Someone is Stealing My Dirt

March 31, 2006, 3:34 pm

I’ve got a pile of topsoil behind my driveway that I got last summer to fill in some holes. I used about half of it, then it got a little overgrown with plants. I noticed the other day that all the plants and weeds had been removed from the pile and it looked a little [...]

Define Your Background Color, March Edition

March 27, 2006, 9:34 pm

Ah, yes, it’s that time once again: the magical trip through various sites that haven’t done much in the way of testing and assume that everyone has their background color set to white. But first, as usual, a rundown of the sites from last time to see if any corrections have been made.

March 5, 2006, 7:29 pm

I watched the Spielberg War of the Worlds today on DVD, and my thoughts on it really haven’t changed since I saw it in the theater: good effects, great sound, poor movie. But I realized that the DVD could have really improved the movie immensely with one special feature: the ability to mute Dakota [...]

Friday With The Flu

March 3, 2006, 8:27 am

It’s day four of my having the flu, despite getting a flu shot. This is also the first time I feel badly enough to miss work (I telecommuted as much as I could the other days, to protect my co-workers).

Luckily, Friday is filled with happiness and joy on the net. Here are a few of [...]
