Go back to Google’s original size search bar

So as some of you may have noticed, Google made their search bar more accessible to the geriatric community by enlarging the search bar and font size. Now as a human being (aka ‘creature of habit’), this bothers the hell out of me. I’m totally not used to it, I don’t want to get used to it. Just put it back to normal.

In comes, GreaseMonkey.

Now I’ll be the first to admit, I have a problem with Firefox plugins, in that I use entirely too many. But this one is totally worth it. With user scripts that return the Google search bar back to normal, pimp out your google reader, AND google calendar, you can’t go wrong.

I’ve fallen in love.

Moving Out (Anthonys Song)

Hanging with Gillian watching some “Mystery Science Theater” Zombie Nightmare edition. Cleaned, did laundry, did mockups for a friends site, updated another.

Busy.

Learning about tracking pixels for a custom home takeover. Need to learn new things, or extend my knowledge of current topics further.

I’m attending WordCampNYC next month and looking very forward to it. I’ve been using WordPress for the past two years and couldn’t think of a better way to learn about the worlds best
Web publishing platform.

Also supposed to be moving out next month, which I am extremely excited about. Especially since I’ll be moving in with my girlfriend of three years. Good times ahead.

Woooo! Vacation! Europe!

First day of vacation: Went to Mayhem fest with my friends Rob, Frank, and Marty, and helped them film some interviews. And then we got to see… SLAYER!!!!!! Was Awesome. Then chilled at the after party which God Forbid hosted which was also Awesome! Followed by sleeping in Newark Airport for a couple of hours before our flight. Day 1 success.

Mobile Friendly Stylesheets

So I was assigned the task of creating a mobile version of the website I work for.

Luckily I came across this great starting point provided by the guys from nettuts.com

Check out the tutorial which includes javascript to detect the users browsers and the orientation of the iPhone to serve up the correct stylesheet for either portrait or landscape view.
