I was checking out the new president’s website today – very nice. Lots of Web 2.0 gradients, a table-less layout, embedded video, blog, etc.
I checked out the CSS and found out what the background image was. Right in the center of the image is a pretty cool pic with the Obama logo right in the middle:

I would like to wish all of my clients and everyone else out there a Happy Thanksgiving!
Take some time to be with family and get some rest and fellowship.
Remember that we only go around this life once.
Please enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday and take time to reflect on how far you
have come on the journey, so far (and how good God has been to you
along the way.)
Watch for opportunities to make a difference to others (who may
not have friends or family.) Opportunities abound all around you if you watch for them.
PS. I got some of this from John Alexander over at www.searchengineworkshops.com and modified it.
Here are some ways to give back this holiday season:
1. Next time you go to the grocery store, pick up some extra food for the Salvation Army or in Wilmington we have The Good Shepard Ministry
2. Volunteer to work in a local soup kitchen that feeds the homeless.
3. Be sure to give thanks to God and others who have provided for you.
4. Make amends with someone you aren’t getting along with, whether be a friend, co-worker or family member. As mentioned above, we only have one shot at life, so it’s best to spend it getting along.

I had a friend tell me about Google Gears the other day so I did some digging. I found a page about it on Google, but honestly, I’m still not 100% sure what it is still. From what I gather, it will allow you to run web applications offline? Here is a link to Google’s site – maybe if you can figure it out please leave a comment on this blog.
Shopping in Walmart today (10/9/2008) I saw they already had Christmas decorations up. I haven’t been in Walmart awhile so there is no telling how early they actually put them up, but this is ridiculous. I remember telling my wife a couple years ago that they would start putting them out earlier and earlier and now it is happening. I mean, for crying out loud, Halloween hasn’t even happened yet. Sad, so sad. I don’t mind overriding Halloween that much, but not Thanksgiving. The time we are supposed to be thankful is being overshadowed by the time of the year where we get, get, get. Get a grip Walmart.
Share on FacebookI found this site today called Backpage.com – basically it looks and operates like Craigslist.org.
