Broke down and responded to my umpteenth invite for Twitter. You can find me at http://twitter.com/placenamehere

Also trying out one of many MySpace clones called Virb which offers the ability to customize CSS and some HTML markup inside the profile pages and is generally much nicer then other offerings. Its still in beta though and I’m out of invites, but if you happen to hang out there already you can catch me at, you guessed it, http://www.virb.com/placenamehere.

Just getting around to some much needed maintenance on some of the projects around here and had to chase down something that was plaguing Place Name Where? for a few weeks now. Though I looked at it when it first came up I just didn’t see the cause of the “Node no longer exists in…” messages that PHP5’s SimpleXML was throwing.

Yay! I really dug the free 10 pack of Flickr MiniCards from Moo.com and had to have more. Now my order of 100 is on their way.

Interrupting the dearth of posts to bring you this important announcement… 24 Ways is back this year with a round of daily web development related articles. So far we’ve got a few great pieces, with a mix of immediately useful information and some things to look forward to.

• Day 5 brings Accessible Dynamic Links by Mike Davies covers a few different ways to enhance the links around your site.
• Rachel Andrew contributed Day 2 with the simple but powerful Faster Development with CSS Constants
• And as a look into what is coming up in the future (or present for Safari users) of CSS Andy Budd wrote Rounded Corner Boxes the CSS3 Way

And don’t overlook the comments, which can be as interesting as the pieces themselves.

Lately it seems I’ve been carrying some bad luck with me when it comes to interesting photographic subjects around town.

Case 1: The Delicious Chicken Dinners sign.

Now gone after the store got a new awning.

Case 2: The old swing set at a nearby park.

Now removed along with some other (newer?) climbing things.
