It’s quite annoying to design a style sheet with clean, compliant code that looks quite spiffy in Firefox, only to watch Internet Explorer break the shit out of it because IE doesn’t adhere to web standards.

Q: How many Microsoft engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: None. They just change the industry standard to darkness.

Time to slap on a buttload of IE hacks.

I went to see my grandmother in the hospital yesterday; she’s still in the ICU, recovering from the surgery, and Dad says she’s mostly been out of it until just today.

She seemed glad to see me, and immediately starting chatting up a storm. We discussed all the tubes and gadgets she was hooked up to, the comings and goings of my various cousins who had also been in to see her, and other general topics.

At one point a nurse came in to check on her, and remarked “You just had surgery on your throat, and all you want to do is talk?”

Grandma said, “I got behind. I need to catch up on my talking.”
