so i put up a new style called �flower�, which is actually the entry i hacked together in about 20 minutes for the over at Alex King’s. i entered because i mostly wanted to get a style on the list, so people would see it and for exposure. it is also a style i had been putting together for my own site, so i just transferred it over. the picture in the background is one i took, and is viewable in the flaura photo gallery. hope ya like it!
car back today hooray! now i just gotta get a cheap wheel for it. and have it aligned. o well, it only costed $134 with tax, which is tons less than $918, so i’m happy!
o ya, and after posting about rss feeds, i realized that nobody would know how to use these, for which you need a newsreader. the one i would recommend is a piece of free software called vox lite, very easy to configure and use, comes with quick built-browser. try it out!

life
so life is going well. better than it was at least. i’m no longer selling my camera (thank heavens!) but i found the part, so things should go a little better. i shot our school’s wrestling championship against our rival school and we won, so i’m happier. plus, it’s the weekend! hooray!
google
well google has some interesting things going on over there. they put out a copycat of friendster.com called delta 300’ (made it up) and lo and behold, a flight in flight from san juan to atlanta, georgia, including real time flight statistics, map, and position. woah. and did you know what the statistics are on people that go and “google” new people they meet to find out about them. and it returns results??? weird. on the other hand, google is extremely powerful, and indexes new sites very fast. my tiny little humble site is regoogled a few times a day. awesome!
rss feeds
speaking of google, google provides an rss feed about news updates. don’t know what a rss feed is? well basically, it is a small version of a site that applications can use to get the latest news/updates/items from your favorite websites. podq live provides an rss feed, just scroll down to the bottom of the menu and find the ’meta’ item. a few other cool rss feeds:
hey everybody,
so yesterday, i was driving to school, and it had been snowing because, um, it’s colorado. anyways, i was coming down the hill, when my rear end swung around and i spun out. no big deal, i’ve done it before. i looked at my tire, and sure enough, it was off, but not by much, so i just took it to get the tires realigned, i need to do it anyways. after the mechanics have a sword-fight with brooms, they come back and tell me that 4 different parts are bent, and they have to fix them all, for $918. um, no. i took it to one of my friends who is an excellent mechanic. one part was bent, but it is only going to cost $219 from the dealer, $100 everywhere else. i’m kind of bummed out tho, i have to come up with a bunch of money really fast.
i had to sell my camera (i’m crying about this!) on ebay, please someone bid on it! better yet, do the buy-it now option! canon rebel 2000 and a bunch of other stuff too. anybody want to help out?
o well, life is still good overall. hopefully i’ll scrap together a really quick entry for alex king’s css competition tonite. i had some really awesome ideas, but as is evident, a couple of events have kept me from pursuing. also, i added some new photos to my gallery, i’m really behind on those too, as i don’t have a scanner right now. hopefully on monday things will be better.
