Looking around the ‘net the other day, I was searching for a way to make dynamic width (read: liquid) buttons using sprites. Even though I haven’t found a reasonable way yet, I did come across some theory on CSS URIs and what they’re doing to give us an alternative to sprites. Personally, I don’t mind [...]

NEGATIVE: Why can’t I see hidden files? I’ve got to find some obscure code on the ‘net, get my terminal on and kill my finder. Well, I guess it’s more fun than checking a checkbox if you’re a *nix nerd.

Well, before we even get started, I have some pretty “bad-taste” warnings to give you. Ok, done. I mean, it’s not as though you actually need one of those if you’re reading my blog. Chances are, it’s going the same way, every day. Right, so every now and then I hit the gym and see [...]
Guys that put their hand around the back of their girlfriend’s necks. Not in the violent way, but instead of putting their arm around them while walking down the street. What’s with that?
