Sometimes, firefox doesn’t work the way I expect it. That doesn’t mean it is broken, it is just different. Usually its a “better” kind of different, and sometimes not. This is a case of somewhat not.
Using Cascading Style Sheets to define the way a page looks is not only awesome, but simply [...]

I love Google docs.  It brings me joy to no end.  Though I have longed for folders and a way to organize documents, I have discovered how to use tags to organize it all.  Google, thank you.

Flickr and K2

November 23rd, 2006 · 4 Comments

Short Pumpkin and a Long Jacket

November 6th, 2006 · No Comments

By “short”, I do not mean in stature, but rather, in breadth of life.  On Tuesday, October 31st, 2006, the Cheat Pumpkin was stolen from off our front porch.  Julie’s pumpkin was smashed to pieces, but apparently our pumpkins’ attackers took great admiration (or pity) on the Cheat pumpkin, and simply stole him away.

Doctor’s appointment and a new milestone

November 6th, 2006 · No Comments

So I went to my SECOND doctor’s appointment today. They said it was too soon to hear the baby’s heartbeat. Maybe next month!! I really want to wait until I hear the heartbeat before I spill the beans at my job. I’m hoping that by next month I will be able [...]
