Drupal: Make a Context-Aware User Login Link (PHP Snippet)
Many of the sites I design don't require a user login form on every page, especially if there are only a few people that will ever need to login. Instead, I like to simply provide a "User Login" link somewhere on the page (most often in the footer), so it's unobtrusive but there for those who might not remember to type in /user after the URL.

From a friend's blog post on Avatar :
People applauded at the end of the film, which I found a bit disturbing. Visually, it was awesome. But we just saw humanity slaughtered on an alien planet. We just saw the greed of humanity at its worst. We just saw a terrible spirituality exalted as ideal. And, finally, we just saw the remnant of the humans sent back “to their dying planet,” and we cheered.
No wonder people feel depressed after stepping out

Meetup with St. Louis Catholic Bloggers
Earlier today, I had lunch with a few good (mostly online) friends at Rigazzi's on the Hill (in St. Louis). The food was so-so, the company was great, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was pretty good. It's a little bit tucked away next to Kingshighway, but not too hard to find (plus there's plenty of parking in the area).
I met Snup (from Snup's view from the back pew ) for the first time
