Usual oatmeal breakfast. Met with Cindy and Susie about our Flickr project. Student computing committee meeting. Lunch: panda express. My fortune: Your path may be difficult but will be rewarding. Ate in the library courtyard and chatted with funcrunch. Met with Cindy 1-on-1. Minor web edits. Flickr work: had a lot of fun taking Christian Heilmann's YUI DOM Collapse code and working it into a proposed web page based on a suggestion that Cindy made. Joel shared some caramel apples that his sister had sent him. Prepared for telecommute day tomorrow. Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled Pacific cod, shells and cheese, steamed spinach with boiled egg. I forgot to mention that the captioning on the DVD for The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) is really excellent. Discovered Flickr's multitags feature but didn't use it—good to know about it, tho. The Large Type feature in Apple Address Book is cool. In Address Book, right-click a phone number then select Large Type from the popup menu that appears and the application displays the phone number in gigantic type. The reasoning is that often when dialing if you're unfamiliar with the number it's very helpful to see the number larger than the size normally presented. It's along the same line of thought that I used when designing phone number markup on rechargespa.com. I'm glad to see my way of thinking validated in this manner. However, I prefer the behavior on the web page I coded rather than that in Apple Address Book—simply hover and the type is enlarged. With Address Book, it's 3 more steps which I think are unnecessary and therefore not as efficient. Did more manual address book entry migration, stopped for the day after migrating the entry for BK—quite possibly the longest address book entry I have so far. Stretches. Weight training: superslow front raise, lateral raise, calf raise. Stretches. Late meal: chunky soup, hot nonfat milk, 2 oatmeal raisin cookies made by Sam.
