Halley Suitt reminds me to think of the chaos surrounding children in a more positive light.
“…it makes me mad to have all these useless little things swirling around my house in complete chaos, but I flipped a switch in my brain to look at the same item the way Jackson sees it”
Steven Soderbergh tries bringing something new to every film he’s involved with. With Solaris, he brings a love story to science fiction with a beatifully shot mind game that was better than the original (1972 by Andrei Tarkovsky). Ambiguous, moody and not for everyone, but interesting and very much worth the effort.
Here is a nicely done 3 Column Complex Layout demo with a twist. All of the content is used to describe itself. Things like…
“This fixed width sidebar, #leftbox, is absolutely positioned with a left position given but no top positioning. This is so it will automatically position itself based on the size of the #header div.”
Looks like they’ve fixed the autocomplete bug. Woo hoo! Read about it and Download 0.6.1 now.
Speaking of the Family Guy, check this bit from a Newsweek article:
“The show–a bitingly funny send up of family sitcoms featuring a moronic patriarch, a talking dog and a diabolical, British-accented infant boy–is drawing 1 million viewers per episode–topping Leno and Letterman among 18- to 34-year-old men
Too many 80’s pop culture references in one show? Nah, and nearly all of them are found on the Familyguyfiles.com pages. (Thanks to Matthew for the llink)

(The possessive, not the contraction!) I’ve been keeping a weblog of one form or another since, well, for a long time. The first one was a basic custom app written in ColdFusion sometime around 1997 or 1998. You may have noticed that I’m a bit flighty when it comes to software, so who knows what I’ll be blogging with next week? The downside of all this moving around is that I seem to have lost a great deal of history in the process. I was troubled by the fact that there was no sign of any posts before this year on the server. Yesterday I suddenly remembered that I used to keep a Blogger blog a few years ago. Sure enough, it was still there. I exported the entries and imported them into Movable type. Viola! 2000 and 2001 are partially restored. I still seem to be missing most of 2002, but I think that may be due to my messing up the dates while importing my Blosxom files. Now if I could just find the earlier stuff.
For those bloggers who go a day or two with nothing interesting to write about, for god’s sake don’t waste everyone’s time apologizing for it. Just sit there quietly until you do have something to say. Save us the trouble of seeing your blog title finally light up in bold or whatever in our aggregators and eagerly clicking the link, only to find there’s still nothing to read.
Game Over is right. All noise and gimmick, with none of the endearing humor of the earlier two.
