What a terrible choice of title for the upcoming James Bond film: “The Quantum of Solace”
It’s going to be tough to write a theme song for that bad boy.
Here’s my submission, to be sung by Shirley Bassey:
He shoots for the heart, his aim always flawless
With a license to kill, to be used on the lawless
It’s the price that they pay, as he sends them away…
To The Quantum of Solaaaaaaaaaaaaace
Lauren (4 years old) is a really good swimmer, but I was surprised that she would actually jump off the diving board!
It seems to happen at least once a year: due to a busy schedule, or rainy days, I don’t get a chance to cut my lawn for several weeks. By the time I get to it, the grass is so long that it chokes my mulching mower, and the usually diverting chore becomes a real job: I listen for the engine to bog down, then tilt up the mower’s base to prevent it from dying.
This year I decided to try a new technique: first I cut a series of stripes approximately every five feet:
Then I mowed the the lawn in the opposite direction:
My theory was that during the second pass of mowing, whenever the mower rolled over an area that had already been cut, it would have “room to breathe” and mulch up the grass, so the mower would not get bogged down.
i didn’t really think this would make a difference, but I was pleasantly surprised that it worked!
I just got name-checked by Fake Steve Jobs:

Cool, the folks over at Movable Type (blogging software) are using my JavaScript tabs script. They even came up with a nice enhancement.
I had a great time this weekend seeing Kingsized perform at their twice-yearly Elvis-memorial concert. It was like a combination of The Blues Brothers and Elvis, with go-go dancers thrown in for good measure. I’m definitely planning on going to more of these in the future.
I saw this comment in the article 14 Tab-Based Interface Techniques:
I made some research a couple of months ago in search for the perfect tabbed interface. All but Barelyfitz’ Tabber have the same flaw : their markup is semantic non-sense, ie there’s a UL list, then the tabs, which makes absolutely no sense when printed. On the contrary, Tabber starts from correct and sensible markup, and then generates a clean tabbed interface.
