This nifty style for a quote or side-bar type box that I have a particular use in mind, so you may be seeing more of these.

I've been surfing for the last couple of hours and I came across some really cool sites. I opened an account at del.icio.us, where you can keep a list of all your favourite sites. One site in particular that I loved was Mandarin Design. It's a great CSS site, with lots of design ideas, tutorials and examples. This drop-shadow textbox I've included in my stylesheet and will use on my site.

The amount of sites on the web to get help about any is astounding. I enter a query about my problems and wham - millions of sites to wade through (not that I get past the first few pages), and lots of favourites to search through. The volume of information is staggering. I'm reading an Arthur C. Clarke novel one of the characters says the earth was destroyed from the sheer weight of the volume of information the world contained. One way to look at it, but, does it weigh? Books and paper and cds and dvds and disks and drives, I guess it weighs.

This is my night out when I'm at home. I cruise the blogs to see what's happening in the world. I was just reading about a guy on Boing Boing that has his computer in a fish tank filled with oil and it works. What's more incredible is that it's been that way for a year! There's even heaps of photos for the skeptical.

No wonder Boing Boing won the awards for best blog, there's certainly a mix of entertaining entries. There's a map that shows the layout of Neverland. Wacko must have quite a few issues, continually living the childhood he missed out on. I think what's going on in court now is probably coming from the same source. In his head he's a 12-year-old. Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, who lived in Neverland. It's sad. I think the only thing the guy is guilty of is having enough money to indulge his fantasies, and quite possibly innocent of all these charges.

When you see the playground, it makes you wonder about the costs involved. In my opinion all those negative testimonials are people who'd love to see a little bit of the green flowing their way; looking at a foolish waste of money when half the rest of the world is starving. Something is definately out of whack here, and he's affectionately known as Wacko. How appropriate.

Not really travel, but for someone who sits in front of the computer for 12 out of every 24 hours (possibly more than that!), surfing the net takes me to unknown destinations.

This is a real sign located on the Mexican/American border. Blew me out, so I had to share it with you.
