Be careful what you send people, they may just laugh at you with the world watching

This is just funny and clever stuff because it is in context. The dogs leaping into the pool isn’t bad viewing either.

January 12, 2009

I just spent the last hour of my life fighting with some CSS that works perfectly in Safari and MESI 7.0, but not in MSIE 6.0 or the “standards compliant” Firefox whatever version it is now. Since I am working pre-coffee, pre-office hours from a laptop on my kitchen table, I don’t have the luxury [...]

July 3, 2008

There is a lot of talk about Scott McClellan’s new book. Comments from it range of “now, we know the truth” to “he is bitter” to … oh, who really cares. Just everyone shut up already. If you want, buy and read the book, if not, just quit talking like you know anything.

The real death of the Dayton Daily News

April 20, 2008

What I think about the writers’ strike

November 27, 2007

I was going to stay silent on this, but one too many people used the term “their fair share” and that just sent me over the edge.

March 5, 2006

It has been AGES since we blogged, so our loyal fans are probably wondering where we have been. We are still here, doing three walks a day.
