iWeb No.3: Entering the iWeb Domain
Where does iWeb save the files and folders of your site while you’re working on it; what web designers refer to as the local site? The data is saved in the system in a special format, called the Domain file. Let’s navigate now to the Domain file and have a look. Open Finder and go [...]
iWeb No. 2: Choosing a Template
Launch iWeb and examine the opening dialog box. There is a selection of beautiful templates to choose from. The problem with templates is, you run the risk of showing up like Scarlett O’Hara in the same dress as your rival at the dance. We can learn quite alot from the talented designers at Apple, [...]
iWeb No. 1: Why iWeb?
This is the first in a series of tutorials on the Apple software iWeb, an application installed on all Mac computers as part of the operating system Leopard. Like all software which builds websites in a drag and drop window, iWeb is a code generator. There are pros and cons to building a website without [...]
Wine: Fantelli Torrontes
Ah, my first wine review. Actually, I’m sitting on several, but wasn’t publishing them because my blog wasn’t that expansive. As part of the remake, I get to talk about whatever I want. I am recently recommending Torrontes; its a terrific grape, and often a terrific value. Argentina has become known in recent years for [...]
Ladies Night at Pasadena Bike Week
The merchants of One Colorado plied me with sugar and wine on Wednesday night when I went for Ladies Night, an event for Bike Week Pasadena. It was a wonderful evening; there was a bike valet, live music, raffles, and goodies everywhere. While I’ve been around here for other rides, I’d never had a chance [...]
Blessing of the Bicycles
No doubt, I’m safer than ever on the road following the annual Blessing of the Bicycles at Good Samaritan Hospital on May 13. Notable cyclists having their bikes blessed included Damien Newton of Streetsblog, Ron Milam of Bikesage and Paul and Veronica of the Bike Oven. Free coffee and patch kits! C.I.C.L.E. was one of the sponsors; [...]
Bridges: the same river, again and again.
I got something done: I updated this blog’s color scheme, which was a bit of a headache. I essentially hacked the css file in the original theme (Fancy, by AZ Money) but it didn’t take until I’d run through all the new shades on the admin panel. I’m going to work on a blogspot template [...]
Change
If you stumble upon this blog within the next few weeks you’ll notice a certain eccentric quality to the content. That’s because I’m in the process of a major rebuild. I recently left my job working for a computer company and as a result, I can start blogging about technology and maybe even write a [...]
Galileo’s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love.
By Dava Sobel. This book is beautiful as a back to back read with Kepler’s Witch…A fascinating examination of both the science of the day in a religious and social context, yet an intimate look at Galileo’s relationship with his daughter. The role of women in this period is perhaps best understood by considering these [...]
Oil on the Brain: Petroleum’s Long, Strange Trip to Your Tank
By Lisa Margonelli. Here’s the best book I can recommend on the petroleum problem. The author’s perspective is personal, insightful, and compelling. I can’t see a simple gas station the same since I read it, but it wasn’t a downer. She explores the options of a new energy economy without ignoring the most important: we [...]
