Two amazing songs by Kid Cudi. I really dig his music, defiantly does not fall into the mold of traditional hip-hop. Go pickup his album Man on the Moon; a lot of awesome tracks.

Since the Holidays are nearly upon us, I thought it is time to share Sketchy Santas with you all. Sketchy Santas has some amazingly funny and even downright creepy photos of holiday Santas; mostly the mall variety type, with children who appear to be mortified and downright paralyzed with fear. Here are a few of my favorites.
Inappropriate Santa — Yeah... You probably want to watch those wondering hands.
WTF Santa — In all fairness we should be promoting racially equality, but I have to guess there were some very confused children after visiting that Santa.
Creepy Santa — Who is screening these mall Santas? This one look like he just escaped from San Quentin State Prison.
Scared Shitless Santa — No holly jolly Christmas had by these kids.
Gnome Statue Santa — The kid on the right appears to be having a mild seizure at the sight of gnome Santa.
And finally, a few Holiday clips which embody the spirit and kindness of the Christmas season; surely classics.

Recently, we just switch over Daily Nerdy to use lighttpd web server instead of Apache. Lighttpd has shown superior performance in regards to serving static content, and uses fast-cgi for processing PHP pages. Everything went smooth and was a breeze until we tried getting nice looking permalinks for Wordpress. We tried dozens of mod_rewrite rules, but most didn’t work in every case and some flat out didn’t work at all.
Here is our mod_rewrite solution which we are currently using and have working with Wordpress 2.8.5.
1.) First include a reference to a separate lighttpd rewrite rule configuration file in your main lighttpd.conf file. This inst required, but we like to break apart the main lighttpd configuration directives from the rewrite rules.
#### Include Rewrite Rules
include “/etc/lighttpd/rewrite_rules.conf”
2.) Create the rewrite rules configuration file (/etc/lighttpd/rewrite_rules.conf) and place the following in it:
$HTTP["host"] =~ “(^|\.)dailynerdy\.com$” {
url.rewrite-once = (
# Exclude audio directory from rewrites
“^/(audio)/?(.*)” => “$0″,“^/(wp-.+).*/?” => “$0″,
“^/(sitemap.xml)” => “$0″,
“^/(xmlrpc.php)” => “$0″,
“^/keyword/([A-Za-z_0-9-])/?$” => “index.php?keyword=$1″,
“^/(.+)/?$” => “index.php/$1″
)
}
Make sure you change dailynerdy\.com to be your domain name of course. The (^|\.) at the start handles the case of www and no www. Excluding the audio directory is optional as well, but we use the Wordpress plugin Audio Player and store of all our media in that directory, so we excluded it.
Finally as a note, make sure you have the module mod_rewrite installed and uncommented in your lighttpd configuration file.
