Baseball playoffs!!
Say what you will about the baseball regular season, but now it’s time for the playoffs!!!
Given the recent success of the wild card teams, who do you think is going to win the World Series?

default styles
The exhaulted Eric Meyer has an interesting discussion about just what is affected by “default styles”.
Anyone who codes CSS has been bitten by these and how different browsers set “defaults”.
min-height workaround
Dave Shea over at MezzoBlue has come up with a messy, but interesting way to get around the problem with how different browsers handle min-height!
Genius!

Shots from the air…
Having spent some time on an airplane recently, I came across this link to some beautiful photographs taken from the sky.
It even has accompanying music.
Home sweet home…

Strange yet interesting…
Every so often we come across something that is strange, but interesting. Today’s link is one such site. This guy straps small video cameras to all kinds of animals and even plants/vegetables. I know! It just sounds strange, but go check out some of the footage here.

World’s Largest Pink Ribbon
Quite a few of us know somebody who has suffered or died of breast cancer. Read about a project that 3M is organizing and please sign up.
Exerpt from the web site:
The pink ribbon means something different for everyone. For one it might be a memory of one lost to breast cancer. For another it might be a symbol of what the future could bring. For yet another, it could mean survival. No matter what it represents to each individual, it brings hope to the thousands of people who are affected by breast cancer every year.

The Olympics
Wow! I flat out love the Olympic Games! Summer, Winter…doesn’t matter. Besides the events, there is always the stories of the athletes. Those who have overcome incredible odds and extraordinary circumstances to be competing with the best in the world.
But the games are not without their faults. Here are some of the things that are right with the Olympics and and in my opinion, wrong with the Olympics.
Right:
– Greece : such history, tradition and the fans are amazing
– Michael Phelps : simply incredible performance
– Iraq soccer : something for them to cheer about
– Women’s softball : dominant
– Paul Hamm, Courtney Patterson : although not without controversy, tremendous displays of tenacity and never quit attitude
Wrong:
– Men’s basketball : over-hyped, cry babies
– Banned substances : several infractions, disgraceful
– Men’s 100 : totally disrespectful to the sport, especially the Americans

Baseball trades
Don’t you just love the trade deadlines and the flurry of activity it brings!?!?
So, who won and who lost with these trades?
Personally I feel very sorry for the Dodgers. (Sorry Mike) They were doing so well. They maybe needed another arm, certainly didn’t need to unload LoDuca if they were serious about winning a championship. Maybe it will work out.
Thoughts?
