MCCCXXXVII

8 January 2008

Besides being both obnoxiously elitist and ultimately futile, the StupidFilter project is a magnet for criticism, such as the brilliantly stupidly titled “The StupidFilter is soooo stoopid!!!!!”

Ah, what a world we live in.

UoP is the personal blog of Minneapolis-based freelance web developer and independent musician Scott Anderson @room34.
Scott is the sole proprietor of Room 34 Creative Services, and creator of ICS Calendar, No Nonsense, On This Day and other WordPress plugins.

He also plays bass with 32nd Street Jazz, South High Community Band and Lake Country Jazz Collective.
