On the ‘W’ ketchup FAQ page you’ll see the ingredients of the Ketchup, which includes High Fructose Corn Syrup followed by just plain Corn Syrup. If I eat that my hand will fall off in an allergic reaction [I’m highly allergic to corn].
At least Kerry’s wife’s company (Heinz) sells an organic ketchup. Of course it’s outrageously expensive, too. I’ve got to help fund their Humvee. I wish Kerry had an environmental policy that didn’t include owning one of those, a suburban and a personal jet.
The Make-shift “worship” lyric generator cracks me up. This is how I feel about many of the ‘songs’ that are sung today.
If only I was a teenager again, then I could do this. I think my brother could have done close to this since he could eat a Denny’s Ice Cream Sunday in 90 seconds while I took over two minutes (usually due to an ‘ice cream headache’ AKA ‘Freezer Burn’).

“The Building of Basecamp” Review. A good list of things that 37Signals did while building Basecamp.
The The W3C Markup Validation Service makes writing good markup easier because once you think you’re done you can validate and make sure you’ve crossed your eyes and dotted your teas. I’m in the process of converting WorldClient into standards compliant code (except in LookOut which is an absolute pipedream due to the hacks, IE 5.5+ only code and large amount of duct-tape and bailing wire used to make it ‘work’).
However, the conversion process started a wee slow but has sped up as I’ve discovered the usual reasons why things aren’t validated. Man did I write some bad code before I learned about web standards. I also didn’t have a good grasp on document types before this either, so this is a good education. I had no idea that & was a requirement in URL’s for HTML 4.0. All of the supposed 4.0 markup I had done previously was full of regular "&X=Y" types of URL‘s instead of the correct way to code.
In WorldClient a username and password is required to get into the pages so the best way I’ve found to get things validated is to login with Opera
and open up the ‘info’ bar and copy the path to the cache file into Firefox (because Opera barfs for no reason when I open up the validator in another page) on the other monitor and have the validator validate an uploaded file.
Thanks you W3C!
Solar panels on soldiers will keep them safer, lighter and hopefully more environmentally friendly. Actually, this is brilliant, maybe I can get a solar panel suit and work outside to save energy. Or the flip side of this is that skin cancer prevention groups will freak out at the extra exposure required for the soldiers to recharge their stuff… we’ll see.
Go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9.1/ and get the latest update. If you’re not using FireFox, you’re not using the best browser on Windows (although if you’re using Opera you’ve got a close second).
If you’re like me you’re a 20 something, white, anglo-saxon, protestant man with dirty blond hair married to an attractive gal with a 22 month old daughter and living in Denver. OK, so you may not be that much like me, but if you’re also like me you are not a color genius. I wear blue jeans and a white shirt most days. If I’m not wearing a white shirt I’m wearing a blue shirt.
However, this application ‘Color Schemer Studio‘ rocks my web design world. I can generate nice color schemes, and generate CSS files that I can edit with TopStyle. This is a simple looking interface, but it has a really nice, neat, clean, intuitive interface (can’t use enough descriptives with this color coordination application) so using it is easy.
I bought a copy after using the 15 day trial for 10 minutes. I didn’t need to look longer than that to know that I’ll use the cost of this up, plus some in no time while working on WorldClient and any other projects that come my way.
