    • I’m a Case Study I'm a case study in a textbook -- and, contrary to what might be believed, it's _not_ a psychological textbook. Rather, it's the latest repercussion from my fifteen minutes of fame way back when. ➡
    • Links for September 10th through September 11th Sometime between September 10th and September 11th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! ➡

    • Me and a Cockatiel Spent a very nice day at the Woodland Park Zoo today. I've got the photos sorted out and almost ready to upload, but that'll come tomorrow. In the meantime, I've uploaded four taken today of either Prairie or me. Consider it something of a 'teaser'. ➡

    • In Transition Along with upgrading the backend of the site to Movable Type 3.2, which I did last week sometime, I've decided to upgrade my templates to the new MT3.2 styles. For now, though...things might be a bit odd. Bear with me, hopefully this won't last _too_ long. ➡
    • Basic HTML tag cheatsheet After a friend asked me a few questions about the basic HTML tags while trying to clear up some confusion, I went Googling for some sort of cheat sheet listing just the most basic tags. I couldn't find one -- just came up with a lot of full-blown tutorials or cheat sheets listing every tag in the book -- so I tossed this together. Hopefully it helps. ➡

    • Can't it wait? Why in God's name do people find it acceptable to stand at the urinal and talk on their cell phone at the same time? ➡
    • Who's on stage? Okay, this is it — the last one. Mostly because it's the last version that I know of, but hey, that's okay. This one comes from one of the best TV shows of all time, the Animaniacs. ➡
    • Hu's on first? Seeing as how something tells me this is a good day for a little levity, and I keep getting laughs out of these, I'm continuing on a theme here. Hopefully nobody minds too terribly much! I actually had this posted on another blog a while ago, but here it is again. ➡
    • Who's on first? I gave a copy of the 'Who's on first' takeoff that I posted earlier to the guys I work with, and one of them was completely confused. He's originally from Britain, and had never heard of the original Abbott and Costello routine! ➡
    • Abbott and Costello in Computerland Okay, one last thing before I head off to work. Dad sent me this today, and I damn near fell off my chair laughing at it… ➡
    • Print-friendly pages with CSS Printing often seems to be the bane of web publishing doesn't it? Thankfully, CSS allows a remarkably simple way to avoid having to deal with all these frustrations. With a little bit of coding time, you can create a special 'print stylesheet' that will determine exactly how your page looks when it's printed out. ➡

    • Oingo Boingo Y'know, I wish I had an excuse for not discovering Oingo Boingo years ago...but I don't. ➡
    • So it’s been a year One year ago, something huge and immensely terrifying happened. In the year since then, however, a multitude of other, smaller, less immediately noticeable things have happened (usually in the name of 'patriotism'), that added up scare me as much as (and quite possibly more than) the attacks themselves. ➡
    • Portland protest All the best things about this nation are under assault, and we have lost a great deal of ground already. We have mostly lost it through shortsightedness, internal bickering, and an annoying habit of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. We need to stop acting as though 'smash the state, stick it to the Man' is anything other than a child's point of view. ➡

    • Still can’t really believe it All and all, it's been an absolutely incredible and tragic day. The single biggest terrorist attack the world has ever seen, with repercussions that can only be speculated about at this early stage, and only the weeks to come will show where things go from here. ➡
    • How far is this going to go? My thoughts and prayers certainly go out today -- not just for the unfortunate victims and families of victims of the attacks this morning, but for an, if not peaceful, than at least less-than-cataclysmic resolution to this entire affair. ➡
