OK Go

By now, you've probably seen the OK Go video of them dancing on treadmills (it's in the extended if you haven't). It's a catchy tune. The band is running a YouTube contast to submit your own OK Go Dance. I guess this is the rage now? NBC had a YouTube contest for The Office, as well. Isn't it amazing how quickly YouTube became THE video site?

CSS Mastery

I've been reading this book, CSS Mastery by Andy Budd, for the last few days. It was recommended to me by a couple of people and now I'm recommending it to you.

Most of what I know about CSS is self-taught. I learned a little bit more in school, but not much. This book explains very well concepts such as child selectors, quirks mode, ems, etc. that I "kind of" grasped but didn't really understand.

Ow! My Feet!

Yesterday I went with Marcus to scout out a trailhead to the bike path that runs along C-470 so that he can start training for his ride to Kansas. The bike trails here in Colorado suck, btw. You'd think a state with such an outdoor lifestyle would make it easier for people to bike. HA!

He found a possible place to start down in Parker at the Challenger Regional Park & Recreation Center. Very nice facility. Anyway, I didn't have socks on because I had thrown them all in the wash and thought we were just going down there to find where it was. We started walking around a bit to try and find the bike path itself. We found it and started following it. Next we know, we've gone a mile. My shoes started rubbing blisters on the arches of both of my feet. Argh! I couldn't get comfortable trying to sleep last night because apparently, I rest one leg in the arch of my other foot when I sleep.

Does this end my stupidity? NO! I decide that if I wrap them up good, I can go ahead and try to bike part of it today. Well, the bandages slipped and I reaggravated both blisters. I rode about two miles before I figured I'd better turn back. Oh, well. I got some good exercise in this weekend though.

I really need a padded bike seat.
