Online Fame | A 'blog written by Chris Rhee

With the latest stable version of Firefox and Firebug (1.0.5), I’ve been having problems when inspecting anchor tags. The CSS/styles set for anchors don’t display in Firebug’s window. It just shows the styles for body or other parent elements of the link.

As a temporary fix, I’ve installed a beta version of Firebug, which is available here. It’s up to you whether inspecting a link’s CSS is important enough to run the beta version of Firebug.

And yes, doing “website stuff” is one of the main reasons I never write anymore.

Yeah i made hemmingway comment sluk like the once Brian has in www.avalonstar.com infact i had made hemmingway luk exactlly like his webiste …

I think I’ll ignore the fact that the guy is talking about stealing a design element from Bryan (which is incredibly lame). Instead, his post urged me to write a message to anyone who writes anything for public consumption on the internet: Please spell your goddamn words correctly.

I fear that the more I’m bombarded by sloppy-ass spelling on the internet, the more likely I will be to make those same mistakes.

I saw someone type the word(s), “orphan edges” earlier today. I guess I can’t be too concerned with someone who doesn’t know that orphanages is a single word when the guy I quoted earlier fucked up the word look twice in one post and can’t tell the difference between once and ones.

Maybe I just expect more from everyone who didn’t fail their English class in high school. (It wasn’t my fault, damnit. Mrs. Wilson was totally out to get me!)

A project I was helping with just went live: the QN5 Blog. It’s written by the artists of QN5 Music, an independent hip-hop record label (of which I’m a big fan, so it was great to be able to hook them up with a site and design). Tell your good ol’ pals all about it!

I think the only way my cumulative experience with Comcast could get any worse is if they randomly sent a technician to my house to kick me in the groin. Twice.

I no longer find lip-synching videos funny or interesting. YouTube users have played out the joke to death (although sadly, some people don’t know it’s dead, yet).

The only funny lip-sync video I still find funny is the unplanned one: Ashley Simpson on Saturday Night Live. I think the impromptu hoe-down sealed the deal.
