Microsoft did something right today!

I opened up Internet Explorer 6 this morning to work on some debugging for an online community website and this page showed up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx

For those of you who don't know - Internet Explorer (IE) has been the bane of web developers' existence since it's inception.  It does not comply with the internet web W3C standards and therefore does not render web pages like web-standards compliant browsers like Firefox or Safari.  Why not just forget about it, you ask?  Well, turns out that about 70% of internet usage today STILL use IE - if you have parents or grandparents over 40, do them a favor and download Firefox for them - you'll be helping us all out. 

BUT the point is the Microsoft at least tried to get me to download IE version 8 which is light years more compliant than it's predecessors IE6 and IE7.  And to THAT I applaud them.  I'm still going to use Firefox.

Screenshot - mm Dreamweaver and Outlook.  I'm lucky if I get in some Illustrator and who knows... maybe a little Microsoft Word?!? Woot! ha

More Tilt-Shift Photography (getting better)

Here's my third try - a little better picture - I think it's looking good.  All I need to do now is take my OWN photo.

New buttons design for Go ED. Connect

I seem to have worked ALL morning and part of the afternoon on getting these little buttons perfect.  I think I finally got it going on.

My try at miniature model building

I wanted to try some small scale modeling.  Being that the Hogue Hall at Greenville College had just been torn down, I thought I might honor it by building the demolition of it. Lots of work went into this little guy. I hope you like it.
