i came up with a new design for the site. i like it, but i'm going to give it a while before i switch to it. if your browser can't handle a css2-driven design, it will probably look goofy. here's what it looks like in mozilla (and with the search layer popped up). this is just a static mock-up, the search form isn't hooked up.

they put fertilizer over the 'lawn' in front of my apartment building (right outside my window). it smells like i've moved to farm country. moo.

i'm the #1 site linking to www.tivo.com, according to google. crazy.

civilization iii comes out on october 30th. there's interview with jeff briggs and sid meier on zdnet. the screenshots look pretty, but i'm a little surprised they went back to the squares-with-bumpy things for mountains instead of using something like smac's three-dimensional surfaces. (i still love smac, but there's so many little things about the gameplay and interface i wish i could tweak. i wish firaxis would follow the lead of id and open-source their old games.)

todo item: patch wmx to highlight the tab of the current window differently. (or maybe shade all of them differently depending on stacking order. overlapping ones are hard to distinguish.) and fix the window cycling stuff.
