America's Fish: Now with more Drupal

Sun, 06/13/2010 - 6:35pm

When I started, I tried to form a comparison in my mind to baseball. (It all comes down to baseball for us here at America's Fish.) Drupal was maybe the Yankees and Wordpress the Red Sox. But I'm even less fond of the Red Sox than I am of the Yankees, so that wasn't going to work, and it didn't seem to fit anyway because in the end, these are both systems that are designed for the people, open-source, the opposite of the big-spending, empirical American League East powerhouses. So I'll try this: Drupal is the Phillies or the Dodgers, maybe the Angels; Wordpress is the Twins. You think you might know which team has the better record and is the better team, but chances are you're wrong.

Pixar brings Toy Story to proper close

Toy Story 3 does what the third (and should have been final) installments of the Godfather and Star Wars trilogies couldn't: it put a proper bookend on a longer story. This presumably final visit with the toys that launched Pixar as a feature-film company in 1995 is not quite as good as the first two movies as a caper, but it is the most emotional of the three movies.
