Long time readers of this site know that I am a sucker for interface elements, icons, and wallpaper. The newest set of 32 bit Macintosh icons from Blue Heart Sky(That’s set number seven.) is nothing short of fantastic.
I’ve been using Alphanumeric’s Sullivan skin running on my copy of Mozilla M14 today. I’d previously been using IE 5.0 as the main browser on my Macintosh. It really bums me out that some of my favorite sites don’t work properly through the rendering engine in these new browsers. Not only that, but they break things in completely different ways. The end result is that people who build Front End interfaces for sites have to do that much more work to create the same experience for everyone coming to the site. Mozilla shows, by far in my opinion, the most promise of any of the currently available browsers. Question though, where is the windows menu, or any menu driven way to change which window is active?
Tuesdays with Morrie is an amazing book about the final year in the life of a Brandeis professor who contracted Lou Gerhig’s Disease. My mother sent me the book last week, and I read it in one sitting on Saturday sitting in a coffee shop. It’s a good read, and no matter who you are you will take something valuable away from it. I think it’s a book I will probably return to again and again over the course of my life because it breeds perspective. (Thanks so much for everything Mom.)
They say that Spring is the time of changes. Well, they don’t kid around very much I guess. I returned home from SXSW full of inspiration, and I had no idea how much I had let my life and myself get off of the track I meant for it to be on. I had somehow lost track of who I wanted to be. The wakeup call that it took to get me to realize this was the most bitter pill I have ever swallowed. My girlfriend of almost six years left me. I’m heartbroken, because I’m still very much in love with her.
My life is about to change in some major ways. My priorities are much clearer to me than they were only a few weeks ago, and I recognize that there is much work to do if I’m ever going to be the person I truly want to become. If you are reading this, ask yourself if you are an active participant in your life. Ask yourself if you are telling those around you how you feel about them. Ask yourself what you could do to make things better in your relationships. I sure wish I had been asking myself those questions a few weeks ago.
I apologize for this, but I will be taking some time off from this site for at least the next few days and maybe longer. Things have happened this week in my life that I cannot log about, but they have sapped me of my strength to express myself here. Please think positive thoughts for me.
