Starbucks to the Rescue

It's sad when you know the regulars at Starbucks.

Tasha and I went out and took some pictures in the snow, as its still butt cold. But then to warm up, and catch up on grading, we hit Starbucks at Barns & Nobles. It's not uncommon for us to unpack Tasha's school stuff and take over a small corner of the cafe.

I had a pumpkin spice latte. Yum :)

The picture kinda sums up our fun...drinks, grading, and making fun of the community college kids there studying like it matters. There was even an education major sitting next to us. We thought about giving her a taste of what she's getting into, but she seemed too young to experience this.

Black & Tan - Not just for the bar

MMmmmm....ice cream. This was tonight's guilty pleasure. Oh, and then followed by a stout.

Yes, Ben & Jerry's made an ice cream with beer. Well, at least beer flavor. Stout ice cream with a swirl of dark chocolate. Two of my favorite things *drool*

Here's a diagram for the technical folks:

MySpace and Contribute v4.0

,,

I've never been a blogger, let alone a Myspacer, or LiveJournaler, or a, a...person who shares everyday observations, but I'm going to try.

 

First off, check out Last Fast Action's Myspace.  Augie from LFA/The Dog and Everything wanted a more elaborate, stand alone MySpace. No thanks to Tom, but thanks to the Plain White Ts along with 400 lines of CSS, I've mastered the art of MySpace manipulation. Good times.

As for Contribute v4.0, I'm currently making this post with the new blog features. It allows me to make changes with a full WYSIWYG editor, spell check, and image tools.  I'm also evaluating it for the new version to see if we should get it at Concordia. Just when I got everyone on v3.11, now I have to go around and install everyone with 4. *sigh*

But I'm off to bed now. Cool tools that Macromedia/Adobe make. Now to see if they'll stick.
