Is it really random or is there a pattern here?

CSS jappler.com Standards Web Development

css, a voyage.

Oh my. Well, by blog was getting ugly with all of my leftover CSS problems, so I decided to sit down and figure this out. I have 95% of all this figured out, still some problems with Firefox and the li dots. I am not happy with the word/letter spacing, but who knows. All this […]

another day, another design.

This is officially design #4 for jappler.com. My web sites are always evolving, and I am always trying to build my template library, so here we are again. I needed a PSU blue for my site, and I finally have it. I have not used this blue since 1998, and when looking at my site…all […]

Who is Telling the Truth?

Well if you are like me, and actually care about making an informed decision on who to vote for in the upcoming presidential race, please watch the debates and then check out factcheck.org. (Not to be confused with factcheck.com which Mr. Cheney told all who watched the debate to go to and check out all […]

train the brain! (instead of driving me insane)

OK, so how many times have we all heard this: “I have so many user names and passwords, there is no way I can possibly remember all of them.” The solution (and no it is not to write them down)…remember your user names and passwords. How? Make up a user name/password scheme. How? I have […]

Grand Theft Auto III Completed

Just when I thought I would not finish GTA III, I did. It was one of those nights where “just one more time and that is it” went through my mind many times. After I saved the girl, I popped out GTA III and put in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I have to say…the […]

Dear Joe Paterno,

I had the honor of going to the Penn State v. Wisconsin game last weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. After going to to the game, experiencing the crowd, and the listening to the media…all trying to blame you, I just wanted to write to you and tell you how much of an inspiration you have been […]

loud cell phone talkers.

To the annoying girl on the 523 train that got off at Des Plaines stop after talking the entire non-express train trip…I have something for you….a F*&$)ing clue: everyone on the train does not care about the horrible day you had. As you talked about how nervous you were at work and how you started […]

Grand Theft Auto III

With Grand Theft Auto San Andreas coming out in the next month, I finally decided to sit down and finish the last few missions that I never did in Grand Theft Auto III. I do not know what it is about this game, but I find myself wanting to listen to Rise FM, and yesterday […]

the mysterious b.o.

We are all aware of something called deoderant, right? Well, as I sat down next to an older woman on the train today, I thought all was well. I was coming home early, and had a seat next to someone who did not hog the seat nor talk loudly on her cell phone. A few […]

thanks gop! (for ruining cnn.com for a week)

I am a CNN junky, but unfortunately for me, I have to cut back this week due to all the pictures of the GOP Convention. I like Laura Bush, I think she has great intensions, although I would have liked to see more of her in the last four years. I respect Giuliani, and well, […]
