No, it’s not a new Don Ho song. It’s lots of itsy-bitsy icons that you can use on your web sites. I’ve previously considered using icons like this to indicate whether a link is internal to a site, or leads to an external site. Or if it opens in a new window. Here are some sites with icons for just those types of functions, and a whole lot more. Webgraphics micro icons Michael Angeles’ mini … Continue reading
Once upon a time, there was a television show in the UK called “The Magic Roundabout“…. [via Brent]
Microsoft and Unisys recently launched a new joint advertising campaign — under the slogan “We have the way out” — to promote the Unisys ES7000 Enterprise Server, which can run a data center version of Windows 2000. The server and operating system combination is being promoted as an alternative to Unix-based server products. On Monday, it was revealed that a Web site set up to promote the advertising campaign was running the FreeBSD operating system, … Continue reading
If you’re doing any kind of graphical design, be it for the web, print, or whatever, iStockPhoto.com is a great resource. For a long time now, I had been meaning to upload some pictures. I finally got around to it about a week ago, and my pictures finally made it through the review queue. If you’re interested, you can see some of my photos. There’s nothing spectacular there, though I am fond of the Sunset … Continue reading
Unbelievable…. Words fail me. New happenings in The Car Tag Saga. Any suggestions out there for a new custom car tag? I kind of doubt they’ll let me get “ALSUCKS”.

A couple of weeks ago, we had some fairly cool weather. Well, what passes for cool here in South Alabama, anyhow. We had lows in the 20s (Farenheit, mind you…that’s around -5 for you Celcius-minded folks), and highs in the 40s (around +7C). We were all scraping ice from our windshields in the morning, and wearing heavy coats to work. Today it’s supposed to reach a high of 83F (28C). That’s March in South Alabama.
I’ve updated the code for this site. There aren’t really any new features, as most of the changes are “under the hood” bug fixes. Most notably, if you enter the site via the archives, the links for adding comments are now fixed. If you came here recently from Brent’s site and found that you had problems, I apologize.
When Farrell Eaves dropped his digital camera in to a New Mexico pond, he thought that surely it must be ruined. But he fished it out and spent a few days drying it out, even tying the camera to the windshield wiper of his car as he drove down the highway. Surprisingly, he found that the camera still worked. But with a new vision of reality…. The images now produced are surrealistic, filled with vibrant … Continue reading
In Scotland, there has been some long-standing animosity between the Campbell and MacDonald clans, dating back to the Glencoe Massacre in 1692. Having marched alongside some MacDonalds at the Alabama Highland Games a few months ago, I kind of figured that after 300 years, this was more-or-less water under the bridge. Apparently not. A Campbell has been chosen as the head of a visitors center in Glencoe, and some of the MacDonald’s aren’t too happy … Continue reading
