I do this thing where if I'm reading an article I highlight each sentence with my cursor. I think this just helps differentiate the current line I'm reading visually, to counteract my dyslexic mind. If I don't do it I'll get lost. To my knowledge I'…

Exactly Zin. I couldn't agree more. I'm an abuser of tabs. A tab HOARDER. I use them to keep track of everything I want to do, be, read, know, have, and explore. Which means they just keep piling up. If I close one without reading it then I feel li…

I love a pint of Lompoc's C-Note during lunch because it's tasty and makes the rest of the work day FLY BY.

Since Gmail can't sort by size, the best way I've found to look for large files to delete is create a custom search using has:attachment or filename, combined with a date filter, something like: has:attachment before:2009/01/01 or filename:(mov O…

For those of you on the fence:

Any specifics on property taxes going down? Yes, I realize that bonds expiring would theoretically make property taxes lower but due to increasing tax valuations and new bonds does this actually happen? Despite your use of exclamations, every chart …

Awesome, thanks. And I do appreciate u and Freddy chiming in on the bond issue. I'm taking your advice to heart even tho I can seem (and am) an obstinate cuss. FYI My preliminary research on multnomah property taxes hasn't yet found any cases of it…

@freddy; You might be talking about the state level, where I'm sure it happens too... but it's pretty clear that city officials regularly punt on important financial decisions (libraries, parks, schools) because it's politically safer to put them on…

@zin; By "we" you mean city governments via levies on property taxes? Because yeah I concede your entire argument but it seems awkward to push this stuff downhill from feds, to state, to local governments. So my question is more about is this the ri…

The W3C schools stuff on HTML, CSS and Javascript is a great way to get started. Here's the HTML one: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp As you learn more about HTML/CSS/JS start enabling "Developer Mode" on Chrome and "Javascript Console" …

Someone at lunch who works on websites not people (so take it with a heap of salt) said he is a diabetic and something about how the normal cortisone injection wasn't an option with him, so another reason to cut him some slack.

I think his MCL is sprained not torn. Also he played terribly before he left the game. Also he lost to the Packers, which for Bears fans is the biggest deal in the world. At least he doesn't play in Philly.

I love this user-contributed Yahoo article on Jay Cutler. Not that I agree with him, I just love a good rant... http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ycn-7687004

> the false equivalencies come into it. YES!! Stewart is constantly holding up Maddow and Schultz next to Limbaugh and Beck and tarring them with the same brush when there just is no comparison. To pretend there is just so you can come off as a m…

What a goof! Has he started barking yet? It took a couple weeks before Hoover started protecting his propertah.
-
Does he bark at sounds outside or when people come to the door? If not, it might be that he doesn't yet consider it "his territory". But he will soon. It took Hoover a week to realize that he had a new house and then he started barking at the doorbe…

What a looker! Stuff I wish I did with my dog while he was young and impressionable: On a regular basis give him a fake vet checkup, grab something weird and stick it in his ear, open his mouth (brush his teeth!), pick at his feet... generally get …

Layout and graphics and organization look really great. Kudos to the web gnomes. I was getting sporadic "Error establishing database connection" but seems to be gone now.
