Dean(ish)

Today is a sad day for four main reasons.

1. Most importantly - A journalist was arrested for asking a politician from Giuliani’s camp a tough question. This is a disgrace and a clear violation of the American Constitution. The journalist did nothing against the law - sure, he was overpersistent, but that’s not against the law - yet he now faces felony charges. All that the politician had to do was reply, “I’m not going to answer your question” - but, instead, he released the hounds. I’m not typically one to get all that worked up about politics but that, my internet friends, is a sign of fascism, not democracy.
2. Portland’s free wi-fi sucks.
3. Bob Barker is retiring from The Price is Right. His last show was taped today, and will air next Friday (June 15th).
4. Orb isn’t featured in the Webware 100 awards. At least Netvibes and Pandora are on there.

I previously wrote about the heart of our bean - today, I reveal the face of our bean. Kinda scary, right?

Would make for a cool Halloween mask…

Not only do we have pictures, but we also have a gender - it’s a girl. Not only is it a girl, but she’s already starting to take after her old man - she has humongous feet. I mean, gigantic. Enormous. Seriously, the doctor even agreed with me - they’re massive.

Toothpaste for Dinner is my favorite web comic. This is one of the many reasons why:

Does this look slightly familiar?

Kristian said that I sent this to him a long time ago, but I don’t remember - and even if I did, it’s still damn funny.

As returning visitors will have noticed, I’ve changed the Deanish theme. This time, I’ve created my own theme from (basically) scratch. This is my very first theme and, though it took a long, long time to produce it, I think it turned out really well. It’s pretty basic, but it features built-in support for many popular WordPress plugins, which I think it pretty cool. I’ll be tweaking it to “perfection” (as if there is such a thing) over the next few weeks, at which point I’ll release it to the public. Please feel free to leave any questions, suggestions, and/or criticisms in the comments.

Special thanks to Small Potato for writing his excellent WordPress theme tutorial, without which my new theme wouldn’t be possible. Also, thanks to my dearest Christina, who is currently packing her things and leaving me because I spend way too much time on the computer. I love you, bebs.
