I snagged two tickets to see Depeche Mode play at the Lakewood (ugh) on September 1st, 2009.
Row G Section 101 (stage left)
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Over the last few years several of my photos have been published by others in offline products (university brochures, educational posters, etc) and online, at sites such as the Schmap Guide to Portland.
Recently, though, this takes the cake…

I don’t write technical posts very often, but I couldn’t find any info on how to truly customize the Mac OS X “Dock”. It’s the little strip of applications that resides at the bottom of the screen, similar to the Windows taskbar.
In the most recent 10.5 version of Mac OS X, Apple gave the Dock a horrendous 3D appearance. As other sites have mentioned, you can get rid of the 3D dock for a 2D version that is similar to the old dock found in 10.4 and previous versions by issuing the following command within the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock
See, for example, these two comparison photos on Flickr:
(not my own photos)
For me, that’s not good enough. It still looks out of place. What’s with the wasted space on either side? The transparent black background? And the stupid rounded corners and white border?
I wanted something that spans the entire bottom of the screen, has a custom background, no borders, and some sense of being organized.
I’ll still be posting here every now and then, but for the immediate future you can find me over at our new website:
Laura and I will be writing often about our experiences moving to the old family homestead in northeast Georgia, where we’re building our own house, living off the grid, and starting an organic farm.
This was the first time that Laura and I had ever donated volunteer time and hard-earned money to a political campaign. It was well spent. Now we’re keeping our fingers crossed for tickets to the inauguration. Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to make this happen.
