The Hubble Heritage Project has an amazing image gallery consisting of photographs taken from the Hubble Space Telescope. This is incredible.

Now.

My buddy "Jim" has his Edmunton Oilers weblog up-to-date again. If you're a hockey fan, or any kind of sports fan, check out how this site is run - it's an example of how REAL fans want to follow their teams.

So I'm waiting for Userland "Frontier" to recieve a database update, through it's nifty "XML-RPC"-based update feature. Problem is, it's been months since I updated this copy of Frontier, and the update is 10500K. Yikes! Frontier's status message tells me that it's receiving the data, but doesn't tell me how far it's along in the process.

And sets aside the November ruling by the Florida Supreme Court. The Florida court must now reconsider it's previous decision.

Not caring much for the excuse for main navigation I had on this site before, I've added the tabs at the top of the page. This is my first Tabbed Interface - do they work for you?

OK, now I'm blushing. A few weeks back I wrote a little tool for Radio Userland that takes a directory outline and outputs it in the format used by the Open Directory Project. Today I found DMOZDirectory linked from Radio Userland's directory, in the Community Tools section. Thanks guys!

I've been a graphic designer for years, and used Macromedia (previously Aldus) Freehand for may of those years. I used Adobe's Illustrator before and during that time, and I consistently like Freehand better. But...

I'm spending mine curled up with a B&W PowerMac G3, OSX, Apple's developer tools, and a Vermont Cookbook. Yum!

Yes, that's the kind of day I had yesterday. On my way to pick up my car from the shop, my dad and I were rear-ended in his Mazda RX7 by a mobile radiation unit truck from the very hospital I ended up at afterward. Ironic, isn't it?

I know, it's been forever since I posted here. I've been working on the house, traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, and generally trying to avoid the US election crap.
