If, on the other hand, you’re some weirdo… well, that’s why I make you log in. I check the user rolls regularly and purge anyone I don’t recognize.

I knew it was probably coming, so it wasn’t a total shock. But still… I woke up this morning to this:

Ugh. It will most likely have melted by noon, I suppose. Not that that will do much to repair my severely damaged psychological state.

Even worse, I’m annoyed that the default CSS for the new WordPress gallery functionality uses float: left so when there are only two images, it doesn’t center them, but leaves a nice, perfectly-sized void where a third photo would have gone. I’ll have to fix that. Speaking of voids, my annoyance (and distraction) at snow and CSS is somewhat compensated for by the smooth “electronic breakbeat jazz” grooves of Revolution Void.

Update, 8:13 AM: Great, now it’s actually snowing more. Take that, global warming! (Yes, please check out that site, if for no other reason than to prove that just because your URL is “globalwarming.org” doesn’t mean you’re a benevolent non-profit trying to save the world.)

I’ve posted 3 new photo galleries under the Offspring link in the nav bar above.

The first is various photos from late July, including our hike through the lower portion of Minnehaha Park to where the creek empties into the Mississippi. The other two are from today and a visit from my birth mom, her husband and daughter. DeNeal and Mick are professional photographers, and their camera work today inspired Fletcher to take up the camera as well. I was actually quite impressed with some of the photos he captured. Not bad for a 4-year-old!

On Saturday we took the kids to Hyland Lake Park Reserve in Bloomington. New photos are now up! Click the Offspring link up in the nav bar to check them out!
