I was astonished to read the A List Apart article Beyond DOCTYPE: Web Standards, Forward Compatibility, and IE8 and even more astonished to read compliance with the message from Eric Meyer, Molly Holzschlag, and the WaSP organization.[BurningBird]

The Pathology Of The Politics Of Fear At least that's how I first mis-read the title of The psychology of the politics of fear. ( Jan 10 2008, 08:22:06 AM ) Entertainment Permalink

I Am A Hippy

You are a Hippie

You are a total hippie. While you may not wear birks or smell of incense, you have the soul of a hippie. You don't trust authority, and you do as you please. You're willing to take a stand, even when what you believe isn't popular. You like to experiment with ideas, lifestyles, and different subcultures. You always gravitate toward what's radical and subversive. Normal, mainstream culture doesn't really resonate with you.

What's up in Washington? I subscribe to a feed from WashingtonWatch.com, and this morning I see a bunch of weird activity. Does anyone know the background on this set of recent bills? There seems to be a pattern, but the actual text of the bills haven't made it up onto the web yet.

....And we're back! I finally got some room to setup my server again. It's old and it's crappy, but it runs, for the time being. Service may be spotty, just to warn you. ( Dec 17 2007, 09:55:20 PM ) News Permalink

going dark for a while

FYI: We sold our home, but haven't lined up a new home to buy yet. So we'll be moving into some temporary housing, and I don't know if I'll be able to re-establish Brainopolis any time soon. ( Jul 24 2005, 09:00:48 PM ) Personal Permalink
