3 columns

Posted on August 15, 2004 | 2 comments

So I’m trying a three columns layout. It should really work as well as the two did unless I missed something minor. It doesn’t look well in IE on OS X (but not much looks good in it), but I don’t think anything overlaps in any version that you can’t read the content. Any the things that tend to goof up when things do that are the “extra things” which have no necessary content (links, rolls, etc.) even though it’s good content! I’ve tried this on a few OS X, Windows XP and Linux Fedora browsers and it’s pretty consistent.

I’ll be changing the colors and such soon, I just need to make sure that this holds up okay…

SpiderMan 2

Posted on August 15, 2004 | Leave a comment

spideysplitFinally saw Spiderman 2! Great special effects. Actually saw him move slow enough to see the costume, which was pretty cool. Lots of action, good effects, lots of little cameos and more. Plus they do a great intro to remind you what happened last movie.

TM and KD were great but KD just isn’t very cute when she doesn’t smile (spoiler: she’s pissed at Peter a lot).

BTW, have you seen the lego version of the movie?

Mutually exclusive

Posted on August 14, 2004 | 1 comment

So I’m reading Zhaba Zhournal and looked at her about zhaba link and one of the items says:

Married, monogamous, bisexual (no, those aren’t mutually exclusive)

and I just keep chuckling at her parenthetical information. Did she get comments or just put that in in the first place? (I’m pretty big on parenthetical information myself).

9 Months (revised)

Posted on August 13, 2004 | 1 comment

I’ve been blogging for nine months. I’ve accomplished part of what I wanted. I’ve got random people reading and finding my ramblings (random wasn’t a big mission, but I need at least a few people to read it). I started the first part as being very nice and never complaining too much. I migrated that to a blog for talking (and occasionally whining) but wondering is anyone listening? and occasionally finding out that they are.

At the same time I needed a 12 step program due to too much meme-img. To feed this addiction I created two small meme-sites (http://thedailymeme.com/ (and a sub-site of lost memes ) that list daily, weekly, monthly and other memes to help people find more. Some of the odd one-short of propagating things and some of the odder memes arein the lost section of the same site. This was a accidental byproduct of memeing.

I have my gizmoboy site and that’s all but ready to go. But just haven’t found the time to finish it and get it on-line.

I did do a London Blog for my recent trip which generated a lot of friend/family interest in that it was just for them. I separated the London info from my regular blog to keep the non-regular-readers from finding it by accident. If they want to read it, go ahead, but I’m not going to accidentally show them my “inner stuff” if they can’t find it…. or at least ask for it.

BurnIt Summer 2004

Posted on August 13, 2004 | Leave a comment

I sent out my Burn It CDs late (but it was more than a few days ago, so if you didn’t get yours it’ll be there any minute) the theme was songs from movies. I was in two BurnIt groups (so I had six people sending CDs to me (actually I only had packages from five of them) and I had to send to the six of them and the coordinator.

I was nervous at first Alfie sent hers’ out way early and the packaging was beautiful. Great cover, printed CD, artwork for the back and inside (behind the CD). Even her printing on the envelope was great. Very professional and I don’t think it’s related to her major. She set the bar very high, the rest had some nice ones and some plain ones so I was feeling better for mine. Mine might have been in 2nd place for looks but I was still left in her dust.

I do have one complaint about iTunes, until you burn you don’t know how long your disc is, I mean who measures time by saying 1.1 hours?!?

Some were songs I liked, some were artists and some were movies I liked that I wanted a song from. It was hard since some of the movies just have a great sound track (Some Kind of Wonderful, The Lost Boys, Pretty in Pink, Boys on the Side, Bill and Ted’s, City of Angels, etc.) Here’s the track listing if you’re curious.

So the movie of the night was… Kill Bill 2.

Quentin Tarantino is so weird, but we watched it. It was fun with usually enough of a warning that you don’t have to stare at too much of the gore. Spidey probably would have been more clean fun.
