Another Cool Geek Tool

Monday, October 10th, 2005

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 [...]

The West Wing

Monday, October 3rd, 2005

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 [...]
