Deadspin comes through again to let us know that Freddie "FredEx" Mitchell, washed-up shit-talking ex-receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, was recently working as a substitute HS teacher in Mishawaka, IN:
More on the awesomeness of FredEx:Supposedly the woman who was his kid's mother lives in town, and he needed some extra money. He lasted all of one week, due to the fact that he was caught asking girls for their phone numbers.
I went to HS about 4 miles from Mishawaka High School, was in a band with a couple guys from there, and lived in Mishawaka for about 4 years, which is why I'm flipping out about this.

Things are going better. I don't think anything will be disappearing, but adjustments as to my focus(es) in life are happening and will continue. It's exciting, but a little scary -- fear of change and fear of regret are chronic problems for me. I'm glad that I have a strong support system of family and friends who help me and support me when I go a little crazy.

(14:14:58) Mike: did you shit your pants?
(14:14:59) funkatronwork: pulls it back farther. two bats.
(14:15:06) funkatronwork: pretty much

So I've been running the new beta of Zend Studio, and a few things are notable:
1) It installed properly on my 20" iMac Core Duo
2) The ZDE binary is universal.

3) The installer, however, is not.
It's pretty speedy on the Core Duo. I'm quite happy with it, and may finally be able to stop running Parallels+XP just to use the ZDE.
