On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oh, I love CSS Zen Garden. I just haven't had the time to really work through much of anything on it. So when we got a sort of premade site at work, but wanted some menus to move around I googled some directions and then poked at things until the menus went where I wanted. Eventually I'll have a few (maybe a few dozen) hours together to learn CSS properly.

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

A List Apart is a great site. I love them and their design philosophy. And their site renders really well on my teensy phone.

CSS boggles my mind. Just so much in there.

A friend of mine would like a website that looks something like this for her photo and card business.

I've crawled through about 500 templates so far and have not found anything as simple and elegant. Can anyone point me to a likely source? She needs an integrated cart for sales.

How can I change the destination folder of the Movies icon in Leopard's finder?

(When I migrated everything to this computer, I left Movies behind because I was short on disc space. Now I have all that media on an external drive, but I can't figure out how to tell the computer that. When I click on that icon, it tells me it can't find the volume Movies.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Here's one way, using Terminal:

That worked great, Dan. Thanks!

Oh, W3Schools also has a decent CSS reference.

A cool example of steganography.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

My 80 year old mom is still quite active and travels a lot. She'd really like a portable GPS that she could use in her own car but also transfer to rentals. Anyone have suggestions? Keep in mind that she's 80.
