Anybody who follows the NBA closely should find this awesomely hilarious.

Boomshine high score
I suppose this means I should stop playing this game.
I’m gonna give you ’til the morning comes
As part of the new project I’m working on for CPS, I spent the day learning all about cascading style sheets (CSS) for HTML. To test out my newfound knowledge, I made some extensive additions to the main page of this blog. You should now see links and dynamic content from several of the web applications that I regularly use. Enjoy!
Guitar icons
How well do you know the great guitar players of rock? Planet Rock has a Guitar Icons Quiz that shows 50 guitar players and asks you to name each of them. I only got 25, but I think I did pretty well. I only missed two that I think I should have had. How well can you do?
Storm sewers
Portland, like many cities, uses the sewer system to handle excess storm water runoff. Occasionally, this leads to the sewers overflowing into the Willamette River. Since this is bad and it rains fairly often here, the City of Portland embarked on a project nick-named “The Big Pipe”. So why am I telling you this? It’s a lead-up to explain why this incredible video at PAgent’s Progress is relevant.
Flickr update
I updated my Flickr page this afternoon including a set about my compost pile (exciting stuff!). Free accounts on Flickr are only allowed to keep three sets at a time, so I’ll soon be deleting my sleep clinic set. The photos will still be there but they’ll no longer be grouped together. Go see it now before it’s gone!
Boomshine
Just as I was getting bored with the offerings at Donut Games, Ladd sent me this link.
Pie & Tram in the Sky
I’m still trying to figure out if this is an Onion-style joke or the real thing. It’s not April 1st, so…
