Hey Gud, I can't remember, are you a mac guy?

I use a Mac for work, but I don't own any. I use Linux on a custom built computer at home mostly. My work Macbook Pro is really nice but you aren't looking for laptop and I suspect it's pretty spendy.

Thanks for the comments on the website everyone. I've also played around with a theme that uses a full browser image and it's kinda nifty, but I'm uneasy about full browser images for the home page. (Warning, there is zero real content.)

Good luck Shrift!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Very nice, Gud! I'm not 100% sold on the mixture of Adobe Calson Pro and Monserrat, but it's a minor quibble.

Thanks for the tips, fellows. Scola, you have made my decision for me. I will buy a new monitor (my cheapo acer is giving me agita, despite working just fine) and will wait on buying the box.

Cheers!

Gud, I've seen those full browser images a lot lately, and they strike me as very appealing.

However, along with cosigning Tom's comment about the fonts, I'd say the one thing I like least about the third iteration is that the 'splash screen' nature of a page with very little information on it. If the preview box will be a video or slide show, forget what I just said!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I made it home no problem! The worst part was walking up the icy driveway in my totally slick travelling shoes. Saw my grandmother in her assisted living place and met her "boyfriend," which, yikes. At least they are not currently getting married?? (Not that there was any real risk of their getting married, but that was the dementia-addled plan last week....) And met the adorable baby and heard some real horror stories about her mother, but it was actually good to see my one cousin and her other kid. (Baby's mother is my cousin's 21-year-old daughter.)

Now I have to decide if I want to try to make some NYE plans or not worry about it. Right now, the sofa and my cat seems amazing, but maybe I'll regret this tomorrow? Probably not.

No problem, I'm going to change everything to Comic Sans anyhow

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Ahhhh. Realized I DID sign up for an FSA this year. But didn't save any of my receipts? I scrounged around and found about $35. But I have $120 in the FSA.

Quick buy some glasses or contacts? If you use either, I mean.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You may be able to get receipts online from your pharmacy, if you have an account.
