New look and feel
Nothing much to say. Switched to a widget ready theme. I’ve still been working on my custom theme, but this is a good stepping stone. I like the layout of this one. Now I just need to tweak the styles and change some of the graphics.
some day…

hmmm….
Abstinence Pants (along with a photo of them in the wild).
I guess its like putting a nutrition label on a candy bar. It may stop you once or twice, but if you’re really craving the sweets, you’re gonna eat ‘em.
On the other hand, its not as bad as Juicy which can go one of two ways. (shudder)
Despite a string of money finishes, it seems our destiny now is to languish near the bottom of the pack. Maybe the break last week should have signaled our retirement. Are we now like Sugar Ray Leonard in 1991 when he was knocked down twice by Terry Norris? Or are we like Larry Bird in his last season shooting only 20 points per game? Heck – Bird could at least claim back injuries; what can we claim? My abstinence from diet coke and alcohol may have made me a bit cranky, but the rest of the team more than made up for it. And yes, one of our key players was spun off from us to help a splinter faction. But these are no excuses, they are the whinings and snivelings of losers…
Perhaps it is time to sunset SparkleMotion… leave what little glory there is for the history books.
In Cities and Ambition, essayist and hacker extraordanaire Paul Graham puts forward the idea that a city sends cues to its inhabitants on how to behave and what to strive for: New York says you should be richer, Cambridge says you should be smarter, etc.
So what message does Portland send?
For me, I think Portland tells its citizens that they should improve themselves. We should be greener, we should be more active, we should be weirder.
What do you think?
