Cemeteries

As I was sitting in church yesterday, listening to the sermon, the pastor was speaking on the death of Christ and (for a brief moment) his burial. My mind wondered momentarily (I promise it was only a brief moment), and I started thinking about cemeteries. People die. And every day,

I was digging around for some example code that would help me figure out why I'm experiencing drawing problems with my UIPickerView when I rotate it 90 degrees, and I found a forum post signature thing that read: if (!exit(-1)) fprintf(stderr, "exit call failed. Program

My Favorite "Fruit Company"
