This is for and . Also, for myself and for all of those that need it. I am certain that I should do this as often as I can, and I used to, back when I started college. Old habit to pick back up.

EDIT: Also for , , , and . If anyone else can’t donate, and wants to tag on, feel free to let me know. :)

Hypocrite

I usually give my mom a hard time about having the TV on while she does dishes. I tell her that the radio would work just as well.

Yeah, I realized that I have been compulsively turning on the television, even if I’m doing something downstairs that is entirely unrelated to the TV.

Must fix that.

The World Wide Web

What is the World Wide Web?

It’s the most commonly accessed and quickly developing section of the internet. While it has surpassed USENet, IRC, and other areas, it is nearly the youngest member, as well.

The World Wide Web is a network of “home pages” that are scripted in HTML. Each home page references more pages inside its own site, as well as pages in other sites, by using hypertext links. This made a simple, “clickable” interface that made aspects of the internet far more accessible to users.

Five characteristics of the web:

• Coded in HTML, Javascript, PERL, CSS, and other scripting languages.
• Currently focuses on multimedia content.
• Easily updatable
• Accessible to anyone with a connection.
• Despite being dependant on hard, physical machines, it has a nebulous quality to it.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have the potential to be a great wizard in the coming week. Here’s how to fulfill that promise: (1) Renounce grandiose fantasies of transforming lead into gold or frogs into soul mates. (2) Think small, be specific, get extremely pragmatic, and don’t make up stories based on inconclusive evidence. (3) Take everything that’s dreamy and hard-to-pin-down and bring it down to earth. (4) Don’t bitch about the limitations; *love* them and use them to your advantage. (5) Treat idealism as a distraction unless it can be translated into concrete acts that do some good for actual human beings.

We’re actually purposefully creating a blog in a class.

Check it out here. I hope to use this sort of thing for the comic book, for the Adam’s Name project, and for a professional personal page.

I feel a Monty Burns “excellent” coming on.
