Most commonly used search term to find ahotw.com? Angel.
This is what would be considered a low traffic blog. Heck, it’s even a low posting blog. Of all the posts that I’ve made, only two have been about Angel Learning (it had annoying problems, and I’m sure it still does). Despite that, over half of the searches that resulted in a [...]

Prototype.js
I’ve finally decided that it was time that I taught myself either Prototype or MooTools. Since Prototype seemed a bit more popular, I have decided to use that.

Stupidest Survivor Ever
Last night on Survivor, viewers witnessed the stupidest move in Survivor history. Erik, who has been a target by the remaining members of his tribe for the past few weeks, gave up his immunity at tribal council in order to “look better for the jury”.
