Just Here for a Little Bumping
Yes, I know I have been rather quiet here of late, but this repose has been purely cosmetic. I was hoping to get something out for the CSS Reboot, but alas, I fought the temptation to rush an unstable and unweildy design into production, as it were.
I have also spent a lot of time on the wheatblog project (looky here!), and I also designed a new “master” site for its presence on sourceforge.net. Hopefully we can fool people into believing we are serious with this whole thing—but I doubt it.
And that's it, for me. . . But, might I suggest a few mental and/or visual libations for those patrons left wanting?
D'ya like Lego? D'ya like bizarre Scots? Like short films? Those meeting these criteria should certainly visit Oblong Pictures. The films are around 20 megs a pop, and some of them are even worth it.
Much is being made about the recent announcement about Adobe acquiring Macromedia–and a lot of folks have concerns. No worries–The Daring Fireball puts a fine point on the issue, for those of us not so quick on the uptake.
And of course, as a devotee of the pompatus of Firefox, I have to highly recommend a new extension for the web developers within earshot. Its called Aardvark and it is pretty damned cool—not only for its amazing functionality, but for the cleverness of the name; it provokes, for me, a childhood memory of meeting a real aardvark, and having it sniff my hand – a truly unique sensation – sort of a cross between a. . . well, I will leave it up to your imagination. Oh by the by: if you do decide to install Aardvark, you should probably bookmark the site, as the extension is shortcut driven.
Lastly — Do me a favor and don't get your hopes up for a lot of new content. I want it to be a surprise, and nothing sucks worse than a spoiler. ;-)
Until next we speak - Godspeed, fellow trav'lers! ◊
5 Missives So Far

Wheatblog looks really good. Just one minor question: as the guy who once had a subheader for this blog "Where primary colors come to die", surely you're not going to leave the highlight colors as that garish yellow and green?

It was really just filler, but yoru point is well taken.

Just one uhver fing, Mr. Gone:
I am sitting here posting this comment from the superduper-top-secret-mkIIIsc version of hinkybox - (the database doesn't care, after all) - and I feel quite assured that, in light of your above puzzlement, you will not be disappointed.
Yes, I have been a busy bee, and my palette is as muddied as ever.
