This weekend we took a road trip to Indianapolis to see my dad, and a couple of accessibility issues came up along the way.


Accessibility, Disability, Restrooms and Ketchup

The one where AJ cut her hair again and my emotions immediately following my discovery of her sudden self-imposed baldness.

A little more about using Things and grocery lists, now with updated scheduling and recurring “tasks”

A few random ideas that came to me this week while I wasn’t able to finish an entire post.


Friends, Suckers, Diapers, & Regrets

Getting to the heart of why we crave the attention of CSS galleries and the alternative to praise-seeking.


Vanity, Pride and “CSS” Galleries

Nor is it a statement of agreement. Just say “me too” or “you betcha” and save Amen for God’s ears.


Amen is not a question

Another comparison of Wordpress and Textpattern, this time updated for 2008, two years after the first comparison.


Wordpress vs. Textpattern 2008

My personality, or so they say. Actually, it’s quite accurate.

Bringing back the playlist, these are some of the songs I’ve been enjoying so far in 2008

How do you know that? I just know. Did you see it [...]

TXP has a built in article image feature where you put the ID number of the image into a field in your post and it places the image wherever you specify. Now, Wordpress doesn’t have this built in, but it’s not too difficult [...]

I read something this morning that really struck me. It’s not revolutionary, but it sure hits home. In an article from Radiant Magazine, a new mother writes:
