Fry’s
One excellent thing about Austin is that there is a Fry’s electronics right around the corner. Some of you know about Fry’s and some don’t so I will explain.
Fry’s is a store for Geeks. Imagine if you took the best part of Barnes and Nobles (the computer section) All of Best […]

Travel
Air travel loses its glamour quickly. I like the part when your actually in the air moving at 520mph but that unfortunately is a small part of the total experience. There’s the going to the airport, finding parking, going to the counter, going through security, waiting, waiting, waiting, then flying.
Still it was worth […]

doh!
They stocked my apartment with a broom, but they neglected to provide me with a dustpan.

Comments on Austin
This is from an email I sent to a friend earlier last week:
Austin is pretty nice. It’s been cloudy so far so it

finding some good Mexican.
Austin is too Texas what Ann Arbor is […]

The Saga Continues
The Saga of the battling stylesheets that is. I’ve got it pretty close now. If you click between home and Gallery you’ll notice the subtle text change. I’m trying to kill that and its coming from some unknown interaction between formatting and the default MT stylesheet.
We’ll get there. Also notice the […]
