If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Rio MP3 player, it’s that most people who bought one when they were cool have since replaced them with iPods. Since everyone has moved on to bigger, better, more attractive technology, it might be time to invest in one of those Rio devices… I’ve seen them on ebay for around $50, which just about fits into our budget. So while the iPod is probably the best portable digital music player being sold right now, the price puts it out of reach for us. Perhaps sometime in the next few years we’ll look into getting a used 5 gig iPod, but this week we’ll focus on placing a bid on a used Rio 500…

I dare say we might be under attack. With the unseasonably warm weather in place, I took a stroll outside, only to discover all sorts of creeping weirdness, not just bees, or wasps, or hornets, or whatever they are, but all variety of jumping and flying and crawling bugs. The outside wall of the building seemed to be covered with at least two dozen cricket-like beings.

Run people, run and hide. I’d suggest running to the basement, but the ground bees are probably already there… Aiiieeee!

I hate tables used for layout so much I think I’m gonna kill somebody. I mean, this is a nightmare! Nightmare! At least with the damn font tags I can regex them out pretty easily, but these damn nested tables…

Now, more than ever: The Web Standards Project, MACCAWS, A List Apart, css-discuss, webdesign-l, etc, etc, etc…

I beg of you, name the freakin’ thing Atom so we can get on with it!

I mean really… come on!

Unless you live in California, you can’t vote in the recall election. If there is one. I think they have to vote on that. (And besides, Asa isn’t running.)

And if you think voting for the next President of the United States will have some effect on things, well, ok, I guess you can believe that…

But right here, in our midst, is a way for you to voice your opinion, and have it heard! Yes people, it’s time for NameFinalVote!

RSS enclosures in AmphetaDesk? Sure, why not… It doesn’t actually do an automagical download when you sleep, but I don’t really need that feature anyway. What it does do is display the enclosure link along with the description, allowing you to get the enclosure easily. About 15 minutes of early morning hacking produces a new version of the minigr skin for AmphetaDesk. (See screenshot)
