I don’t know what it is, but sometimes I get this minimalist bug. So yesterday I decided to kill the parchment background (thanks again, Lee!) and just go with white. Helps save on the bandwidth for dial-up users as well.
Also, I added in a dotted separation line for the banner title and description at the top. I really like the way the site looks in IE 5/Mac. I just wish it looked as good in Camino and Safari. I’m soliciting feedback on this new addition, so leave a comment!
Thanks to Mark for the pointer to this photo gallery of USA Today photography Jack Gruber, who is using his PowerBook G4 12″ to send pictures to the main office.
I still want one!
Now that U.S. forces own the Iraqi capital, the Hindustan Times believes the dictator has already fled Baghdad.
Reuters notes that NPR is reporting U.S. Marines have discovered 20 BM-21 missiles loaded with sarin and mustard gas. The Marines were working, alongside members of the 101st Airborne, a mop-up operation behind Army units that had taken the Baghdad International Airport.
Let’s see: Operation Iraqi Freedom began a little over two weeks ago. Coalition forces have discovered numerous weapons caches wherein NBC suits and antitoxin vaccines were stored, over the weekend coalition forces discovered canisters which may contain chemical WMDs (still being tested), and now the Marines have come across the BM-21s.
United Nations weapons inspectors, on the other hand, were in Iraq for eight years, and discovered nothing?
“This regime change brought to you by the new United Nations: Ineffective. Inadequate. Irrelevant.”
(Thanks, Ricky!)
UPDATE: WorldNetDaily is reporting that the presence of sarin has been detected and soldiers and civilians are being decontaminated. (11:53 A.M.)
Wired reports on John Fraser’s attempt to build a new pizza-box, or “headless” Mac, using replacement parts for older systems.
Good luck getting past Apple Legal, John.
Wow.
(Mucho grande gracias to Ricky.)
