• Problems with the Equal Height Columns method – In search of the One True Layout
  This was the first time I’ve heard of this issue. It bit us on two areas of the work site. It’s on both ie and ff and it’s a damn shame.

• BREITBART.COM – GM, threatened by Toyota, vows to ‘fight for every sale’
  Well then, improve GM’s quality. I want to buy American, but get sick of having to replace little things on my American car, while my foreign car hasn’t had anything but oil and tires, etc in 10 years.

I’m sitting back, really wanting to do some sort of project for me and me alone. Just something fairly low-cost, nothing like the million I helped to spend at work. So I’m trying to get a loan for a new system AND working on building a MythTV box.

I originally wanted to use my X-Box, but it’s too much hassle. Instead, I’m looking at using a headless laptop and some sort of USB video system connected to my 400gb USB drive. Dammit, I want something geeky and DIY…..

I’m also working on ideas for this site and my others. Somehow, I’m gonna combine three domains into one. I have a plan to use ssi’s and php calls. I have it down on my whiteboard, but have no idea of the technique. I don’t want something stock from the SMARTY templates, just something I used my Georgian mind to solve.

• Bribing Bloggers – Joel on Software
  I thought it was a brilliant idea, poorly executed. Ads aren’t bad, it’s just making the process transparent enough to not look like a spammer or a shill.

• Blake Ross on Firefox » Tip: Trust is hard to gain, easy to lose.
  But Blake, this is a free-market system. If you go into a Target or Wal-Mart do you express the same distaste about the lack of Sears’ ads, (hey we notice you’re using BLAH, try WalCola), etc? Google’s top priority isn’t users….they’re now a public com
