“There is no reason … to do [something] you hate. Because you can lose just as much money being happy as hell.”

Wow. Really, Chris Strode, did you think nobody would notice?

The appendices of the CSS specification are in alphabetical order

The appendices of the CSS specification are in alphabetical order:

The game is afoot!

Also, I’m super stoked about the CSS 2.1 appendices.

Also, I just lost the game.

I made a postcard for you.

What are you supposed to say when you run into a guy you haven’t seen in twenty years?

A conversation I have every month or so

dwineman:

Me: (tries to visit a local restaurant’s website via iPhone)
Restaurant website: I require Flash. Fuck off.
Me: I just want to know how late you’re open.
Website: Nope.
Me: But I’m on my phone. Don’t you have a little “HTML Version” link up in the corner or something?
Website: I’m ignoring you.

And that’s where I switch to Yelp or OpenTable, since both are happy to provide me with an awesome iPhone experience.

And by “important bits” I mean, of course, my mustache.

And by “important” I mean, of course, that I’m not foolish enough to let an untrained barber wave a really sharp knife around that close to my nose and mouth.

Even if said barber is me.

Were it Wednesday, I would most likely post this gratuitous photo of the intersection of memes, i.e. my hot new shirt.

Dear Apple Store employees,

When you say “let me look at it”, please note that there is a definite distinction between “let me look at it so I can help you” and “let me look at it so I can check if you’re a moron”. I promise it’s not the latter, so you’re wasting my time if you don’t mean the former.

Thank you for taking 20 minutes of my time to verify my claim that the blinky lights fail to come on when you plug in my AirPort Express. I already knew that. The least you could have done was replace my obviously defective hardware instead of making me set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow.

Love, bob

This is Sierra

Sierra is a very sweet two year old purebred Bengal living in Utah. She can be around dogs, but she really needs to be an only cat. Her owner just rescued another cat (and now she has three) and Sierra doesn’t play well with the others.

If you live in Utah and are interested in giving her a home, let me know :)

“He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity.”

- Some guy named John Foster (prob’ly this one) doesn’t think I’m crazy.
