I've written the classic snake game in CoffeeScript. It was my first time writing in CoffeeScript and I feel I got a good introduction to the language. I used jQuery to handle keyboard events and Raphael to handle the drawing.

I'm pretty happy with the result. The last time I wrote snake was in python using pygame. Whenever I wanted to show someone the game, I had to install python and pygame on their computer. What a headache. Now I can just give them the url and they can play in their browser.

As JustTheTops gets more and more content, it gets harder to remember when a particular post was made. Now you just need to remember a part of the title. Here are some sample searches to get you started:

• Maybe you want to relive the awkward rap that Anne Hathaway did on Conan. Eh, I still love her.
• Want to see all the XKCD or Oglaf comics.
• How about all the NSFW content?

I've thrown out all my old posts and a few of my old projects. Why would I do that? There are a few reasons:

1. Move away from WordPress as its way too overpowered for my needs.
2. Move my site off DreamHost and onto my Linode 512 VPS to save a little money.
3. Write my own blogging software that fits my needs.

WordPress is such a gargantuan piece of software that I always felt a little intimidated by it. I wanted something much simpler. I wrote the code to this site as a django app with a focus on minimalism and simplicity. My main use of this site is as a place to post my projects and maybe a blog post here and there.
