Starbucks & a Dirty Diaper

The other day the wife and I were out with Lily when we had to stop and change her in the car. We didn’t have any issue changing her but when I realized that my cup holders were turning into dirty diaper holders, we couldn’t help but laugh. I’m pretty sure this is not what […]

Good news and bad news. The bad news is that my themes are currently NOT compatiblewith Firefox 3.6. I tested it out the other day and nothing happened. No error, no theme, no luck. The good news is I was able to find out why and fix it. I had to re-do the theme structure […]

Valleyfair is currntly running ValleyScare where they turn the park in to a giant haunted house basically.

Opera Browser Issues

For a few weeks I’ve been having strange issues with browsers on my Mac. Firefox couldn’t render Arial properly, Flock had issues rendering fonts in search results, Opera was down right unusable and Camino had issues with Gmail fonts. Safari was just fine however. I tried to Google the answer but got nothing. I thought […]

Cookie Monster Giving Up Cookies? I Doubt It.

  • 25 Sep, 2009

Growing up, Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster was all about the cookies. He was a cookie monster after all. But now a days there is a big healthy eating push and somehow, a big blue muppet has more say in what kids eat than parents. Course that could be because the parents sit the kids in […]
