In changing sphere, Dean’s Net fund-raising outdoes Cheney
ReachCustomersOnline.com : Weblog Entries: In changing sphere, Dean’s Net fund-raising outdoes Cheney
Normally, I stay out of anything that even hints of politics, but the idea of a president who understands and uses the Internet is exciting. It brings up the idea of political leaders who hear more than just the professional lobbyists by the big corporations.

Weekend
Had dinner wth Bill, Tanya, Bobby and Sarah Saturday night then went to see “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” Good movie.
Tanya, Bill and I went to Bookstar afterwards.
Me:This is what I need, a book about communication to help me be more assertive.
Bill:Or we could just dress you in leather and give you a whip
:evil
I dropped my Palm while juggling books and now the screen’s messed up. 
We’ll see if I can get it fixed.
I went to bed last night with a migraine. I took one of my pills but I woke up at 4am with it still hurting so I took another pill. 2 Advil, 2 Exedrin and a 3rd migraine pill later and my head still hurts.
My brain, however, is circling the moon.

My new favorite quote…
O’Reilly Network: The Thin Blurred Line [Jul. 18, 2003]
“Mac developers appreciate music, photography, and video. So-called creative pros rely on AppleScript, Perl, Apache, and slick little Cocoa apps to increase their productivity. Personally, this is why I prefer the Mac platform over others. It’s the operating system for the modern Renaissance gear head.”

All Gone
You may have noticed that the pretty link buttons from the right side of the page are gone. Those surfing with IE6 are undoubtedly glad. I had tried to use a javscript to get around IE6’s lack of support for PNG graphics but it didn’t work. So, rather than add even more to the page rendering time by adding more graphics and a longer javascript, I switched back to text links. The result is not as pretty but far more usable.

Obsessive
I grabbed some buttons to put on my main page because the Movable Type link looked lonely. Then I sortof went nuts because I found so many that I liked. So now the set of buttons at the bottom of this page’s right-hand column are randomly generated every time the page is loaded and there’s a complete list too.
It’s 3pm and I haven’t done any work yet. Not good.
But fun!

As you may have noticed, I’ve revamped the look of this site. The old one just wasn’t working for me anymore, too dull. Don’t be surprised if more changes ensue. Let me know if there’s a problem.
