A preventative gerontologist at the University of Chicago, Roizin spins another self-obsessed self-help book for people who would rather sit down and read about how they can improve their lives, instead of thinking of ways to do it on their own.

It seems interesting to me that we can write in plain-jane Java code and instead of using Swing, we can use GTK# to write applications running on the . |

- There should be a law that states any church talented enough to perform the Brahms Requiem is also talented enough to create an effective and attractive online presence. Along this line of thinking I'd like to throw-down this axiom: W3C XHTML 1.1 and/or CSS compliance does not automatically make a website easy to read and navigate. Such is the case with the website for First Presbyterian Church of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. |

- When I started this weblog three years ago, it was a continuation of my web site that I've had since 1995. As such, it focused primarily on technology, with an occasional aside into science or art or literature. I started with a free Manila-based weblog hosted by Userland, which was removed sometime last year, probably because it hadn't been updated for so long. I regret now that I didn't copy some of the entries, but not too much because I didn't really write anything special... |
