As Far As I Can Tell


On the sign for the Drake Party Center, they have all the appropriate listings below their name: Beer, Wine, and Liquor. Then, below that on the changeable part of the sign, they’re advertising: Hardcover Books: $4.99. It made me laugh really hard.

I got the book in the mail today that mentioned a couple of days ago. There was a slight mix-up with the shipping prices, which I didn’t make a big deal out of, so the seller said she’d throw in another book. It turned out to be Adobe Master Class: Web Site Redesigns by Darcy Dinucci. Not only is this a free book of higher retail value then the one I was paying for, but it’s written by the same woman who is writing the book TCUP is going to have a chapter in. Considering she’s only written a few books, it’s highly coincidental.

Good news with my truck: the alternator is just fine. The belt that it drives was loose had worn down because of it. It was slipping a lot and just generally not turning quick enough. We put a new belt on, tightened it up, and I’m back in business.

A while ago Ivo and I finished up our second design exchange; where we toss a Photoshop file back and forth until the design is done. Here are the progressive steps, and the final piece. If you click on the last step you can view it in its original size.

Meredith okay, car okay (minor repairs), and the feable old guy without his drivers license or insurance papers is also okay.

Worried about Prius, waiting to hear more about the accident. Very glad that Meredith is okay.

Impressed with the new Google Street View. I remember when Google Maps was new, I was blown away by direct drag. Web apps have come so far.

Watching Arrested Development while you get your teeth cleaned is great. Until you laugh.
