I would like to be able to change the strike though character in HTML from ‘-‘ to ‘/’. I have not been able to find any way to do it and it isn’t even offered as a ‘text-decoration’ option.
Does anyone know how you go about getting W3C to consider adding that option to the HTML standards?
I got a new alarm clock that lets you plug in your iPod and will wake you to the music from your player. (if you don’t have your iPod docked then it weakly beeps at you)
The Finale from “Chorus Line” is a good way to wake up in the morning. The Dropkick Murphys The Rocky Road to Dublin also works. Loreena McKennett– not so much.
I won the Gleneagle Men’s Club Match Play Championship this week.
I also shot my best round ever – an 88. I think my handicap is going down.
before I forget…. Every rainbow has two ends…except Mobius Rainbows and Sundogs
Normally I would expect the rainbow to be after the storm, but this is Colorado
We had some weather floating around today
I read Paul Krugman’s column on our future prosperity, and then found that Avedon had also read and commented on it along with some links to other commentors. One of the best I saw was about cheap-labor conservatives.
Work cheap or starve, a motto to live by.
These cheap-labor conservatives should read the mission statement for the United States sometime. It’s right there in the first paragraph of the Constitution – after “We the People of the United States, in Order to”.
and ends “do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
About the only mission they seem to care for is to provide for the common defence, because there is money to be made there.
I hadn’t realized how insidious these trackers have become. This WSJ article discusses how cookies have grown since their Netscape days. There is also a link to a tool that tells you who has what installed on a domain site, about half way down the article.
Is there advertising on web pages? I should probably pay more attention and be less oblivious.
Genius is seeing patterns where no one has seen them before.
Insanity is seeing patterns where none exist.
Creativity is illuminating or illustrating patterns.
I was thinking about free markets. When many people talk about ‘Free ‘ markets I wonder exactly what they mean. Is it ‘Free’ as in laissez-faire? Is it ‘Free’ as in ‘no monopolies but anything else goes’? Is it ‘Free’ as in caveat empor? Or is it ‘Free’ as in open and above board – a level playing field with free access to all? Somehow I don’t think the last option fits with most uses of ‘Free Market’.
I was thinking about free markets in terms of rivers. Some people think that rivers should be free. They should flow unobstructed, where ever nature takes them. People have noticed that building communities along rivers led to many good things. Not only do they get the enhanced agriculture from the constantly refreshed alluvial plain, but they also have a handy transport highway on the river itself. The communities learn to deal with the annual floods that refresh the fields. Life is good and everyone prospers. But, once a generation the river runs wild, floods outside its expected fields, diverts its path, gouges new channels, leaves communities high and dry, threatens prosperity, induces change. All-in-all, rivers may cause more damage in one year than all the good produced since the last catastrophe.
