Ozh’s Admin Drop Down Menu Plugin for WordPress is something that I’ve been waiting for someone else to write for a long time. If you’re not using this, then you’re certainly not a power user.
I don’t often write about other people’s plugins, but this one is so simple and essential in must be made more public.

One of my major psychological problems these days is that I never feel like I have enough time to do anything. And my own particular coping method for this problem is - as odd as this may sound - doing nothing. So this week off of work after Christmas leaves me doing a whole lot of nothing, even while feeling like I should not be wasting this time.

Well, Christmas is pretty much over for us here in the Winkler household. It was a fine day with family. But two things have really bothered me today, and I thought I would share them so that we could commiserate.
Number one - We have two kids. They are under 5 years old. Every stinking toy is affixed to the box it came in by these plastic-coated metal twist ties that are twisted into knots by sadistic evil elves. I swear to you that I have bruises on my fingertips from trying to unravel these little metal knots from the bowels of hell.
Worse yet is that when you finally get sick of twisting them with your fingers until your fingers bleed and you get some wirecutters from the tool chest, you end up cutting a few that you probably shouldn’t even though there’s no other way to get the wire out of there. And what’s wrong with that? They leave these sharp little wire thingies hanging out of toys with an age rating of “1 year+”. That’s just stupid.
I guess people were ripping the toys out of the boxes in the stores and pocketing them. Crime has become such a problem in the world that we now have to endanger my kids to prevent the theft of a $5 train car from a set of Weebles. But it’s not just the consumers causing a problem…
