Raising kids is tough work no matter who you are or where you live. For example, this couple began fighting over which gang their baby should join when he grows up!

That’s quality news right there!
I have grass in my backyard. Yes, you read right. This terribly uninteresting post is about the grass in my backyard. Unlike the grass in my front yard, I completely manage and maintain the grass in my backyard. I water it, patch it and mow it.
Well, my dogs pee all over it, resulting in dead spots. So I watched with great interest when one of those tacky infomercials came on talking about a product called PatchPerfect. And I was sold! I bought it… It’ll be here in 4 to 6 weeks.
I’ll let you know how it goes… but if you care to try it yourself in the meantime, here it is: http://www.patchperfect.com
I spent $112 on books the other day, each covering a specific topic of interest to me. I have my new ColdFusion 8 book and I’m definitely disappointed in the new format and price. My new CSS book is helpful in catching me up on all the new design methods that I simply haven’t kept up with over the past several years. Lastly, my new jQuery book is an added help over the wealth of knowledge I’ve already found on the topic online.
I’m just shocked that it all cost so much considering how much of this can be found online at no cost!
I’m curious to know what everyone considers to be typical or standard fonts used in Web 2.0 web designs. Of course, the “Web 2.0″ term didn’t originally apply to design concepts, but seems to have been adopted as such by most of the people whose blogs I read.
At any rate, Verdana and Arial were my plain, boring fonts of choice. Default fonts in styles in applications like WordPress go beyond that as you can plainly see. But compatibility is important… the user browsing the site needs to have those fonts installed on their computer to see it the way you intend, so that limits the pool of choices.
If you can point me to some good examples of use of different fonts in Web 2.0 style designs, that would be cool.
So I’ve begun a search for the best, simplest project management software and I’m failing miserably. I’m worried that my search is what’s actually flawed as opposed to a lack of options. I’m looking for a web based tool that will allow me to share screenshots of website design milestones with our marketing team. Basically, when we complete a design or layout of a website page or an application form, I want to be able to post a screenshot on a private extranet and allow the marketing director or his staff to provide comments.
So far, I’ve found a lot of stuff available for project management and tracking milestones and tasks, gantt charts and other things I don’t necessarily care about. I’m trying to avoid writing something since time constraints are an issue.
My search phrases have been “web based project management”, “creative project management tool”, “web design project management”, “web design collaboration” and so on… Of course, I’m open to suggestions!
