HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LILIAN!!
I absolutely buy that AmazonFail was a glitch, or at least unintended consequences. (As I pointed out in BHP's LJ, this sort of thing happens where I work all the time. Not in terms of LBGT content specifically, but in terms of individual developers' pet projects launching live on the website without any testing beyond "does my shiny new toy work the way I pictured it?" and not, say, "does my shiny new toy BREAK BUSINESS CRITICAL FUNCTIONALITY for oh, the entire US sales team.")

Happy Lillian Day!

Happy Birthday, Lillibean!
She's not only gorgeous, Plei, she is preternaturally self-possessed.

Whether the Amazon thing was a mistake or corporate assiness, I just want to take the opportunity to say Support your local independent bookseller! And if you don't have a local one in these troubled times, support independent booksellers elsewhere on the internet!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy Birthday Lillian!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Theo, the Lofotenmoose guy is more than a little esoteric, and not in the least concerned with graceful degradation. The pages now work on more browsers than they had when he developed them, but my recent immersion into CSS has appalled me about IE's compatibility with the current CSS standard. Opera makes a lot of noise about CSS3 and HTML5, which is all well and nice for *tomorrow*, but the most recent version of IE isn't doing everything in CSS 2.x that I want it to.
Unlike Lofotenmoose I will not break it, though.
I love maxdesign--I recced it in Buffistechnology recently. It's a bit repetitious, but they seem to be trying to make every page as independent as possible, so power to them. They're very well laid out, and a great quick reference, especially the Selectutorial.
I have a whole window of CSS-related tabs open that I'm flipping between for reference and inspiration to try and make something happen. All for a very simple couple pages!
At my last big software development shop, the developers couldn't roll stuff out, period. It would take a lot of people to make an Amazon glitch, including management. Oh, dev was irritated with the duration of the cycle, but given some of the stuff they'd pulled before the rules were instituted, they had no one to blame but themselves. Whoever writes Amazon's search test cases is probably stinging right now something awful.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, Lillian!
Love the cranky bunny pictures--and, Kat, Matilda has the same identical trike as Noah. After months of not sparing a thought for it, she's been struggling with it all weekend. Her legs are still too short to properly pedal, but just by the tiniest little bit. It's very frustrating for her, poor boo.

Happy birthday, Lillybean Squeakaboo, Princess of All You Survey. The camera still loves you.
Grace has the proper reaction to bunny ears.

Unlike Owen, who wore his until they fell apart in July last year. He's less enchanted with the pair I got him this year.
