- Gaut, those first two pictures make sense, but something's off about that third one. That food looks like it has colour and/or flavour. Definitely not Beck.
For those of you using Firefox, this extension, AdBlock, is amazingly handy. You can block images from directories on a server, instead of just from the server as you can normally. More useful, though, is that you can remove annoying Flash ads from websites. It has a flash overlay that puts a little tag beside any Flash. Click on the tag, hit 'OK' and the flash ad is gone.
I know I beat this to death, but I thought this IE flaw was amusing. Apparently, it has trouble with certain style sheets (a W3C standard, by the way, that should be handled.) The following 11 characters seem to crash it: <STYLE>@;/* . Here's a webpage set up to look at this problem: http://www.ecqurity.com/adv/IEstyle.txt, and a test page containing the offending 11 characters. They've tested it on Windows 2000 and XP, so I'm not sure what happens on other versions of Windows or on Macs, but it's still a brutal oversight.

so... how'd everybody fare? We're fine at home, except my spinach got mutillated... but that's okay, it'll come back. The office however... Meagan's ceiling, and the hallway ceiling both drip, woo hoo! But we didn't get it nearly as bad as some of the other offices. Lots of ceiling tiles are just plain missing, and there are some drip buckets in use down here too. Hope you all are doing well. It's funny, my Dad was hoping we'd get a free roof out of the storm... priorities, priorities... what a strange person.

Just so all are aware, yes I know that the direct result of global warming is another ice age. The fucked up weather is caused by changes in the air flow of warm equatorial air with the cooler northern and southern areas. Meaning stop screwing with the way the earth works by chopping down all the damn trees. The whole greenhouse gas and trapping of heat within the earth won't kick us in the face nearly so badly as the screwy weather. Of course, lest we forget, the last few hundred years have been a little odd weatherwise through much of the world. Easiest example is that virtualy all of western north america is actually a massive desert. Unusually high rainfall over the last few hundred years has led us to believe that it is actually a far greener place than it really is. All the desertification, especially south of the border is just the climates returning to their norm. Anyway, feel free to pick at the details of what I just said. I just thought a little lesson, considering our nice freak storm was in order. Also, I guess I didn't realize the can of worms I was opening just by spouting a few little words... "I love global warming"

I could be wrong, but isn't climate change something
that's been going on for longer than the last 22 years?
