More W3C
Another W3C blog uses WordPress, this time from “Richard Ishida, W3C Team, and Internationalization expert.” Hat tip: Karl Dubost.
The Village
Saw M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village earlier tonight. It was very interesting, I’d recommend it. Bryce Dallas Howard was gorgeous.
Nero
The Nero site has a decent XHTML/CSS layout and is just a few hairs away from validation.

Everything OK
Thanks to everyone that wrote in. I am okay, I just haven’t had anything to post in a day or so. I guess when people get used to a deluge of content every day if that stops people get worried. Sarah got back from her two week tour of China a few days ago so I’ve been seeing her a lot.
Humble Googling
It’s always humbling when you’re searching for an answer to something on Google and you come across a page from your own site in Google. It’s even worse when that page has the answer. I want Technorati or Feedster to show three types of hits: those from my own blog, those from other blogs, and those from Google.

Password Assistance
Am I the only one getting 5-10 “Google Password Assistance” emails a day?
Email Stats
It looks like the email stats thing was adding over half a second to my front page load time. So it’s temporarily on hiatus while I tweak my queries so it won’t be so slow. Have about seven thousand ham and twelve thousand spam in the database, so that may have been slowing it down.
bistr-o-Image Browser Plugin
Image browser plugin, oldie but a goodie. Don’t remember if I linked this already.
Gnome 2.8
Some screenshots of Gnome 2.8. Looks nice. Like any true geek, I’m more interested in the nice shadows on everything than the actual improvements. Are the shadows stock? 😉 I keep going back and forth on my Linux desktop. I’ll use Gnome for a while because it seems cleaner and then I’ll switch to KDE because I seem to get more done and I like things like being able to press Win + M to minimize all the windows. Hat tip: Wes.
A Walk
I’ve had a lot of things on my mind lately so earlier tonight I went to the park to clear my thoughts the best way I know how, thinking through everything. It’s one of my favorite places in Houston but I haven’t been in a while because the weather has been pretty warm and I’ve been pretty busy. It’s night and a the wind rustles pleasantly as I stroll to my favorite thinking spot. Someone is there and unsure of what to do I keep walking with no real destination in mind. I come to a spot that just a short while ago was a dry bed of concrete and a mess of construction, but it has become a long reflecting pool with comfortable benches and a relaxing fountain at the end. This new part of the park is a tribute to the Washington Monument. It’s perfect. When life pushes you beyond where you’re comfortable that’s often where you’ll find the most rewarding experience.
