WordPress Plugin: Manageable

I was recently motivated by a certain post about a plugin competition to put my nerdiness to good use and create a plugin that will (hopefully) be useful to my fellow WordPress-ers.

Whenever I have to go in and edit multiple posts or pages on my site, it always drives me nuts having to open each page, scroll down and find the box I'm looking for, make the change, click save, go back to the listing page, find where I was, and repeat.  I know we're just talking about a few extra clicks, but in cyberspace a few extra clicks is like trudging through a mosquito infested swamp.  Maybe not.

Manageable is my remedy.  Basically, you can edit all of the data related to a post or page (all except the actual content) using a simple Ajax interface.  This means you never leave the management panel.  So check it out and let me know what you think.  And if you're so inclined, you can vote for it here.

I Hate Oil

This is absurd.  The Ford Model T got 13-21 mpg.  That was in 1908.  One hundred years later vehicles average 30 mpg.  I have a hard time believing that all the brainiac scientists out there aren't smart enough to figure out how to get at least 80-100 miles to a gallon.

Take the computer.  The first computer I remember having had a 286 processor with 1mhz clock speed.  22 years later I'm running a dual-core 2.2ghz processor.  That's a 219,900% percent increase (439,900% if you count both cores).  Over 100 years fuel efficiency has increased by 43-131%.

In every other technological arena huge advancements have been made in the last 100 years.  Why not fuel?  Something's awry here.

Maybe Lee Raymond will give me some of his $141,000 a day.
