Wow. And I thought your triple monitor setup was nice. This is even better. Twin girls with an older brother to look out for them! Congrats.

@Jim Cooper I think the point is that writing is hard enough even with the whole English language at your disposal. When you only have the syntax of a programming language, the clearest code in the word is still easier to understand with comments and a tech spec.

this may be overly simplistic but could the magic dial google needs to turn simply be to adjust how the date something is published adds to the ranking? on most searches say for "lady gaga" they should return the content with the most current date. on a search for "binding a select list with MVC.Net" the scraped site is going to have a more recent date but should be ranked lower. either way this problem seems to show up when using google to research technical solutions more so than other things.

jeff, blog more stack overflow less. thanks.

thanks for the info Brad. Is there a reason the req. field sometimes doesn't fire when tabbing through fields? It seems to only fire if another validation fails and is corrected first. (im using jquery.validate.unobtrusive)

My wife wanted to get me a wallet that said B.M.F'er on it. She contacted someone on craigslist and ended up at a retired little old man's house who made leather working items as a hobby and sold them. She said he was the sweetest old man. She was embarrassed to tell him what she wanted on it but she did. Now I constantly trying to setup situations for people to ask me which wallet is mine!
