  As a follow up to the “About the New Design](/about-the-new-design post I’m going to share the source behind some aspects to my site. This is nothing you [...]

  Since “I was early](/early-reboot in launching “my (css) reboot](http://www.cssreboot.com/reboot/show/1029, I decided to take the rest of the time to write a little about how I put the whole thing together. I know that’s the first thing [...]

  About the New Design

• Wow, OMG, no way, man, oh boy, holy cow, you’re kidding, really?, sheesh, absolutely, totally, speechless. These are all the words that crossed my mind when “Nathan Smith](http://sonspring.com emailed me this afternoon to invite me to be a part of “Godbit](http://godbit.com. Ultimately, I just told him I’d be honored and gracefully accepted, but on the [...]

  Natalie Joins Godbit

• I ran across “this site](http://www.gojobby.com/ today “via Greg](http://www.airbagindustries.com/archives/009137.php and though this has nothing to do with what his post was about (nothing to say there), I do have one comment about the use of “default blue” for links. I can always tell when I’m working on my code and I get my first (very rough) [...]

  Default Blue

• I hear a lot of anti-popular talk around the blogosphere and it all seems to be for the sake of being anti-popular. There are people “complaining about the people behind Vitamin](http://www.robertnyman.com/2006/04/27/false-gods/#comment-4421 not including lesser-known people. I realize there are a lot of other capable people, but these are the ones who got together to do [...]

• I’ve been “podcasted](http://www.web20show.com/articles/2006/04/26/web-2-0-show-episode-17-jeff-veen again! The Web 2.0 show guys contacted me a couple of weeks ago following my response on “color schemes](/color-scheme-exercise and asked me to chat with them about it. We ended up talking about a lot of other things for an hour and a half but they did an awesome job of splicing [...]

• h5(subtitle). Interpreting stats more accurately

  Okay, I’ve got more than 50 responses to “the poll](/poll-1000-visitors now, which is great, so thank you. I’m looking forward to getting much more, and I realize 50 isn’t a whole lot in terms of complete accuracy, but it’s enough for now to tell you why this was important.

  1000 Visitors?

• !(nb)/files/images/110_flash_cards.jpg)

  So AJ decided she didn’t want to go to school today so I figured a day off with Mom wouldn’t hurt. She’s not even dressed yet and she ran and got the flash cards. We were going through them one by one when about 10 cards in she started putting the word “party” before each [...]

  Flash Card Party

• This week I’m using a photo of AJ lying in the grass on Easter Sunday at the family picnic. She loves to run around making people laugh and getting into the middle of everwhere fun, but she also knows when it’s time to take a break and count blades of grass.

  The first thing I did [...]

  Color Scheme: Spring Girl

• I’ve been following talk about my nutshell diagram and though most is positive there are those funny ones out there that take it all very seriously and I get a kick out of it, so I thought I’d share “this one](http://www.oneplayer.co.uk/06/04/20/would-hide-a-stain-on-your-wall/index.php. And since the guy doesn’t have comments on his blog, this is my reply.

  Compromising the Future

• !(border)/images/archives/146.png! Well, I missed March’s playlist because I was “busy with my redesign](/early-reboot but I’ve been busy playing new tunes this month and I think I found some good ones. There’s a big mix here, so if you’re new to my blog, don’t be afraid. I like a lot of different music, some dance, some [...]
