One of my socks gave out yesterday, giving me all the material I need to make a slick little electronics sleeve, so I decided to document the process and put it up on instructables.
but even without understanding the words, I get the gist.
…I also made cheesecake.
Quite tasty. (Should have taken a picture before I started cutting it)
…which starts with chopping 8 onions.
… my eyes burn so bad.
My alarm went off at 8:30 this morning.
*bee-da-be-boo bee-da-be-boo* (I memorized this rhythm when I was 10…)
I woke up, got out of bed, trudged across the room, hit the snooze button, and flopped back into bed.
-3 minutes later-
*bee-da-be-boo bee-da-be-boo*
Again: out of bed, across room, snooze, flop.
Repeat every 3 minutes until 9 (when I remembered I had a meeting to get to and woke up)
What confuses me though is that the entire time I was doing this get up and snooze routine… I was convinced I was conducting a sports interview.
…yeah, makes no sense to me either.
My mind is racing.
Actually, cluttered is a more accurate way to view it, but one way or another, I’m awake. I have a 9 am meeting at work, and I’m not asleep. Can I say “this is not restful” any other way?
So, instead of sleeping, I’m reading an interview on Kicksology.net with Wilson Smith III, and I just read a quote that I really like. (Well, a meta-quote… a quote of a quote)
“When I studied architecture in school one of my professors said: “We’re teaching you about architecture. We’re not necessarily making you an architect.” The great thing about that way of looking at it is that once you understand the concept of how to put a building together, you can apply that to almost anything.”
Yeah, I like that.
Considering how much I’ve been talking / thinking / ranting about flash websites lately, I figured I really should do what I talk about. That is, if I’m going to champion standards based sites, I should learn to do the shiny effects using standards based tech.
So that’s what I’m doing, currently making a css, xhtml, javascript (prototype & scriptaculous at the moment) clone of the flash site that Nina has been working on.
…thus far I’ve got the little bar of posts. But hey, I literally just picked up scriptaculous and prototype last night.
I have more at home.
It’s 1:30, I’m about 75% done sewing a project… and my needle just broke.
Time to head home and see if I have any spares.
