Breakfast at home: Grandma Goodie's honey nut granola with nonfat vanilla yogurt and 2 small, fresh, diced nectarines. Rode Muni to work. Web redesign assessment work: generated more sitemaps, created screensnaps of sitemaps, added them to the draft document. Minor web edits for Carol: pathway declaration dates. Did some prep work for the forthcoming listserv rotations. Management activities. Sent the listserv rotations reminder announcement. Management activities. Lunch from home at desk: organic hearts of romaine salad with mixed cheeses and sliced mushrooms, lowfat ranch dressing. Helped Tina B and 5 students resolve a problem connecting to wireless in the conference room down the hall: about 15 minutes. 5 Macs and 1 Windows. The problem was that they didn't know where the password was. They had looked in the usual location but it was not there. The one that was hardest to connect was running OS 10.4.11. I got it working by trying every combination of (WPA/WPA2/Personal/Enterprise/Whatever)—it took a long time. Supp app project work in Drupal: lots of Fill PDF work. Shuttle to Mount Zion campus. Doctor appointment. Early dinner at My Father's Kitchen: pho ga, hot Mighty Leaf green tea. The pho ga here is really simple: broth, chicken, noodles, parsley, green onions, onions, basil. They did not serve fresh basil, bean sprouts, or peppers on the side. I missed having those additions, but the meal was still delicious. I had the large bowl for $8. They also serve a small bowl for $7, which I think is weird. All the ingredients are super fresh. Shuttle back to Parnassus. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Supp app project work in Drupal: lots of Fill PDF work. Rode Muni home. Laundry. Spent some time playing with Google+ (aka Google Plus) following a field trial invitation from Travis. I also hung out (Hangedout? Hangouted?) with him. Today is the first day I saw Google web properties with a very dark gray bar (#2d2d2d) across the top. Trying out Google Fonts has been on my list of things to do since May 25 when I discovered from a page on circuscenter.org that Google Fonts are selectable and scalable—two things that Cufón does not do. I learned today that they have recently added over 100 new fonts. And their tools to display and select from are pretty amazing. This is very exciting. I'm still interested in how Google Fonts compares to WOFF. My guess is that Google Fonts is probably a better solution for today and that WOFF might still be better later on because support for WOFF is still in its infancy. Weight training: door pull ups. Late meal: butternut squash macaroni and cheese, water.
