Growing up in San Francisco
So I’m watching the kids, and the boy decides to pull out the truck basket and dump it on the floor. He then proceeds to retrieve the footrest from under the desk, and begins to assemble the following (click thumbnail for full size image) without any prodding. I think San Francisco has made its mark……

What a weekend
Welcome Natalie (yesterday), hello blackout (yesterday and this morning), miserable AV equipment (all day today), reasonable 5K time (Golden Gate Park this morning), and an ever-growing excitement in the boy about the coming of Christmas. Got to head to bed, since he’ll be up before 6am as always tomorrow.

Haven’t had an opportunity yet…
Very few Macs at work, and little need to try the collaborative writing/editing process at home, but I’m curious about SubEthaEdit (formerly known as Hydra). I’ve installed it, but haven’t used it with someone. Someone documented what happened with an open shared blank document. Sounds like the usual stages of a mailing list: quiet discussion,…

I want a favicon!
Those tiny graphics that appear in most modern browsers next to your URLs are called favicons. Here’s one starting point among dozens of possibilities for learning how to create one. I am so graphically challenged that I’ll have to get some help, but how hard can it be to do a clock? (Answer: for me,…

Against my better instincts
I often wait a couple of weeks when Software Update pops up with something new from Apple, to see if any bad news filters out over the first few days. But with MacOS 10.3.2, I didn’t wait on my 12″ PowerBook G4. Reports are coming in that this was a bad idea, in a minor…

CSS for the future
I don’t know much about CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), but I know enough to support them strongly, both at work (where it matters) and here (where I just grabbed a default theme, but made sure it employed CSS). Maybe after I get through all the lessons (great stuff, with solid, interactive examples) and start coding…
