Welcome to my life.

I'm a self-avowed WordPress Whisperer with a specialization in front-end design. I live in Maryland. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm prolific on Twitter; I used to post to Flickr; I have a moblog and in my spare time I help out at the SemperFi WP Support forums. Read more about me.

Neologism alert

It’s fair enough that I occasionally clarify a few terms I coin for my own usage on my blog. Today I have three, just because I’m in a prolific mood.

RINO-Rider
Someone who uses the term RINO heavily to accuse their chosen leaders of political and ideological impurity. The accusation is directed towards a Republican, therefore, Republican In Name Only.
DINO-Rider
Someone who uses the term DINO heavily to accuse their chosen leaders of political and ideological impurity. The accusation is directed towards a Democrat, therefore, Democrat In Name Online.
Government’s Schwartz
Pulled from the movie, Spaceballs, the Schwartz of a particular government or administration is the sum total, the gestalt, of his spending policies, and the social effects resulting from them.

Note: most riders on either side are usually ideologues on the same side of the political fence as those they are calling out, although nothing is stopping a Democrat from calling Bush a RINO.
