Baby Names inspired by text messaging, Web 2.0 I guess I should have named my son Tai’lr, Tailur, Tylr or some variation thereof. I’m down with individuality and whatnot, but people are going to have problems 1) pronouncing these names; and 2) spelling them.

Unveiled: Augusta Gardens
Architectural plans for a new downtown baseball stadium were revealed today. This would be BIG for downtown Augusta. The proposed stadium looks pretty feasible, but parking is definitely going to be an issue. -
Firefox 3 Beta 4 Released.
Firefox 3 Beta 4 Released. Still not fit for general public consumption. Probably worth downloading just to make sure things you’ve built and/or building don’t break in the latest version, though.

gArchiver
gArchiver: What happened? Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt. The lesson to be learned from this debacle? Don’t install third-party apps with reckless abandon. Sure, they might look great on the surface, but they could put your private data at risk without you even realizing it.

Cleanup
I’m getting closer to being finished with this iteration of the site. The cool thing is that I am using this theme to power our company blog, so all of the changes I make here benefit it as well.
- I cleaned up the comments area of each page. Comments should be considerably more usable.
- The search field up top and on the Archives / Search page use some Safari-specific code which add additional functionality. (If you’re using Safari for Mac or PC, your recent searches are saved.)
- A number of backend/admin things were fixed which will make maintaining the site easier.
A few things are still lingering out there…
- Search results page(s) need stylization.
- Create Portfolio section.
- Enhance Theme section.

Fire the Workaholics
37Signals: Fire the workaholics. Been there, done that. I work a lot, but not as much as I used to. I get burned out pretty quickly when I work 60+ hr weeks. Burnout leads to sloppiness. Do I think workaholics should be fired? No. But I do think they need to re-evaluate why they’re spending as much time working as they do.

Living Up to Our Committment
Toyota: Living Up to Our Committment. My next vehicle may very well be a Toyota just because of this. It’s nice to see a company support their product above and beyond what might be expected of them.
