Current mood: sore
Yay, tomorrow is the beginning of July and half of this horrible year is over.

Dumb me strikes again. I dropped a box on my forehead and now have a lump the size of an egg. Owwwwww. I can't wait until it turns black and blue—it'll be real purty then. I had lain down with an ice pack on it for about an hour and when I woke up, my left eye's vision was so blurry I couldn't see. I don't know if that was a result of the bump, from the severe allergies I've had lately or from the fact I've been crying almost nonstop for a week. (Too personal, still can't/don't want to get into it here.)

I watched part of Steve Job's WWDC Keynote yesterday. There is now an 30" Apple Cinema Display. Of course, with the $3,299 price tag, the special video card it needs ($599), and the fact it probably needs a G5 to run well (at least $1999), I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon. Still, a girl can dream.

A neat color blending tool designed by Eric Meyers.

Tutorial for doing email links in Flash.

I love those little buttons for RSS and the like that I've seen on many sites. I figured I'd make some when I have time, but I guess I don't have to. Here is a site that has a button maker and here is a site that wants me to Steal These Buttons. There is almost a button for everything. Neat, huh?

Edit 7/1/04: It appears that the script that runs the thing is on a server that exceeded its bandwidth at the end of last month, so if you tried it and it was broken, try it again.

I've got to check the rest of this cute little flash game out later. I played just for a little bit. Your mission: You're a drunk guy that missed his curfew and you have to get to bed without waking up your girlfriend. Too funny. I would love to see the raw flash file to see how that thing was coded!

Speaking of games, I've been addicted to the stuff over at Popcap Games lately. I'm addicted to Bookworm and Atomica. I've even got Dad playing there. It's addicting. Marcus told me that some guy called the help desk where he works because he couldn't get to the site. (It's on the job's list of banned URLs). Moron.
