Need A Happy?

The Buck Doesn’t Stop, It Gets Swept Away

Mike says it best\ I had a whole long post I was working on, but Mike’s post says everything I’m feeling, and does it better than I can. Go read it. Think about what’s happened to our country, to our institutions. Governing is a job for grownups, not for strutting, insensitive frat boys who make […]

Kevin is super!

On Friday, Kevin sent me roses to thank me for all of my work and support during his broken ankle angst and to say sorry for all of the hassle it has caused. Isn’t that sweet? He is the one with the broken foot so he is the one that should be getting flowers. But […]

AOL Does Something Cool For OS X

It’s been a rough ride for Mac AOL users (and employees). Ever since the corrupted online database bug in AOL 2.7, we’ve been stuck in the back seat of the AOL van. No longer! We now have a better Radio client than our Windows brethren!! It’s in beta now, but doesn’t feel beta. And this […]

I’m A Movable Beta Tester

I love Movable Type, which I think you all know. I love the templating system, the plug-ins, the language-agnostic-ness of it all. So, when they announced the beta for 3.2, I was all over it. If you use MT, go upgrade right now. If you don’t use it, I’m sure you have a good reason. […]

The Sun Breaks Through

Ireland: Athassel Priory I had a rough night last night. Sleeping with a ten pound ski boot wrapped in a pillowcase on your foot is not easy, even with vicodin. This morning isn’t much easier. I’m trying to concentrate, and listen to music, but I keep thinking about Ireland for some stupid reason, and Athassel […]

Instiki Stylesheet Tweaks

As you all know, I love Instiki. I saw a page on the site this morning for Stylesheet Tweaks and just had to share mine. I don’t like how narrow Instiki is by default, and I didn’t really like the font. So, I changed it. I’ve hacked a lot of the templates (to make the […]

It Will Never End

That’s probably true of a lot of things. In this case, I’m talking about the sad, sad, saga of my ankle (first post, second post). I went to the doctor this morning, and the news isn’t good. It’s not as bad as it could have been, but it’s bad enough that I’m not happy.\ There’s […]

Earth To Wolf

From this week’s Newsweek‘s quotes page, from the bearded one himself, Wolf Blitzer:\ bq. That’s my job. I’m a newsman. That’s what I try to do, is make news. And you try to avoid news. That’s your job.\ Wolf, you’re a newsman. Your job is not to make the news. Your job is to report […]

Whoops

I need to write myself a to-do list when I do an upgrade of Movable Type. Since MT 3.2’s been in beta, I think this is the second time I’ve forgotten to rename the comments script. If you’ve tried to post comments the past couple days, I’m sorry!! It should be fixed now…\ In other […]
