Crumb by crumb in this big black forest
Maybe in you I’ll believe
Maybe I’ll believe in you”
My good friend Molly Holzshlag has yet another book out: “Spring into HTML and CSS”. It’s her nth, I lost count. Looks like the Zen of CSS Design left her a few hours left, so Molly found time for another of her productions. I’m sure it’s great reading as always.
The Author’s words:
“…the book is prime for folks just coming into (X)HTML and CSS for the first time. It’s not written for advanced folks, rather, regular Jane’s n’ Joe’s working in da coal mines; accountants; doctors publishing their research; students writing their papers; folks working in educational environments.
It’s for professionals whose primary job is not necessarily Web development yet who want to learn HTML and CSS in a standards-aware way”

I would so much love to be there. Oh why don’t I have the money to do what I want? Asrrhhhh!!!!!!
“Following on from the momentum of a terrific conference in February,
we are busy preparing our first European event, TEDGLOBAL, as many of
you know, will take place this summer in Oxford, UK, July 12-15. It is
shaping up to be an über-TED experience, one for remarkable people to
enjoy while engaging in an inspiring conversation about our world’s
future.”
Wise up
It’s not.. what you thought…
When you first… began it.
You got… what you want…
Now you can hardly stand it, though,
By now you know, it’s not going to stop…
It’s not going to stop…
It’s not going to stop,
Till you wise up.
You’re sure… there’s a cure…
And you have finally found it.
You think… one drink…
Will shrink you to… your underground
And living down, but it’s not going to stop…
It’s not going to stop…
It’s not going to stop,
Till you wise up.
Prepare a list for what you need,
Before you sign away the deed,
‘Cause it’s not going to stop…
It’s not going to stop…
It’s not going to stop,
Till you wise up.
No, it’s not going to stop,
Till you wise up.
No, it’s not going to stop,
So just give up.
(Aimee Mann, Magnolia Soundtrack)
