Here’s a tip for all you frustrated pixel pushers who really really want to love CSS but can’t seem to get things where you want them: using margin, margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, margin-bottom is just as good as top, left, right and bottom.

Nature does its own special effects.
So, let’s say there was this bus crash. Two buses, one carrying Ladysmith Black Mambazzo and another carrying The Chieftains collide, spewing band members, instruments and voice all over the landscape.

I have some serious stuff I want to write about today or tomorrow, but I’m going to wait until I’m more awake before I do it. I got Movable Type installed on the Powerbook yesterday because I realized I’m never going to get anything done if I work on this stuff just at lunch. So, […]
