    Lincoln Memorial

    Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should…

    HOWTO: set up Gmail to us iPhone for Blogspot

    My iPhone Blog: iPhone + Blogger = Visual Twitter Okay, I do something like this already using Flickr as my go-between, but I have a little-used Blogger blog called Razzberry Vinaigrette that is mostly a photo blog. To use this method, I’d have to use a different Gmail account than my current one, as that’s set up with a different IMAP server (our own at Chez Gique). But I’m interested in how blogging via iPhone exclusively might work with a Blogger account. Again, this is because of the anti-Internets thingy during my weekdays…oopsie.

    Pizza At the Beginning and End of All Things

    This morning when I got to work, I had a notice that one of the hotels where I’ve got a group booked was going to be in the office with treats. After dealing with some morning stuff (why can’t people plan in advance?) I wandered in to the board room where they were set up. MMmmm! Breakfast pizza! That’s nice and fattening and full of calories and sodium! (and it was delicious too). This evening, after futzing around meal-wise, David and I decided to forage in the cupboards and fridge. I had a vague idea I’d heat up some soup. “Oh,…

    The Once and Future Linear

    Right, as ***Dave noted, ecto has split into separate Mac and Windows entities, and he and I are following the path of Windows… and an upgrade to a later version was called for. I hope this solves the problemo with the extra spaces being added to the DIVs that rock my drop-shadowed world. So as a test post, this is pretty boring. Let’s see some pictures then.   This is the plaque from the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge. I forgot to add it to yesterday’s post. All of my HTML tags are there, after following the instructions to uninstall ecto and…

    Aaaaaargh ecto and drop shadows

    Okay, I need to figure out why ecto messed up on the CSS drop shadows. And I’m working on a revamp of the new template, too. I’d use the native WP entry but it’s wonky on age uploads…something that requires me to clear cache multiple times or restart Firefox for the slick, Flash based interface to work. When it works it’s great. Working on custom banners background color and coordinated fonts and colors. More later.

    The East Coast Trip, Part I

    I’ve been saying for more than a week now that I’d post about the big trip to the East Coast we made, and it’s reached the point where if I don’t make a start, of any length, it’ll never get done. I’ve downloaded photos but haven’t yet had a chance to upload them to Flickr… until now. I’ve made a start at last. And can I just say, “I Heart Maine?” It’s a beautiful state. And it’s a beautiful state of mind. We flew into Boston after work on a Friday a couple of weeks ago, and overnighted at an anonymous Holiday…

    Mad Priest Solves Martian Riddle

    Mad Priest scooped NASA with this image from the Martian polar cap; clear evidence of why the Martians died out. At least they took their Mars bars with them. More images here. Via Of course, I could be wrong…: <b>ocicbw… scoops nasa</b>
