Tomorrow: In Which I Honor Pinky & Brain and Try to (Metaphorically) Take Over the World

Bad people might try to make us look bad, but the truth always comes to light. Which brings me to Awesome Sauce Java with Hot Sauce.  Awesome Sauce is the language. It's dynamic and fast and puts Java in a format that works for me. I've learned more Java with it than ever before. But it kicks my butt a lot and frustrates me. Like today, while working on the HTML generating code, I realized I implemented macros in a weird way. Or I'm not understanding how I implemented them.  That happens sometimes when I haven't worked with a set of logic, block of code, or mode of operatio...
