Tiny letters
Somehow, everyone seemed to vision enhanced but me. That’s the only explanation.
How else can I look at “NO LEFT TURN 7AM-7PM” and not see the “except for you, douchebag in front of Sean”?

Pligg Template Constants (for my reference)
From the admin section of a Pligg installation (under “Modify Language”), a list of the constants used in templates, and their English defaults.
Yes, I know this matters to few of my regular readers, but given how totally unable *I* was to find a list such as this, maybe the internet will like it.
Below the cut (if the cut works). Thank me later.

Post 500: Looking back
The ID number on the post is higher, but if you go count — and if you do, you’ve got serious trust issues — you’ll see that is in fact the 500th post on the blog. A milestone worth celebrating, and a cause for reflection (a popular activity these days, if I’m in front of my PC long enough to make a post).
Trends I missed:
- Walking on the sidewalk becoming passé.
- Double-parking becoming cool.
- Songs that have associated dances, like the Macarena.
- Next-gen consoles. At least, back the first time “next-gen console” was coined.
Trends I started:
- The Great Job Purge of Late 2007 (OK, maybe I was second).
- Shakespeare at Loyola.
- Marriage (Julie helped).
Since starting this blog nearly three years ago:
- Everyone in the family has had three birthdays.
- I’ve lost two grandparents.
- I bought a new van.
- Sara started classes to help her overcome her disorder… and we began to understand that “disorder” isn’t the right way to approach things, necessarily.
- I lost my job. And got a new, shinier one.
- I kinda had a honeymoon.
- Nature took her fury out on my shed.
- Emma got her ears pierced.
There’s probably more, but that’s a decent Greatest Hits for you.
Happy 500th, world.
