Shave and a Haircut Pt.2 October 29 2004

My wife Blair had recently entered a fund raising campaign for breast cancer research. Her objective was to raise $2000 CAD in funds, as a result a Toronto radio station (Mix 99.9) would shave her head and air it on the radio.

She was able to raise more than $2200 CAD and the shave went through. Perhaps you want to see pictures?

Thank you to everyone for your support, she looks great!

Hopefully I will have an audio clip soon of the radio broadcast.

Rounded CSS Boxes October 28 2004

I decided to create a general template for rounded CSS boxes today. I know this topic has been covered before on several sites, however I still felt that I wanted to do it from scratch.

Browser compliant across IE/Moz/Opera.

If so, please send email -> norvin@eitzenlabs.com

Cheers!

My wife and I have been practicing our Judo 2 nights a week. Yesterday I was flipped and my skull took some of the impact. All was well, until 10 minutes later when I said “What happened?” Apparently I carried on normally or perhaps sat down after I landed yet I have a gap in my memory from that time.

Long story short, the Nurse on TeleHealth told me to go to the Emergency …

ZeeWeed on Slashdot/Salon October 22 2004

It seems that the company I work for, ZENON Environmental, is causing a bit of a stir on slashdot today. There was an article posted on Salon.com about a water treatment facility in Singapore that recycles wastewater into drinking water. Here is the slashdot article. A very exciting Friday afternoon indeed!
