Another Cool Geek Tool

In doing my usual blog browsing over lunch I found another cool tool out there thanks to web graphics. Xyle scope is a pretty nifty tool for examining and understanding how Style Sheets fit together on blogs. It allows you to view a site and its associated style sheets and understand what styles apply to what elements. You simply point it at a site and it displays the site on the left side and the styles on the right side. It gives you a bunch of different views into the whole style sheet as well as, when in selection mode, understand what styles are being used to display a given element. MAN I could have used this a few weekends ago when I was dorking around with my styles…

Wallace and Grommit Fire

Now this is just sad:

Fire destroys ‘Wallace and Gromit’ warehouse

BRISTOL, England — The company behind the new “Wallace and Gromit” film said Monday its “entire history” has been destroyed in a fire at a warehouse containing props and sets.

Volunteer

One of the things I’ve done from time to time is volunteer for various organizations.. Anywhere from Gay Speaker’s bureau to the american red cross to tutoring in elementary schools. It is the kind of thing that is SO HARD to find time for but, in my experience, is worth it every single time. But the only work I’ve done has been the kind that was a handful of hours in a day and then I went back to my real life. Thats why i’m so damn impressed reading MJ’s blog lately… Go check it out.. She’s got some great images and stories from her time helping after the hurricane. DAMN.. 🙂 😉

The West Wing

I just found this page on the IMDB site (MAN I love that site for so many reasons)… This quote, this quote and this quote are just a few examples of why I love that show so much.. Largely because I can’t even fathom people with such integrity and moral center actually existing in our current administration.

The Political Spectrum

One off the blogs I read on a semi-regular basis is the blog of a gay republican (just cuz I don’t really get it and i’m still waiting for him to make a salient argument… but thats a fight for another day). In browsing this morning I found that he’d posted his results for one of those internet tests akin to my Buffy one below.. Only this one rated you on a political scale.. I couldn’t resist taking it and the result was actually a little surprising… I actually considered myself a little more economically conservative than I came out. At any rate – my result sure did explain why I have such a hard time reading this guy’s blog without screaming.

Read Below for my results 😉
