And You Thought My T‑Shirt Was Cool

…and you thought my t‑shirt was cool. Online pub­lish­er Blurb has announced their “slurp­er” that will grab con­tent from you blog and turn it into a very slick look­ing cof­fee table book. I real­ly love the idea of bring the online world into the phys­i­cal world, and these books look very nice.

CSS Tip

Well, the keen read­er may notice I’m play­ing around with the style of this site some. One lit­tle CSS tip that I can pass on, for those of you who care to know: dif­fer­ent browsers han­dle the error of replac­ing { with ( very dif­fer­ent­ly.

Dugg To Death

This week is sort of Media-Week here at super-struc­­ture, where I tell every­one about my per­son­al news fil­ters. Yeah, and in teh begin­ning, there was Slash­dot, and it was good.

Seeds of Joy

Seed Mag­a­zine I just fin­ished read­ing through my sec­ond issue of Seed mag­a­zine, as I was con­sid­er­ing get­ting a sub­scrip­tion.

A Scanner Brightly

I mean, why spend mon­ey on a new scan­ner when the one I have does just fine? Well, last month, when hav­ing… Con­tin­ue read­ing A Scan­ner Brightly

Find-Your-Fate Returns on DVD

As a kid, I loved B‑level sci­ence fic­tion and fan­ta­sy books. Of course, of those, none were bet­ter than choose-your-fate books (note: I had most­ly the D&D brand­ed books, myself). Well, they’re back in a DVD for­mat in Scourge of Worlds — A Dun­geons & Drag­ons Adven­ture (actu­al­ly released in 2003). I’ll have to give… Con­tin­ue read­ing Find-Your-Fate Returns on DVD
