Ignorance
Why is ignorance self-reinforcing?
I’d been meaning to upload this picture for some time. It was taken near St. Cloud, MN during our trip there during the summer of 2009.

"TNT" Store
We had pulled off the freeway to get some coffee and saw this, a burned out “TNT” store. We started laughing like crazy as I’m sure many others did over the months that the building was under repair.
The store’s actual name was “Treasures N Things”.

Drupal Image Oddity
Typically when I setup a page with images I like to use a style like:
<img class="badge"
src="images/badges/npp.logo.80x15.png"
alt="Notepad++" />
Using multiple lines makes it easier to see all that is happening with the image.
Apparently this confuses Drupal in some way. Drupal would not render the placeholder for the image until all of the attributes for the <img> tag were placed on the same line.
<img class="badge" src="images/badges/npp.logo.80x15.png" alt="Notepad++" />

Interesting little event while using the Mac Book Pro today. Finder crashed.

Finder Crashed
This is extremely unusual (for me). I thought Mac’s didn’t have crashed applications? I’m not really sure what to make of this. Many other people seem to have had this issue since upgrading to Snow Leopard (which I did a week ago). But since I don’t use the applications or external devices that seem to be associated with their reports of problems, I’m lost.

We watched the Let the Right One In vampire movie tonight. This is a Swedish film. It was interesting to watch the film as we had intended to watch it with English subtitles. But we made the mistake of also having English overdub on. Watching the movie with the English overdub and the English subtitles was very odd, almost funny in fact. It was like watching three different stories at the same time. The dialog didn’t align with the text. It was as if two different translations of the Swedish script were used. The effect almost turned the movie into a comedy.

There’s nothing quite like coming home from work and having to cleanup cat puke that’s been on the carpet since early morning. He didn’t just puke in one spot or two spots. No, the little … cat … puke in at least half a dozen spots that I found. Time to bust out the carpet cleaner and hope that I found all of them.
At least the dog has the good sense to the sliding glass door where there’s vinyl flooring and puke all in one spot. Not him; he just does it where ever he is. Then he moves and does it again. Must be the smell … or the sight … or just plain being an ***hole. Probably the latter.
