Happy Easter, Hurray Spring, and so on. It’s been a interesting weekend for a holiday. Easter for me was last night, because Holy Moly chooses to do all the Easter celebrating on the Saturday night Vigil service, and skips a Sunday morning service entirely. Every parish does things “the way it’s always been done;” our way takes the view that nobody wants to go to church late one night and early the next morning if they’ve got little kids (theoretically, at least, on the “if they’ve got little kids” score). Here’s how it’s done, according to the powers that be.…

Hey, Kuri at Mediatinker.com is another member of the Redheaded Band. She had a makeover done at MAC in Japan. I wonder how their colors “suitable for redheads” stack up against the Just For Redheads ones? I had a makeover (or my colors analyzed) years ago (actually, two different times, in different towns) and the result was the same for both: I ended up with a very limited palette of colors to choose from, because my eye color and hair color are in different “seasons,” and was also told that I’d always have trouble finding foundation light enough for my…

Consider: In Berkeley, an event featuring three authors whose bestselling books at least touch on the Bush presidency (generally critically) drew 3,600 people who paid $15 a ticket. The panel featured Al Franken, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman (“The Great Unraveling”) and former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips (“American Dynasty”). Proceeds went to KPFA-FM radio and Global Exchange, an international human-rights group. Tickets sold out immediately, said Bob Baldock, the station’s public-events producer and a former bookstore owner. “I think people are hungry for information,” he said. “They want the opinions, not just from hacks that go on television all…

Perhaps I should rename this category “Mindbendingly Boring Technical Details of a Blog/MT/HTML/CSS N00b.” Honest, I’ve been on the Internet since 1994. Granted, much of that time was on AOL. And I freely admit that my technical expertise consists of my husband and the phrase “Honey? How do I…”

tag || HTMLSource ]” href=”http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/advancedcss.html”>Advanced CSS | custom stylesheet classes, ids, conditional style, the @import method and the tag || HTMLSource ] Ah, hmm. This tells me I was doing something wrong with this next CSS for Dummies trick last night. code{ font-size:14px; font-weight:normal; color:#000; background: #FFF; text-align:center; } ETA: Bugger it, this still isn’t working right. However, it’s better. I removed the border style attribute, which was messed up by MT’s insistence on adding break tags. There may still be a simple solution to getting it to display in a box. This makes day 2 or 3 that I’ve…

Just now, various search terms referencing “The O’Franken Factor” have been (by far) the most frequent in my referral logs. It’s about 65-70% when all the variations on “ofranken” are accounted for. Now I’m starting to see a few queries on other personalities on AAR: majorityreport (yay!) majorityreportradio (again with the yay) majority report irc channel (heh!) ralph nader randi rhodes (I heard this – scary, but it needed to be said – or screamed) sue ellicott All well and good. However, this one really makes me wonder (I may have missed a joke in a recent Majority Report show):…

…fox, or crazy like a bedbug? NEW YORK – Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling was taken to a Manhattan hospital early Friday after several people called police saying he was pulling on their clothes and accusing them of being FBI (news – web sites) agents, a police source told The Associated Press. Maybe the FBI is following him everywhere, and deploying agents with wires and concealed weapons. Or maybe they’re not, and he’s nuts.

blockquote { font-family: verdana, georgia, arial, serif; color: #2F4F4F; font-size:small; font-style:italic; background: #F5F5F5; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid; } This is the CSS for it – note, it’s not .blockquote but just “blockquote” in the style sheet, because I’m using an HTML tag as the name of the style element.
