I can’t remember his name (unless specifically reminded), but The Smoking Gun has archived the address at which he was arrested for, well, playing bongos naked.

What a day for Grace to learn to ride her big girl bike! (The Dora one, not the Disney one.)
Grace rode her big girl bike around the block and to the park, then rode it back home after swinging and climbing for a while. 
Then, she rode around the cul-de-sac for a while.
Beautiful!

It’s nice to see that there are other people who keep links to their favorite Firefox Extensions.
Perhaps I’m just lazy by putting the latest versions of the ones I use in one place.
Not only do I keep my extensions locally (yet globally accessable), but I also keep my adblock configuration that way as well!

Fantastic weather — too nice, in fact. Everyone, and I do mean everyone was at the Zilker Kite Festival today. That’s why we stayed home and enjoyed the Sun Tree Kite Festival.

We went to the local comedy club. It wasn’t great, but:
- Next week? Christian comedy.
- Last week? Pauly Shore.

AIM’s New Terms Of Service are going to be the best thing to happen to jabber, ever!
Also, check into using gaim.

Isn’t is odd that the last time we saw Robert Blake in a film it was Lost Highway?
Isn’t it odd that Lynch now admits he got it from the OJ trial?
The more things change, the more they change.
Oh, wait. The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same.
Hey, why is the contrapositive of those two statements a cliche?
Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
Using javascript to balance the 3-column css

In the wordpress theme I prefer (link here to original), I hacked in lots of purple.
Then I wanted to change the right column width. Eww — it was using background images of a fixed size to color the left and right columns!
Pulled out those background images, and replaced them with color strings ala #666 and #ccc.
Then, the columns on the left and right didn’t go all the way down, and were never balanced with each other nor the center column.
Finally, I found some javascript (which can be loaded in a separate file) — Balanced Columns and from there, this page.
The really good news is that it locks up IE. Yay! OK, disable that for ie, and add a “get firefox” link to the links.

Fat Actress (which is actually pretty fscking funny, despite the fact the KA is deeply into scientology. Or has she wized up and left it? Who cares?)

I finally got my hands on the first season DVD of Made in Canada (which ran as “The Industry” here in the US on PBS and Bravo).
Some of my favorite quotes:
- (after the movie Vigilante Vengence is cancelled because Jemery Black has had his knee broken)
Victor: The movie will still be finished, it will just be shorter and…on television.
Jeremy: Network television?
Victor: Oh, yes, I think so!
Jeremy: American network?
Victor: (Somberly)Too soon to say
.Jeremy: (with disgust) What, Canadian?
Victor: (Even more somberly) I don’t want to make any promises. -
Richard: Hey! You! Lay off the Chez Whiz — that’s for the talent!
-
Victor: Variety is all the same.
- Alan is getting a lifetime achievement award at the Gemini Awards Show
Alan: I’m a humanitarian, understand, a humanitarian, and I want people to know it; so work it in or I will make it my personal mission to watch you starve to death!

In order to feel like I accomplished something, I’ve upgraded both Showboat Cove and they.com to wordpress.
