Semantics and Design (Malarkey)

Posted by Tim April 28th, 2006

Malarkey has posted an interesting article about…well, semantics and design…over on his “Stuff and Nonesense” blog. He has some interesting thoughts about when to place images in HTML as opposed to CSS, and the impact of design on the content you are presenting. It’s a good read and, as usual, the visitor comments are just as interesting.

Queer Egg Roll

Posted by Tim April 19th, 2006

J and R rolling eggsJ and I camped out all night Friday with a bunch of people organized by FamilyPride.org to get tickets for the White House egg roll. It was a lovely night and only rained a few minutes Saturday morning. Next year, we’ll be better prepared with tent and sleeping bags and bring the kids.

The egg roll itself was pretty fun. There were lots of performers on different stages, and the kids had a great time. As you see from the photo, young R and old J participated in the roll. P would have none of it and I hung out with her to cheer her little brother on.

The event was marred only by some really horrible protesters outside the gate telling our kids that they would get sick being out on such a rainy day without god protecting them. I’m pretty sure that P felt all confidence that the Goddess had her back all the way, and R doesn’t listen to anything anyone else says anyway.

We overheard some White House staff grumbling as we passed that this was a family event and that…well, whatever they said it was stupid. What would you expect from this White House?

Chris Cook’s Drawings

Posted by Tim April 13th, 2006

A Trip to the CityMy dear friend (and former bandmate), Chris Cook, is drawing some really amazing things. I love the way they feel! There’s a sort of Southwest meets Northwest magical realism that, to me, seems totally Chris. The vibrancy and warmth in the drawings has the same sort of feeling that I used to get sitting in his kitchen, drinking Lipton tea and rolling Top tobacco after a meal of red beans and rice. Thanks Chris!
