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…
Apparently the blogger who writes “Creating Passionate Users” is discontinuing the blog. Take a look at the graphics at the bottom. Each one is genius. Absolute Genius. They really capture the designer’s dillema. Thanks for the inspiration, sorry to see you go.
I went to an Orthopedic to check out my elbow. It had beeen bothering me for a month or so. He says its tendonitis and will go away. I told him, "Not in my family it doesn’t. Once we get hurt, we stay hurt." But he gave me pills and suggestions. if all else fails,…
The Sheild Season 6 started last night. It is the best show on television. Forest Whitaker is the hateable bad guy ever. He needs to be shot. Love this show. Matthew is wearing underwear for a few hours a day. WOO HOO! He also is obsessed with that punk rock song. HEY HO, LET’S GO! …
