Who was it that started linking to items on think geek? ekoostik, or Gossip?
Come on, which one of you did it first? I need to know who to blame for my new obsession.
I WANT one of these, this shirt and this shirt, one of these for days I should “dress up”, and a couple of these, (with that vid-cam attachment I can’t seem to find now.)
And that’s jsut a small sample of all the geeky goodness.

In my aimless meanderings across the net, I came across an interesting atricle about online music downloads written by the singer/songwriter Janis Ian.
She has an interesting point of view, and I thought I should share the link with everyone: THE INTERNET DEBACLE – AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW
(I’ve never heard her music, but I’m going to DL some of her MP3’s when I’m done posting this.)
I was just about to post to the GLUE board about broken RSS feeds when I noticed that there was anotehr XML graphic on (almost) every page. one for RSS .92 and one for RSS 1.0 – So that’s why my feeds broke – Gossip went and changed their URIs on me. 😛
Guess I should pay more attention to the changelog.

New Web standards education and outreach forum: “W3C is starting a new discussion list, the Web standards education and outreach forum, for Web standards evangelists, authors, and…”
I’ve subscribed to the mailing list described above – I think I’m going to see what other list the W3C has to offer, too.
New CSS Tutorial: Web Page Reconstruction with CSS: “Although spilling into July a bit, Digital Web has one more tutorial for its June CSS theme. Web Page Reconstruction…”
I’m going to be looking over this tutorial when I have a chance to see if it can help with some of the IE rendering bugs I encountered with the redesign of my website
thinks he should find something else to write blog entries on.
Everyone is probably sick of hearing about my cats.
I already want to rework the design used on my website. There are a couple of rendering problems I’m going to try and fix while still maintaining valid code. (That reminds me, I should run the site thrugh the W3C validator and make sure it is actually valid…)
Update1: With a couple of minor fixes, (like specifying the character encoding,) the site now validates as HTML 4.0 Transitional. The CSS validates as well. Wheeee!
Update2: With a few more tweaks, the site now validates as HTML 4.01 Strict. (Except for the blog page.)
The page displays as intended in Mozilla 1.0 (Mac and PC). Opera 6 (PC) does a pretty good job of it, save for a problem with the page headlines. IE Mac (I foget which version is installed on that test machine) is better than IE 6 (PC) — but both are doing wierd crap to the margins. I think opera was doing something weird too – but it wasn’t as noticable as with IE.
I was afraid to open the page in NS4, and with good reason. I think I’m going to employ some of the techniques described on the WaSP and ALA websites to deal with that.

I can come up with WAY more useless things to do than these
Come on – who wouldn’t want to win a bet about drinking a 100-year-old soda?
I figure If I tell enough people about my sorry excuse for a website, I’ll be more motivated to actually work on it.
Im kind of embarrased that I make a living doing this stuff, and my site is so lame.

(second edit: www.hooloovoo.net has a new look. I still have some content to fix up, but it looks like everything is working.)

just learned that a 25 mega-ton blast centered on his house would, infact destroy the Greater San Fancisco Bay Area.
(edit: Interesting – the new emote seems to work okay in comments, but the username is left out on a blog entry…)
does another test
