I finish up the yearbook and then find designer.com, a site run by corel. Lots of tips and tricks for corel draw that probably would have been useful.

Spent the evening at a banquet dinner hosted by the Brockville Minor Soccer Club. It was a recognition thing for all the people who have helped coach a soccer team. I’m co-coaching an under-13 boys soccer team, so 11 and 12 year olds, the team is sponsored by digitronics. It’s kind of fitting that i’m sponsored by a local computer store. We ended up second place in the playoffs, so we play in the championship game on thursday.

McSweeney’s has got some great stuff if you’re up for some reading. Bare bones, mid-90’s webdesign, it works though.

Thought I had seen jack’s name before. He macified mike’s fonts.

Well, it’s been a fun afternoon. I added permanent links to my site, so i can link back to any other entry or other people can link to them. Also came across jack saturn’s site and through him, riothero. They are both great sites and i’m sure i’ll be back to visit them. I think i came across riothero a long time ago, maybe back when swanky used to be a different type of community.

Kind of cool, Ogg Vorbis a possible replacement for mp3. This one is going to be totally free, not owned by anyone. People don’t realize that the mp3 codec is actually owned by the fraunhofer group or institution or whatever it is. Apparently they want going to charge companies that make mp3 encoders a liscensing fee.

Poking around the web, approaching lunch time. See kitschbitch. I like it, simple design, effective for the content. I think the text on the right side could be a bit cleaner though. Other than that it was nice, i actually sat here and read through most of it. Now that’s unusual. And there’s iblog, not a bad weblog at all.

Back at work, two weeks left. Playing with netscape 6 again, unfortunately it doesn’t like my blogger form. Found sja from derek powazek’s site.

Watched Man Bites Dog last night. Another forign subtitled film. Not for the faint of heart, totally random violence. Basically, a film crew documents the crimes of a serial killer. They also manage to go through about 3 or 4 different sound men (they keep getting killed accidently). It has some really moments in it and you get to see how messed up some people’s minds can be.

You know those times when you just want to beat the crap out of your computer parts? Go for it.
