It would seem silly to put data, especially frequently changing data, into code. How about those business rules...

• Welcome back, Mr. Key

  My home computer is accessible via Remote Desktop, which makes life on the road much easier. Quick access to email, Outlook address/contact info, etc. I use DynDNS to keep my dynamic IP mapped to a host name. This means that my cable modem's IP address...

• Partying like it's January 11, 2005
