It’s November?
November 4th, 2008. Categories: Musings.Well, I was going to do my third 24HC this past weekend, but decided not to. It was Halloween weekend, I hadn’t had a weekend home to myself in a couple weeks, I was invited to a party, and I had tons of work to do for school (mostly finishing the Summer’s Year video) so it just seemed to make much more sense to move my next attempt to November 8th.
I’m actually redesigning my 24HC website for my web class, since I didn’t really put a whole lot of effort or thought into the look of the site before smashing it together. It’ll be a much nicer, slicker design, hopefully with some snazzy Javascript scrolling. I finished building the site last night, but since my navigation uses a stationary image map, most existing smooth scroll scripts do not work properly. As Chris explained to me, they are usually scripts that find all anchor links in a page that link to other parts of the same page and apply handlers to them, but since an image map doesn’t use anchors, I need something that looks for HREFs or something like that. Chris is working on tweaking the script for me, so hopefully it’ll work out before the website is due.
Since it’s November 4th, I feel I have to mention the election. It’s in fact voting day here in the USA, and in just a few hours we will have a pretty clear indication of who our new president is. Chris and I voted two weeks ago at the Vets’ Memorial downtown, so we don’t have to stand in line at the polls today. To show my support, I pinned the Obama/Biden bumper sticker I got for free from MoveOn.org to my bag. Normally I’m self-conscious when anything about my appearance draws attention to me (such as the time my black earbuds broke and I had to use the white Apple earbuds with my iPod for a few days; that made me feel extremely awkward) but in the spirit of the election, I’ll take one for the team.
I’ll close with my ‘favorite’ of the horrible, tasteless t-shirts that came up in the last year. By favorite, I mean I find it funny but do know how exactly terribly unfunny it really is. (Cringe.)
Bros Before Hos: Obama 08!
