The other night my wife decided she wanted to go roller-skating, so as the good husband I am, I sucked up my pride, dished out the money and strapped on the boots of terror. But of course we never do anything that is considered humiliating alone; so we went with some friends, the Smores and [...]

Do you remember Tommy the Green Ranger on the kids show the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? I remember my little brother kicking and punching at the screen nearly everyday while watching these guys (and girl) jump around in what seemed to be a low budget live action show from Japan.

Recently I’ve found a new tool to ease the pain of the web development community and make IE6 just a touch more bearable, Firebug Lite. Firebug is by far one of the most useful tools I’ve found for web page design [...]
