It is alive, but not available to the public just yet. I’ve created a second “blog-style” page which I will work on this weekend to make purdy and then launch it (updating links, etc.) to make it the new books page.

Books are near and dear to my heart, so they deserve the royal treatment on my site, methinks. The title of that blog will be, “A Ball of Light in One’s Hand”, taken from an Ezra Pound quotation:

Properly, we should read for power.
Man reading should be man intensely alive.
The book should be a ball of light in one’s hand.
— Ezra Pound

I have the O’Reilly Pocket Reference for CSS here, as well as my arsenal of other web design books so I can make something attractive and functional. It’s always the way, right - form vs. function?

Anyway. Today was a relatively pleasant day - despite the fact that I forgot to set my alarm last night, slept until 8:30 and had to drive into work (not bad - missed rush hour traffic and managed somehow to get to work on time) and drive home (bad - rush hour lasts a lot longer on the tail end of the day and it was crap.)

However, tomorrow is already Thursday and the week will sort of flow by very quickly now. Not that it’s going badly or anything, but only because I have things to look forward to. There’s homework and reading, of course, and some web design creativity brewing, but I am spending time with my friend Elizabeth this weekend as well as getting my hair cut and colored. From mousey brunette to something in the realm of red-head. Elizabeth and I are going to see “Brokeback Mountain”, which has become known as “The Gay Cowboy Movie” in all of our email correspondance: this moniker is tongue-in-cheek.

I am really really cold right now. I ate dinner around 6:45, so it’s not hunger or strange digestion. I have the heating on, too… but I guess I just need to put on some thicker socks and get into bed where it’s warm and cozy and I can read. Yeah. That’s the game plan for tonight.
