Things that make you go HOLY SHIT!
A person in the Atlanta Flickr Group posted this. Normally around here I’m dodging ladders in the interstate, not marble rocks.
CSS Help
I’m punting on a CSS problem. You may have noticed that if you see an image on this blog, on the front page, it has a black border, but no padding. However, if you click through to the post itself, suddenly the image has padding. A nice neat, 4 pixel whitespace with a black border. …
Favorite Photo of the Week
