This weekend was ReptileFest at the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science. We took the little man and he had a blast. He touched a snake, threw sand around, and chased a stinkin’ huge turtle across the room. Gallery after the jump.
This is the seventh iteration of PoS51, and the third, I believe, to bear the title Power of Suggestion.
The last design was clunky, hacked-up, and disorganized, not to mention a bit overdesigned. I’ve learned a lot over the last year, since starting at DTS, and I’ve been thinking for a while that it was time to clean up my design (mainly from a code-perspective). I haven’t really had a chance to do that, but I was customizing whiteboard to get ready for some upcoming freelance work, and I decided it was time. I wanted a sort of no frills look this time around, so I ditched the color and the images (there are four CSS images in this design).
I used @font-face kits from Font Squirrel, Gentium Basic for the body text and League Gothic for the headings. A little jQuery on the attachment pages in the gallery, and that’s it. What I’ve ended up with is something less distracting and more readable than the last. Let me know if you agree.

This was little man’s first time to go trick-or-treat, and baby girl’s first Halloween. Cuteness after the jump.

My Delicious Feed- On Resenting Anne Jackson January 12, 2010Little did my reader know that as she wrote “compare and contrast” essays about me in her head, I was writing “compare and contrast” essays about Anne Jackson in my head. Little did she know that published authors are just as insecure and jealous and frightened as unpublished authors, sometimes even more so. Little did she know that my relative success in th […]
- Advanced Imaging Reveals a Computer 1,500 Years Ahead of Its Time - Technology - io9 January 8, 2010In 1900, some divers found the wreck of a Roman vessel off the Greek island of Antikythera. Among the other treasures remanded to the Greek government was an unassuming corroded lump. Some time later, the lump fell apart, revealing a damaged machine of unknown purpose, with some large gears and many smaller cogs, plus a few engraved words in Greek. Early stu […]
- Don't play with that, or you'll go blind - Steamboats Are Ruining Everything January 8, 2010James Cameron's 3-D movie Avatar gave me a four-hour headache. Probably the headache was caused by a combination of the 3-D effect, a seat near the front and at the far edge of the theater, the way the 3-D glasses skewed my plain old glasses beneath, and the dark in which I biked home afterward, my bike light having been stolen while I was in the theate […]
- Why there is no iTunes for movies. - By Farhad Manjoo - Slate Magazine December 28, 2009So why won't anyone in Hollywood build my service? The reason isn't stupidity. When I called people in the industry this week, I found that many in the movie business understand that online distribution is the future of media. But everything in Hollywood is governed by a byzantine set of contractual relationships between many different kinds of com […]
