First shoot done.

Wow. Yesterday was a) a lot of fun, and b) hard work. It was great hanging out with Pancho all day taking photos. I learned a lot, got more practice with a speedlight strobe and got to see a lot of friends. It was a good time.

I'm going to try and get the photos I took …

Making Headway

Last night, while nothing was on TV, I started working on my blog redesign. And I actually got a large chunk of it done. Seriously, the video screencast series that Chris Coyier over at CSS-tricks.com put out has helped me out so much. It's been really fantastic.

So, …

It's Out! It's Out!

Awesome. WP 2.6.1 is out today.

That makes me happy.

ARRRRRRG! Gah! WTF?

That's all.

Absolutely ridiculous.

OLYMPIC GOLDEN BOY PHELPS EATS 12,000 CALORIES A DAY - New York Post.

Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.

That's …

Almost Finished

The new theme, which I have dubbed Rock Out Loud for the general WordPress community and "AgapeFest 20093 for the festival, is really really close to being done. And actually, the WP version with widget ready sidebars and that is completely done... except I might give …

What I Did Today

Take the Long Road and Walk It

Jailbreaking. The Never-ending Quest

I am once again jailbreaking my iPod Touch. Wish me luck. So far Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 is running smoothly. But it does take a while for it to build the IPSW.

Anyway, there are kittenz in the pwnage tool and that makes me smile. We'll see how this all turns out. I haven't …

Brideshead Revisited

We went and saw Brideshead Revisited today at Plaza Frontenac. It was really moving. I'm not exactly sure why I connected with it so strongly, but it definitely stirred something inside me.

As a film, the cinematography was beautiful, the acting impeccable and the …

I Love Accomplishment

I feel really good this evening. I spent two days today doing markup and styling for the new AgapeFest.com and I must say I feel really good about it. It is rewarding to me to come up with and then implement a design that actually looks good.

What's been particularly …

Top Five (or more)

It's old. It's been done. Actually, Ryan just did one on his blog. But this is my blog and damnit, I'm going to do one too.

So, here are my top albums (that I can listen to over and over again at any time and enjoy it as much as I did the first day I heard it and all …

That Time of Summer Again

So I wrote that headline and then realised that it could be about any number of things. It's the beginning of August when Illinois gets nasty hot and humid. It's the time of year where we get ravaged by mosquitos and see tornados come up out of nowhere. It's the time of …

Tornadoes Put Me in the Basement

So yeah... Tornado warning. Tornado siren. We go downstairs, it goes off. Then we look out the back windows. It's super-dark. So we decide to go downstairs to the basement. And that's where we sit now. I ran upstairs to get my camera and looked outside... it was pretty …

Designing for WordPress

Yay internet! So yesterday a link on Matt Mullenweg's blog showed up in my WordPress admin. The post contained a link to this post on css-tricks.com. If you are a WordPress designer, that post is an excellent resource. It's a screencast of how to create your own …

The More I'm Alive, The More I Hate People

How can someone presume to be smarter than the architects and engineers who have studied for years to understand the physics and sciences of how a massive building can stay standing, just because she is a lover of history??? There is no way that you could have any idea …
