My mother just announced she's moving to Washington this Sunday. For those of you keeping track at home, that's 4 interstate moves in just over two years. Someone had a funny comment the other day when I mentioned how much she (and therefore I) moved..."So when does the warrant expire?" I'm seriously beginning to wonder.

Can someone who's smarter than me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me why an animated gif in one of the pages I'm developing stops being animated sometimes after the form is submitted or the page is redirected by a button. The gif is in a div that's hidden most of the time. After calling a form submit, the div's style is changed to show it and that's the ( Read more... )

When I saw the teaser for this article about a blind kid playing video games, I figured either he was playing special games with lots of vibrational feedback or perhaps had partial vision but was considered legally blind. Nope, he's completely blind and the games are the likes of mortal kombat and soul caliber. He plays facing backwards to freak ( Read more... )

Assuming I did at least reasonably decently on the test, I'm sure I've got an A in the lab portion ( Read more... )

Quote of the day: One woman said that while on vacation to Greece people said she could go topless on the beach, that it was acceptable over there, but she declined because if she went topless then her knees wouldn’t get any sun.

Last week I was going to post triumphantly, if I got time, about how I survived two voluntary shots. I will be volunteering at the hospital so I needed an mumps/measles/rubella booster and a TB test. Anyway, I did survive, and I was very brave for someone who's terrified of shots (not needles in general, just ones that put things in, out is fine). ( Read more... )

There is a guy (homeless I assume), who stands near my office building pretty much every day, all day. I don't ever give money to anyone in DT Crossing because of the sheer volume of panhandlers, and because I get to see them all later in the day passed out literally in the gutter or across the sidewalk, with their empty bottles of listerine on the ( Read more... )

I had a good weekend...didn't get as much done as I should have, but that's probably why it was good. :P Friday I went out and irresponsibly shirked my homework. Nya nya nya physics lab report, take that! hiddenbear and his housemate A really have such a wonderful setup. Two great friends, great people, cute house, I was just happy to be there ( Read more... )
