On the subject of my recent how-to on hiding CSS from IE 6, Andy Clark has gone a few steps further and is serving the same universal CSS file to IE 6 from all his sites via Google Code. I’ll be implementing this post haste. Thanks Mr. Clark!

Remember web developer folks, people generally upgrade their computers when they no longer work. Browsers are no different.
Kristyn read the following excerpt to me in this morning’s Daily Democrat about a new state of the art electric car charging station in town:
Six of the ultra-modern Tesla Roadsters were brought to the charging station by Tesla Motors representatives from Menlo Park. The sleek, low-slung sports cars are capable of traveling 250 miles on a single electric charge. The cars themselves can go from 0-60 miles an hour in 4 seconds.
There is no other car I have been more excited to see in person. While I would never spend $101,500 on an automobile, there certainly are many people who would. And those people who have purchased them have provided the research and development capitol for the auto maker to produce the Tesla Model S. A sedan that starts just under $50,000.
It can only be a matter of time that a $25,000 Tesla auto is available to the masses. A failing GM will have a much harder time lobbing against the electric car this time.
Loren Brichter, creator of Tweetie for Mac OS X and the iPhone on Adobe AIR in an interview with Macworld:
And AIR apps are like modern day Java applets... sure, they run on every platform. But they also suck on every platform.
I have been dying for a native, elegant, multi account Twitter client for Mac OS X for months. It seems that the Adobe AIR runtime was invented for making Twitter clients. Tweetie is the best, and I couldn't be happier that Loren Brichter feels the same way I do about Java and Adobe runtimes.
The inner struggle within me to not purchase this instrument right now is so great, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Game Informer outsells Time, TV Guide, Sports Illustrated, Cosmo, Playboy and O in the US. This doesn't actually surprise me very much, but I'm always happy when the popularity of gaming makes the news in some way.
Spiderman + giant robots + ninjas + a sweet 70’s soundtrack = my speechless ass quivering in ecstasy. I cannot wait to share this with my kids.

The Dead Milkmen have decided to reunite for some shows. My brother in law brought to my attention that it has been 21 years since Beelzabubba was released, which was the last record of theirs that I bought. I was in Jr. High then.
Will they actually kill the keypad altogether? I had better stock up before it’s too late. I never have been comfortable using the numbers on the typing half of the keyboard.
