Can you see my sidebar? I can, but I’ve heard rumblings that people are unable to find the “google friend connect” widget on this page, (it’s down and to the right.) I’m aware that for some reason [which I haven't yet figured out] Safari is showing my two column side bar as one column stacked on top of the other. I’m working on that. Currently, this site is best viewed in Firefox.
Also, my super sweet GIVEAWAY for the awesome Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklace is still running for another four days, so if you haven’t entered yet, you can still do so here.
Two of a Kind is giving away an adorable MyMonkeyMoo Stroller Pad set. You can check it out here.
And seeing as this post is providing absolutely zero entertainment value, you can read the bizarre (and disturbing and sad) story of a woman who gave birth in a port-a-potty only to leave her baby in the plastic cesspool while she stepped outside and smoked a cigarette here and here. People are fucked up. It’s like those women on TLC’s “I didn’t know I was pregnant.” I mean, c’mon ladies. HOW the HELL could you not know you were pregnant?
…Since I’m randomly rambling here – have you downloaded the new OS for your iPhone yet? It’s freakin’ awesome. Do it.
Lastly, it’s my Dad’s birthday, so Happy Birthday Pop!

You may have noticed that this site was down for about 3 hours this morning. Or that it’s lacking it’s usual lustre now that it’s returned. Well…please bear with me, as this morning’s upgrade to the newest version of Wordpress did not agree with my beloved theme. This is not good for the hormones.
Thanks to a generous and brilliant stranger who donated his time to helping me isolate the issue, I’m partially back up and running, but we may be seeing the818 go through a major facelift over the next couple of days. Stay tuned. (Or not, but please, do check back soon.)
UPDATE: Oh Look! I fixed it!

I know, I know, I’ve been terribly remiss. I’m breaking the rules of blogging, and backposting everything I’ve wanted to say and haven’t had time to in the last couple of weeks. Hang on to your hats…we’ve got a lot of catching up to do, so if you’ve got the818 on your RSS feed, it’s about to blow up. ‘Cause in addition to Eva’s epic birthday festivities, and a trip to NY for Amy and Magnus’s amazing wedding, I promise I’ve got a really good reason for falling so far behind.

If you are not a techno geek like me, skip ahead to a different post, because this one will bore you to tears and make no sense. If you are a techno geek – especially one who spends hours trying to work out glitches in your extensively scripted DVD Studio Pro projects, then you are going to be so excited. I am SO excited. Of course, this revelation comes too late to help me with the monster I’m just finishing (creating a Play All command by hand scripting each jump on a disc that has 100+ tracks – NIGHTMARE) but I will never again spend days on end cursing a DVD project, thanks to this article that popped up on my google alert just an instant too late. (Of course, the article is like, YEARS old already, but it’s hard information to come by okay!)
Drumroll please…
Scripting a Dynamic ‘Play All’ Button in DVD Studio Pro 3
Why oh why couldn’t I have found it sooner?!

The UK’s YOUMEHESHE 7.83 Hz house is one of the coolest pieces of pre-fab architecture I’ve ever seen, and at 170k (sans land,) it’s certainly something to fantasize about.
