- Where Have the Children Gone?
-
Yesterday it was sunny, right about 30 degrees and there was 3-4” of snow on the ground. I decided to take the kids sledding and on the way to our normal hill on a whim I changed directions and drove back to the house I grew up in - the house my folks built and lived in for over 25 years. It’s funny in a sad way - the house is only about a mile and a half away from where I live now, but it’s been 16 years since I’ve been there.
The back yard has a really nice sledding hill - long with multiple drops but not so steep as to be dangerous. You just gotta stop before going in the creek…

I spent a good share of the weekend working on V4 of Boyink.com, making solid progress on the About and Portfolio sections.
The current version of Boyink.com uses Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) for layout, and one of the big selling points of designing sites in this fashion is that they are quicker to redesign, due to all the presentational logic being contained in the one central CSS file.
I’m not experiencing that time-savings.
