Layout

The three columns have grown on me a little so for the now they will stay. I was hoping that I would be able to help Etan by figuring out how to make the columns percentages, but alas, I failed. Web development has never been my strong suit. If anyone has a suggestion, please suggest away.


Required Reading

My grandmother is nice enough to buy me a subscription to The New Yorker for christmas every year. She does the same for everybody in the family. The problem is that it is a weekly magazine and I just can't keep up. I usually take all month to get through a magazine. So with The New Yorker I end up only reading one out of four. I need to buckle down and start reading.


WebCam

I was digging around in my closet today and found an old USB webcam that I had forgotten about. A little excited about my discovery I was off to look for Mac OS X drivers. The pain in disappointment. As it turns out my camera is of some weird and uncommon variety that no one has managed to make drivers for. It makes sense. If I remember correctly I received this camera from Earthlink for signing up in 1998. It's not that I feel bad for me, I'll live. It is the other poor soles left with a useless Alaris WeeCam. They must be very sad. To add insult to injury, their website doesn't seem to work for me.
