Griffin & Sabine
Feb 3rd
My friend Steve (on the left in the photo) stopped by this afternoon to visit me at dialysis. He arrived to read a book to us called Griffin & Sabine. Now, Steve really likes children’s books, and seeing him walk in with a large book in his hands had me thinking I was in for a long story. The story in this book however, was quite enjoyable. Griffin & Sabine is the story of an extraordinary correspondence between two people. In the book you’re reading their correspondence on post cards, and in the letters they write each other.
I don’t want to give away any of the story, but I was hooked right off the bat. It’s an extremely entertaining story, and sprawls across three books.
I can’t wait for my next visit from Steve, to hear the rest of this interesting story.
The artwork in this book is very impressive, and as much fun for the eyes, as the story is for the brain.
Enjoy
Sorry this post wasn’t very articulate … but my blood pressure is getting a bit low, and my brain a bit foggy. Not to mention I have two visitors right now and don’t want to be rude.
Stay healthy
New Design Coming
Jan 12th
It’s on the way folks. I’ve been "cranking" on a new design (not really…) which should be live sometime next week. I’m having a lot of problems getting things to look precisely the way I want them to, and am at this point unwilling to out-source the project to India.
Anyway, I’m playing with some colors and new design techniques, and will hopefully have something live soon.
Again, sorry I haven’t been so chatty here recently, but I’ve been spending my time in the dialysis chair trying to get my chops up to speed concerning standards-compliant CSS.
Check out CSS Zen Garden to see what cool types of things CSS can do without touching the HTML.
On the Horizon
Dec 30th
Man, so much to say and so little time!
I’m furiously working on a new site design (because I was bored today), and now have no time to write about the events of the last week or so.
I’ve been doing some reading and have lots to talk about regarding new discoveries in my world (tech related), ID/Evolution debate, stem cells and kidney transplants, and tons more.
Right now though, I need to get this new design up and running, so that everyone can enjoy their experience here a bit more.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you all a very happy New Year.
My Apologies – Comments Field Fixed
Dec 20th
My sincerest apologies to everyone.
I just realized today that some of you have been leaving comments, and they’ve been waiting for my "approval" to be published.
It was a setting that I must have changed at some point (though I don’t remember doing this) to allow for my "approval" of comments before they’re published. Previously anyone could comment, and it would publish immediately. Anyway, I never meant to remove that capability, and so I have published the comments that were left the last couple of weeks, and have changed the settings so that your comments will now publish immediately.
I know we’ve picked up a few new readers in the last couple of weeks, and I’d like everyone to be able to comment and discuss here if they’d like, as well as over at the forums.
Again, my apologies for those of you who left comments in the last couple of weeks that weren’t published, and weren’t responded to. I have fixed the problem, and have responded to your comments.
Please contact me if you run into problems like this again, so it can be fixed expeditiously.
And as always, thanks for stopping by, and for commenting. It’s very nice to hear from people who are stopping by.
Everything’s Fine
Dec 19th
But we’re being taken off early tonight due to a broken water pipe (or something along those lines).
I only bring this up because I was planning on writing a bit about things on my mind the last bit of treatment, but now that bit won’t come.
I’ll try to make it up on Wednesday though, and perhaps by then my thoughts will be coherent.
