Welcome to the home of Noah Brier. I'm the co-founder of Variance and general internet tinkerer. Most of my writing these days is happening over at Why is this interesting?, a daily email full of interesting stuff. This site has been around since 2004. Feel free to get in touch. Good places to get started are my Framework of the Day posts or my favorite books and podcasts. Get in touch.

Further into Geekdom

I just finished getting the links on the side of the page working with the help of Magpie RSS and this handy PHP script. But that wasn’t quite geeky enough for me, so while I was in the mode I decided to finally buy a book I’ve been meaning to pick up for a while . . .

PHP and MySQL Web Development

Yikes. That is officially my first computer programming book. Once it arrives I can no longer make any arguments against being called the following names:

Geek

Dork

Nerd

I’m sure there’s lots of other ones that I’ve failed to mention, but you get the point.
