Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
We interrupt our regular programming for a science experiment.
What happens when you subject a poor innocent marshmallow to vacuum pressure? Will it expand? Or will it shrink? Curious minds want to know.
Imagine my surprise, when I pointed my PDA browser (Pocket Internet Explorer aka PIE, Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240×320)) to www.cnet.com and my browser crashed! Ouch. There seems to be a bug in my PIE!

I find that my life looks different depending on what track I choose. The music sets the tone for the scene… Continue reading Living Inside a Movie
I’ve finally found some podcasts that I want to listen to. The recent Web Essential 05 Conference down in Sydney, Australia has been so kind as to create podcasts for the sessions. Yum! While I would have preferred to actually be in Australia, these podcasts did let me virtually attend.
Am I technofickle? Do I fall in love too easily with new toys? Or am I just all thumbs? Ask my boss or my husband…and you will get a resounding “YES”! But really, what do they know?
