Handy Tool

Just found a handy tool online called CSSEdit. Its a pretty damn cool Mac OS X app that lets you edit style sheets in a much more straightforward way.

So now i don’t have any excuses for fixing the colors on my blog (except for the fact that I have no taste when it comes to such things)…

They’ve GOT to be kidding

iLoo

Its not April 1st so I really dn’t understand… are they SERIOUS?

Even funnier – the latest earth shattering innovation from MSFT is Athens. The biggest thing I can tell in this announcement is a monitor that has an eMail waiting light and a phone that will mute your music when you answer it… LORD… I know i’m an Apple head so they have to go a long way to impress me.. But PLEASE.. is that REALLY the best they can do these days?

Anyway… Just funny…

More Sillyness

Found another cool tip to get nice titles in your web page using javascript and style sheets… just more sillyness but being the big ol’ geek that I am I had to wire ’em up… Will probably tone down the usage once the novelty wears of but in the mean time its kidna fun! 🙂

(oh yea… just roll your mouse over any link to see ’em… Like this one.)

Weekly Wrap-Up #53 – Birthdays

1. When is your birthday?
July 7, 1970… Made me 7 years old on 7/7/77… Just love that cuz I had nothing to do with it and its totally silly..

2. How accurate is your zodiac sign?
I have no clue… I may very well be the only gay man in existance that doesn’t know a damn thing about ‘my sign’ nor do I care…

3. What do you typically do to celebrate your birthday?
Hang out with friends. My absolute favorite thing to do for my birthday is dinner and time with my friends.. Since my B-day is in the summer a bbq is GREAT… Brings out the social beast..

4. Do you like to receive presents? Why or why not?
Only if they’re silly joke presents… Fact is i’m one of these that buys things I the minute they pop to mind but it can be fun to see how creative (and crude) people can get…

5. Describe the best birthday and/or present you ever had.
2 of them pop to mind. First was in college – I interned in SF every year so I was away from all of my college friends on my birthday every year which REALLY sucked… So one year my friend Christy got everyone together – in Colorado I might add – and threw a big birthday party. One person had a video camera and taped everything.. Then they boxed up the video tape along with all of the party streamers, open gifts, and other party remnants, and mailed ’em to me so I could see the birthday party… Sounds kinda cruel but made me feel special..

The second was my 30th birthday party.. Kevin threw a surprise party for me for my b-day – which generally never works… But he and a bunch of my friends were in on it… Chris brought me out for cocktails in cupertino and stalled and stalled – all the while I talked to kevin who said he and I were going for dinner and then meet people at the end up… i’m thinkin – hmmm.. that sucks.. my 30th birthday and thats it. Dinner at the usual and then MAYBE a drink… Chris drove me home and dropped me off… Walked in the door and saw balloons on the floor and like EVERYONE I KNEW was there.. was SO NICE…

Colors

Ugggg… Sorry kevin, as well coordinated as these colors may be on here, they’re REALLY hard to read…

I’ll fix ’em ASAP.. Can’t let myself do that right now though or I’ll waste the day doing that instead of the job that they pay me to do…

(Ok.. I did lighten the link color – that helps out some… have to sit down with kevin and look at the rest since he’s Mr. Color)

iTunes and Addiction

Ok… So there’s no hiding that i’m a big Apple Fan… Been that way since WAY before I started workin here… But this iTunes / iTunes store is WAY cool… and its DANGEROUS… Two things in particular have prove a way cool time sync…

– Sharing Music via Rendevouz: If you’re on a network (like at work) you can share your music so other people can listen to what you have while you’re connected… No stealing music.. no copying.. just sharing.. Our whole floor at work has made a tacet agreement to share their libraries so now I have a HUGE collection of tunes to get me through the work day..

– Music Shopping: This is REALLY DAMN COOL… iTunes is wired to a store so you can go find the music you want up there, listen to previews, and buy the stuff you want… legally… REALLY DANGEROUS… WAY too easy to get tunes in a way that doesn’t make me feel guilty… 😉

Nuff rah rah stuff.. Just had to share! 🙂 So DAMN COOL…

Just in a cheery mood today I guess! :):)
