Amazing Maze

With my blogroll not updating, I’ve found other amusements for myself, including some attempts at improving the layout of this site. So I’ve been looking into a lot of web design.

That said, [this](http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/menu/amazing.html#) is amazing. he has a maze that’s build entirely out of CSS, that’s Cascading Style sheets – what most people use to pick their font size and the color of their hyperlinks..

Wow.

(yes mom, I’m doing my homework).

Routine Maintenance

I hate cars.

I wonder if it’s still too late to finish carriage training Donna. (Donna is the horse that I saddle broke and started carriage training at my gma and gpa Walker’s farm. She’s still there but it’s been several years now since I’ve been on her back.)

The maintenance manual said that it was time to replace the sparkplugs on my car again. Continue reading “Routine Maintenance”

Belated Pings

[The Jargon File](http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/index.html), an online compendium of all things [hacker](http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/hacker.html), defines a [“ping”](http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/P/ping.html) as “a slang term for a small network message sent by a computer to check for the presence and alertness of another.” In this case, as a blogger, I’m using the term erroneously: The pings for the things mentioned below will only happen once they find out that I’m talking about them. Not to mention that theologians are notoriously inactive on the web, so some of these people may never get the notice.

It’s just more fun to say “ping” than “slug.”

Plus I wanted to link the Jargon File.

Five Months to Go

Our Cake Topper

That right, we only have five months until shackling day. So little to do, so much time…scratch that..reverse.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been fiddling with some links up on the top right. “About,” “Feature Rollout,” and “Wishlist” all have links to actual pages now. They’re all being updated and the “about” page is the only one that doesn’t have anything set up yet.

Hope you all have a marvelous day.

Did You Know?

Did you know that it’s not good to put alcohol on cuts, abrasions and open wounds? It causes the blood to coagulate and anaerobic bacterial infection. When the blood coagulates the white blood cells can’t get to the wound site as well. The anaerobic forms flourish because the white blood cells can’t get there fast enough and all the oxygen is removed from the wound site. Alcohol is good for surface disinfectant because it can kill gram negative bacteria by disrupting its cell wall. A better disinfectant for cuts and stuff is hydrogen peroxide because it is an oxidizing agent and can kill those anaerobic forms of bacteria by forming super oxide radicals that the bacteria can’t break down. The problem with peroxide, however, is that it does have mutagenic properties if used too much.

Can we tell that I had a microbiology test this morning?

I Laughed Out Loud

[John Rabe](http://johnrabe.blogspot.com/) has a [post](http://johnrabe.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_johnrabe_archive.html#110865918693487690) up with a er… piercing analysis of the idea that the meaning of the Constitution can change.

At least, that’s what it was yesterday. Today I think it has something to do with pink elephants. You never can tell what the same words might mean…
