I’ve always classified issues between browser displays as “Browser Rage” and I think it well signifies the crap that browsers spit out at no random reason. Sometimes sure, it can be user error. Often times the display engine is attempting to clarify or rather ‘guess’ at what it should ‘really do’ with your explicit.. DO THIS.. concepts.

I’m not a fan of Browser Rage, I’d rather there be some day, the ability for me to write about Browser Zen, the day that all the display engines made the same decisions and did the same thing.. but that will never happen, people wouldn’t be able to handle excitment, most designers would die from heart attacks and it would probably set us back.. but I can dream.

So that was quick, my paper should ship on Monday whichs means I should have it at the middle of the week.

Another thing that I found out this afternoon was that Matt Thomas (of Wordpress) not only went to SCAD around the same time as me… he also lived in the same apartment complex.

Pretty funny because I’m sure our paths must have crossed at one point.

Last thing… I just realized I started at CRG around the same time as my new job… 5 years ago.. how time flies, and how things have changed.

If cleaning out your bookmarks is good for one thing, with my style of social surfing where I start in one place and end up in another.. I finally remembered clicking on someone else’s icon site and clicking through to his old blog.. one thing became obvious, he hasnt written in a while.. but he has bought Doane Paper.

So I was like, crap I really wanted some of those pads a while back and forgot all about it.

I just bought 3 packs of 3, free shipping is a good thing, hehe. Hopefully I’ll have them by the end of the week to take in to the new job as my new notepad of choice. It really fits how I take notes, and really should work very well for the type of things I do on a daily basis.

I’m cleaning out bookmarks in what I call my ‘Phase 2′ Reorganization, I figure at my count I have over 3,000 bookmarks. It’s, well.. insane.

I’m trying my best to get rid of the ones that are no longer important, don’t work etc.

However, I’m getting darn sick of how a select few, namely the creative design firms continue to run window resize scripts. It’s down right annoying and I don’t like it.

After moving a couple months back and being the temporary boarding house for a couple friends coming through Boston on the weekends and to my parents on their way back and forth getting prepared for their grand adventure overseas. They’re doing great for anyone that cares, more on that some other time.

I’m finally getting used to what streets connect to what and have been driving different ways to and from Mzinga at my new job. Speaking of which Josh even pointed me to (another) Andrea’s in downtown Woburn where I snagged some pizza last night before heading home. Nothing like good pizza after a great second day to just be the cherry on top.

Today we went to Flatbread’s for lunch, which was a great time, despite the fact that I guess they forgot about me on the first trip down there only to realize, wait, where’s Matt.. I didnt know, and they came back, so meh just a funny part of the day. I’m a big fan of Flatbread’s in Portland and had mentioned last night that I had no clue they had 6 other locations, much less one like a 1/2 mile down the street.

Enough about food, I should be getting pictures on the wall finally in the next couple days, and I’m probably gonna move one of the computers into the other room and set the scanner up in there so that when I draw I can just digitize it in there. It didnt occur to me until the other day, but seems like a good setup for that computer. Then I think I’m finally gonna setup the touchscreen monitor on the kitchen table and have some geek fun with it.

Getting some of the shared server stuff moved over to the newer (month-old) virtual dedicated server is still on the goal list, I might move this blog over in due time. Faster, Better, Stronger is never a bad idea.. but only if its worth my time right now, haha.
