Ran into this issue today, so thought I might be able to help someone else out. If you are getting a blank page with no errors when using pear DB and MAMP... (guessing this will work with any lamp setup) make sure you install pear DB with the full path. IE - /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/pear install DB

This should work if you are having this problem with any pear script.. but pear db was the one I was fighting with.

Watched the first episode of "Kid Nation" last night. What the fuck is with all the controversy over this show? I was expecting, no hoping, for Lord of the Flies craziness, instead it's a bunch of kids (actors) at camp. Yeah, they have to cut off a chicken's head, but what kid didn't that grew up in a farming area? I think all kids should have to learn where food comes from and spend a little time away from mommy and xbox.. maybe we will end up kids that can actually think for themselves. Instead we are creating a bunch of self important pussies. Disagree?

Thanks to Wayne for the link -

No one seems to know where Nampa, Idaho (where I live) is.. and the people that do know, think it is the butthole of Idaho. But as you can clearly see in this map, the butthole is a few miles West of nampa.

No I did not die of an impacted bowel as the internet rumors would have you believe. In fact I don't have a good reason that I disappeared for a while. All I can say is, I got busy.

But now I am back, with Tasty Vomit.. a totally unnecessary blog when I can post stupid shit I find on the internets. Don't worry, I will still be bringing you the worst podcast ever produced (The daily download) and some other really dumb productions that I am not talking about yet.

Thanks to the folks that have stuck with me these past few years, and still send me emails asking "what the fuck is up?"
