Matthew Rogan’s First Birthday
Reply
Getting back into the swing of things after “taking a few weeks off” to put together a new computer and a new website. Only 3 weeks of photos to catch up on…
Thunderbird for Email
Marla and I have been using Thunderbird for our e-mail since spam became such a huge problem a few months ago. We suddenly started getting 6-8 spam mails per day after getting none for such a very long time. Thunderbird’s groovy junk-mail-protection is pretty good. (Nowhere near as good as SpamBayes for Outlook, but that’s a different story.)
Ooops
As you may be able to see I kind of jacked up the design of the site. Been working on a redesign and hit SAVE when I meant to hit CANCEL. Such is life!
Emma Speaks
It just blows me away how quickly Emma is picking up words and concepts these days. I came home from our home owners’ board meeting (I’m the secretary and treasurer, apparently) and Emma couldn’t wait to tell me about her trip to the grocery store.
Gurus vs. Bloggers – Fight!
I’m in the midst of redesigning this site and have been using lots of tips (not to mention design ideas) from many of the bloggers that appear in the first round of Gurus vs. Bloggers at Design by Fire.
Page 23 Meme
Here’s something fun:
- Grab the book nearest to you.
- Open to page 23.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal (or in this thread’s comments) along with these instructions.
Photomosaic Software
Spotted this neato entry in a blog and then stumbled upon this list of photomosaic software. Cool, cool, stuff. I’ll have to give it a whirl.
Pudding is Yummy
Ain’t pudding yummy? Emma sure thinks so. She had a blast sampling a batch Marla made the other night. Thankfully none was spilled on the nice dress her Aunt Jessica gave her.
Emma at Play
Emma loves to play. (Who doesn’t?) It’s amazing to me the number of ways she can entertain herself with in just one day. The gallery below is a great example. From being a ballerina, to watering plants outside, to having a tea party, to playing under a sheet in just under 8 hours. Whew!
Definition Lists – Who Knew?
Wow. Who knew there was such a thing as definition lists? I certainly should have, but didn’t. Shame on me!
In other news, I’m giving TopStyle Pro a whirl. It’s written by Nick Bradbury, the author of the original Homesite (pre-Allaire, pre-Macromedia). It feels almost like home!
