I can deal with the new disk golf course going in at Kincaid, even though it’s ripping new paths through areas that have always been thick with trees. I’ll miss the density of those areas, but I do believe the park should be shared and more constituents using the park means the park will stay protected.
But last night when Katie and I were running, we went on the Mize Loop, which is where the disk golf course is going in. There were probably twenty people using the course; that’s okay — like I said: more constituents means the park won’t go away. I could even ignore the slack-jawed, unfriendly stares of the “golfers” as they rooted around in the underbrush looking for lost disks.
But not the cigarettes. Seriously, there are going to be problems if the disk golfers start leaving cigarette butts and beer cans (common detritus on the other course I see on a regular basis, over by the lagoon). I guess we’ll have to start leaving notes at the chalet every time we find more cigarette butts by the “tees” (do they call them “tees”?). It would be a shame if a few pigs turned one of our best parks into nothing more than a trashy party dump.

This article is greabecause it shows that a LOT of CSS works the way you want, but you’ve never tried because of stupid IE6. But I think the word “conflicting” for exactly that reason. They don’t conflict. They work together like they should!

Great piece by Matthew Baldwin about why Libby’s commutation (not pardon) is and isn’t a big deal.
Okay, technically this album came out in '79, but this is a song of the '80s.
Mantid is a swell guy and good friend (be sure to read his great post about surf music) who I've never met in real life. For various reasons, I was inspired by him to write this song. A thousand thanks to another Voxer, Gord Fynes of Canadia for providing actual drumming for the song so I wasn't stuck using the loops in GarageBand. Those loops are pretty good, but there's nothing like a real drummer.

Most recent update powers down external audio ports when not in use, creating an audible “pop” when audio starts and 30 seconds after audio stops. I thought there was something screwy with my UPS.
