I was Best Man at my brother’s wedding last week. I think that perhaps the only reason was because Mia asked Ken to make me Best Man—Ken knows better. While my family does love me, they know that I am highly erratic at best.
Let’s put it this way: When I was seven years old, my [...]
Dru pointed out HTML Overlays which are the application of XUL Overlays (for Firefox and Thunderbird) to HTML.
Basically the idea is to break up a document into two groups:
The parts that change.
The parts that don’t (like the template).
The first group is actually delivered in the requested document. The second group is dynamically inserted by Javascript. [...]
When we arrived in Yosemite on a new moon late at night, the most noticeable thing was the stars in the sky. It was so dark you could easily pick out the Milky Way. So I stayed up even later to take 30 second bulb exposures with a tripod and timer. I wanted to edit [...]

Before I go on my rant, I need to give a little background.
When Andrei purchased his Nikon D70, we discovered that we had purchased different eBooks. I had purchased Peter iNova’s book and Andrei had gotten Thom Hogan’s. So after we had read our respective books, we initiated a exchange of CDs.
The two books are [...]
To further emphasize last week’s tirade, PC Magazine usurps C|Net’s position as poster child for digital photography review incompetence. This time it is a review of the Nikon D70s, a small upgrade of my Nikon D70.
Check out this gem:
We love the D70s’ feel and design as much as we did the D70’s, and for those [...]
