Recently I was looking at Veoh. It seems to be a YouTube competitor. It has a nice UI and works pretty much the same way as YouTube. However, they allow you to download any of the videos, if you register. They also have a Veoh Player, but as far as I can see, the downloads…
jQuery 1.1.3 just got released. It’s 800% faster on average than 1.1.2 and still 20k. It also hase a few bells and whistles which will make my life easier. One thing I wish I had last month is a negative selector like $(“div[@id!=test]”). The exclamation point helps because I can say do something to anything…
I just finished watching the movie Bridge to Terabithia with Katie and the Kids. It was the saddest thing I have seen in years. I almost started crying. I had that terrible lump in my throat. I can still feel it. I thought it was going to be a movie like The Lion, The Witch…
I have been getting myself accustomed to the idea that my first book advance check will go to a list of fun stuff. Here is my current list. Logitech Harmony 800 Remote Control (or equivalent) Digital recorder for Katie. I don’t know which one is best. It’s for recording her singing. Wii. You know, for…
An engineer friend of mine needed some help on CSS. He was extremely frustrated with the CSS. As I fixed it, he looked at me like I was performing black magic. I asked, “Isn’t programming like this?” He said, “No, programming is more deterministic.” This made me think about all of the HTML/CSS I have…
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should. –Jean Rostand I highly resemble this quote.
Surprisingly, I get alot of traffic from Google for my post about Dynamite Hack’s Boy’s in da hood. The video is even better than the lyrics, if that is possible. Thank YouTube for the video. Man, YouTube kicks ass. Ethan was singing Bon Jovi’s You Give Love a Bad Name, because he heard Blake Lewis…
Exciting news: The book publisher has green lit my book. I am starting to write it now. It is about jQuery and how it empowers designers. I will give a better summary after I work on it for a little while. I get an advance and everything. The book will be made of physical paper…
In tennis, there is a terrible disease called, “Your inner dialogue.” I have this in spades. I just recently got my raquet restrung with a different string. The pro said, the softer string will break sooner, and the medium string will have less touch. So when I played, I literally couldn’t keep the ball in the court. …
So much to do. So little time. I find lists to help me organize my thinking. I had a dream last night that I was adding the Google Analytics script to http://js.commadot.com. I really should do that. Check out a JPG of the new Google Analytics version coming soon. I like the design and am…
So after Danny slammed my style last time, I decided that commadot.com needed a refresher. First I started looking at WordPress themes. After alot of looking, this one caught my eye. I started hacking it from there. I changed the graphics, the text, the order of some things. Then I added jQuery and started messing…
I was close with my prediction. Adam Carriker went one spot before the Jets pick. I have mixed feelings about the draft. They got decent players, who will most likely start. But they also gave up alot of picks to get them. Statistics show that that you as much of a chance to find a…
These days there is alot of news about terror. Bombs in Bagdad. Nutballs in Virginia Tech. 9/11 and Columbine still seems fresh in my mind. I think about how people react during these terrible moments of fear. The students in Virginia Tech apparently froze. They hid under the desks while the nutcase walked methodically around…
The Jets have their 2007 schedule. I am making early predictions this year. God has not said these predictions would happen. But I feel that a positive attitude is the most important thing. Only 2 weeks till draft day. I can feel the excitement. April 28-29 Draft Pick 25 – Defense – Ok, Ill make…
