Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's only a matter of time before Google merges with iRobot and humanity is doomed.

Oh, dear. CADIE goes mobile...

Polaroid has a new "instant digital" camera out, FYI... [link]
with the screen, and the printer, I wonder how long the batteries last?

Omnis, that would be awesome!
Now I really need to call Time/Warner. What is your time frame for wanting to DVR?

I move the 11th and I'm heading to Yosemite with my sister on the 20th, so before that would be great. But really, I'm so happy to not to make this purchase that any time is great.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I have an ipod classic that's about a year old now. Lately, whenever I hook it up to the computer, it doesn't show, is corrupted, needs reformatting, can't do that until I let the battery die because the ipod froze, but it didn't freeze til I plugged it into the laptop.

Grrr.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I was attempting to update some of the apps on my touch through the app store and two of the apps have frozen in the update stage and have been that way for about a week now. i tried going back into the app store and redownloading, but since they're technically there it won't let me. i hoped when i plugged it into my computer it would update, but no luck there either.

any suggestions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love this example of the flexibility of CSS. We're not that flexible here, but it's amazing what you can do with judicious abstraction and application of images. I mean this and this are exactly the same HTML.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I really need to grok CSS.

I am amused by the illustration in the "Make 'em Proud" design.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Make 'em Proud is my favourite, in terms of how much styling was done to the base HTML.

I'm currently working on diagramming the CSS structure of the two main pages here--index.php and showthread.php. I'll link to the GIFs in BBABB++ once I'm done, if you want to play around. I found this site has very clear (if repetitive) explanations of some finicky things, and it gave me the idea of drawing it.

Any excuse to Visio!

I've also requested Xhtml and CSS for Dummies and another book through Interlibrary Loan.
