Ah yes, that’s it. Wine gum is the common name here in the Netherlands, I ate a lot of them but enjoyed the red ones the most! :-) Cheers!

Thanks, Chris. Glad to hear you enjoyed the book. I've never heard the term whinegum before. I assume you're talking about the chewy candy?

Hahaha! I really enjoyed that post! You’re so right about the gross amount of posts about IE8.
Ever thought about a follow-up research about the chances of getting a red whinegum from a package of whinegums? ;-)

P.S. (since it’s the first chance to say it to you) I really enjoyed your Sitepoint book!

Where’d you get 11th grade, Dustin? This was 8th or maybe 9th…

I’m pretty sure you didn’t buy shoes with this. You were still saving by the time we went for coffee in 11th grade. Hmm…. maybe you put it toward your VW Beetle.

An entire project based around M&M’s? My respect level for you just changed. As for whether that is a positive or negative adjustment, I’m not quite sure. Either way, that photo is pure 15-year-old awesomeness. You look so serious. LoLz!

Haha, that’s an awesome picture. I had some awful denim jumpsuit that I loved as a kid, and there’s this one picture that is just… wow. It’s not the fashionable atire I thought it was at the time.

I swear to find it in my parent’s photo collection and burn it.

LMAO. very nice Jason, very nice.

I remember those Science Fairs in grade school and the events from cub scouts back in the day… wow..

The weirdest event was in Cub Scouts. We had to do some sort of “talent” thing for a badge or patch. I chose to lip sync a song. Yeh, how entertaining that was; I guess I was super dorky back than. The kicker. I chose a Mili Vanili song to lip sync…how ironic is that?(this was before they were ousted for that). I have no idea why I remember this… I shouldnt. lol.
