Hi friends, and welcome strangers.
– The first order of business today is a plea for help. Last evening, Ken and I spent several hours toiling over a new design for this here webpage. We’re almost finished, except two nagging issues have put the “launch” indefinitely on hold. That’s where you come in (insert requisite “That’s what she said!” remark). Does anyone know CSS-style for center-aligning an entire page? We tried to run Dreamweaver’s convert layers-to-tables function, but the program took all four layers and shifted them to the top right corner, and then increased all the font sizes. Also, how do I code a random image generator? If you can answer either of these questions (just shoot me an e-mail) you will be entered into the drawing that will take place at the end of a month for my free Cingular cell phone, with an entire gigabyte of music stored on its memory card. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for the rules on how to enter the contest.
– John from Old Man Neil sent me to this website in response to a post I made about Jack wanting to start a Netflix for CDs business. It seems simple enough. You make a list of CDs you have but don’t want, make a list of CDs you want, then trade with other site members. It costs $1 plus shipping. I don’t have an account so I don’t know what kinds of titles they have, but if someone has signed up, let me know if you can get albums from labels such as tUMULt, Jewelled Antler, and Mystery Sea.
– God, if I hate anything more than The Arcade Fire, Bono might be it. Thankfully, I’ve received word that his endorsement of The Red Campaign (to raise AIDS awareness) helped raise an unimpressive eighteen million dollars. Estimates are the collective marketing outlay by major corporations like Gap, Apple and Motorola cost one-hundred million dollars. That’s what happens when you elect Bono as a spokesperson. He sounds like an idiot, postures like an idiot, and then he loses you money. Bono needs to shut up, crawl in a hole somewhere, and die.
– Science! Apparently people are using this thing called “science” to answer mysterious questions about our planet. Like, for example, “Why are Earth and Mars simultaneously going through climate warming changes recently?” Some scientists seem to think maybe the cause is solar, not humans driving cars and firing hair spray willy-nilly into the atmosphere. Could it be? Who knows! I sure don’t.
– Last but not least is this article, fitting because I’m about to attend today’s Split Thy Skull Barleywine Festival at Muggs in Williamsburg. I went last year and got plastered, so I’m hoping for similar results this year. Tomorrow’s beer list is much better (Blue Point Cherry Imperial Stout! Stone Imperial Russian Stout (on tap!!)), but it’s my sister’s birthday, so, you know…
