Project 365 #9 - Cornered Rabbit

Marcus was walking Mr. T around the parking lot at the Bed, Bath & Beyond on Chambers/Parker while I went inside to get a heated mattress pad for Homestead North. When I came out, I heard the most horrible dog screeching and knew it was Mr. T. I got over to where they were and they had a rabbit cornered in a drainage thing. It's hard to tell, but that's a bunny behind all those leaves.

I Learned Something New Today

When I upgraded to Expression Engine 2 awhile back, several of my plugins broke. One of them was the music player I had to embed mp3s into my blog posts. It was cool, except that it used flash. When I was deleting paid posts, I realized that broken player made their posts error out. I was browsing the EE forums looking for a solution when I saw a mention about using HTML 5. I asked Marcus about it and he showed me what I needed to do to make that work. I got bummed out when I realized how out of touch I've become with web coding (I've basically stopped coding since I started my current job 8 years ago). Marcus suggested a book to read, so I'm itching to learn more. I used to be really good at this stuff, I really want to be again.
