Poking along, I close iTunes. Not more than one minute later, it relaunches itself. “Hmm,” I mumble. I close iTunes again. Again, it relaunches itself. Benjamin Franklin defined insanity as the repitition of acts without variation in expectation of different results. I am certifiable: I close her a third time; to my shock, iTunes relaunches [...]
Sliced fresh links, full of tasty goodness. General BBC reports that workers distracted by email and phone calls suffer a fall in IQ. I read a blog post years ago of a writer comparing his writing process from 5 years ago to the present. It moreso discusses how we’re so busy because we’re doing so [...]

Upon this discovery, I wondered what other list-style-types Safari does not support. I thus happened upon quirksmode.

The method to overlay the captions is alarmingly simple. Essentially, the image and caption are contained in a div, and corresponding classes are [...]
It is so stinking cold that it is all I can do to muster up the warmth to type out these simple words. Bears lost the SuperBowl. I promptly locked my keys in my car in the -10 degree bitterness. Fortunately, I was able to go into the casa of the brother for a safe [...]
