I have 2 gmail invites and I'm giving them away to the people who post the most amusing stories over at my site ( http://overcaffeinated.net ), in this entry. If you're interested, head over there and post something funny. Please do not post stories in this journal entry. Comments are enabled for whatever commentary you may want to make on this.

I woke up this morning in Ajijic, crashed on a sofa of a hotel room I barely recognized. The buzz in my head gave me a pretty accurate idea of how much I drank yesterday: about 5 metric tons (awesome wedding, Luis!). The other Luis got out of one of the rooms and grunted a hello. Pancho had woken up earlier and left for a swim.

Soo... Bloggies took place this morning. Apparently Cory Doctorow won lots of shit, is into Wackypacks and, if the IRC discussion is to be trusted, sniffs other people's Bicycle seats (but he says it's all innocent and stuff).

The online Web Design Magazine A List Apart recently published CSS Drop Shadows, an article by yours truly.

Zeldman turned out to be a pretty cool guy. Answers his email really fast and the editorial feedback is very good. This was a fun experience.

I'm now thinking about the possibility of a followup article.

It somehow feels right; sitting here at work late into the night, long after lights-off. Having the whole place to myself provides an excellent opportunity to put on the headphones and indulge in energetic ghost Orchestra direction -- which the guards on the other side of the security cameras most likely find a welcome respite from nasal exploration watch.

From my original entry at Overcaffeinated:

We made seats. If you ever rode the Greyhound up in the Tri-State Area, chances are you've sat on my workmanship. We covered the whole process, from making the metal into pipes and bending them to build frames, up to upholstering the cushioned frames.

Submitted this but it got rejected. Posted here for your enjoyment:

Anchors are sweet. But they can be troublesome. After taking a look at modulo 26's current Daily Flight, and recognizing the topic as one of my pet peeves, I was extremely pleased to see their suggestion for improving the anchor functionality. It's elegant and well thought out. However , I think the javascript that they provide could use some improvement.

The comic has been keeping me awfully busy lately, so I haven't been very active in Slashdot. Quick update for those who may have been wondering:

- I made a new friend.
- Real or imaginary?
- Imaginary

Me and some friends at work are starting to make a point of getting together to watch movies on Thursdays. Movie Thursdays is what we call them. We're so clever.

It's been quite a while now that I've had access to moderator points. Lately, though, it seems I'm getting mod points every week. I spend them, and sometimes two days later, I get them again. I find this interesting.
