a copy today: Andy Timmons Band Plays Sgt. Pepper CD! Available for Pre-order!

• Mysql Totals By Day of Week

  bucky 06:51:03 am on October 21, 2011 | comments Comments Off | # |

  this took me a while to figure out this snippet of sql, if anyone has a better way to do it let me know:

  
  SELECT count(*) as `total`,
  dayname(created) as `dayname`,
  dayofweek(created) as `weekday`
  FROM leads
  WHERE date(created) between
  DATE_ADD(DATE(NOW()), INTERVAL(1-DAYOFWEEK(DATE(NOW()))) DAY)
  AND
  DATE_ADD(DATE(NOW()), INTERVAL(7-DAYOFWEEK(DATE(NOW()))) DAY)
  GROUP BY dayname(created)
  ORDER BY weekday
  

  prints out a table like

  Sunday 1

  Monday 14

  Tuesday 32

  etc.
