I’ve updated my blog to the latest stable release of b2evolution. Rather than try to carry over my old customized skin, I decided to try something new. After customizing the December skin, I still wasn’t satisfied with how each white post looked in the dark theme.
I asked some of my co-workers for suggestions and one idea was to round the borders for each post. I thought it sounded like a good idea, so I went about figuring out how to do it without images or javascript.
After some searching I found this post. The css doesn’t work with IE, but it works great in Firefox and Chrome so I’m happy with it. Especially since it’s such an insignificant aspect of the blog. IE users won’t be missing much, but others will see a design that’s a little more pleasant.
Here’s the css I used:
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;

Sometimes, I wish I wouldn’t have read the article so that I could continue to imagine the events that took place.

Craig Horner and Bridget Regan have been tapped to star in Sam Raimi’s syndicated series “Wizard’s First Rule,” which launches in the fall.
The scripted series, an hourlong weekly from Disney-ABC Domestic Television and ABC Studios, is based on Terry Goodkind’s book “Wizard’s First Rule” and epic fantasy series “The Sword of Truth.”
Horner will star as woodsman Richard Cypher, who transforms into a magical leader and joins with a mysterious woman named Kahlan (Regan) to stop a bloodthirsty, sinister tyrant.
Horner, an Australia native, recently co-starred on the Australian series “Blue Water High.” Regan recently co-starred in the Broadway comedy “Is He Dead?”
“Wizard’s” has been cleared in 95% of the country for its fall launch. Production on the 22 episodes begins this month in New Zealand.
Raimi is executive producing with Robert Tapert, Joshua Donen, Ned Nalle and John Shiban.

Goodbye 'Link Blast', Hello Tumblr
Link: http://theanimation.tumblr.com/
One of the purposes of this blog is to preserve parts of myself. While the links that interest me throughout the week do lend to the picture of who I am at this time, I cannot control the content at the other end of the links. Five years from now, most of them will probably be dead. This would render any link post practically useless.
The solution I’ve arrived at is to create a Tumblr account. If you want to see what webs I have been surfing, you can go there to see them.
I will also be using my Tumblr account to replace my Twitter page. So, it will be a place for me to release my random snippets of thought as well.
This move to Tumblr practically reduces the five sections of my blog (Life, Links, Reviews, Thoughts, and Works) down to four. Past link posts won’t be deleted, but there won’t be any new ones in the future.
