Wishing Apple would hurry up and refresh the Mac Mini, the hole where the money used to be in my wallet is burning a hole in my wallet
The Dollar Dreadful Family Library
Stunning recreation of a nineteenth century newspaper, and authentic use of fonts. From a web design and standards perspective, the implementation of rollovers is a bit iffy, and large chunks of text are represented as images. But it’s sure pretty.
Best thing about the iPhone is that it helps me get around the “no laptop in the toilet” rule my partner instituted.
