During the initial assault on Baghdad, soldiers set up forward bases named Camp Shell and Camp Exxon. Those soldiers knew the score, even if the Pentagon’s talking points dismissed any ties between Iraqi oil and their blood.
The Netgear WGR614 (802.11g + router) I ordered just came in. Took about 10min to set up and throw online. For now, it’s just attached onto my Linux box (which is acting as firewall/NAT/file server); I’ve yet to figure out if I’d rather figure out how to set up RIP on that (or otherwise getting them to play nice), or just replace it w/ the Netgear.
Zeldman’s WDW2003 Keynote (see post) includes a slide that points to one of the awesome CSS Zen Garden designs. I haven’t checked back in a while, but there are some real doozies. Favorites so far:
- Stormweather – my favorite of Shea’s designs
- Dead or Alive – quite nice, subtle, well balanced
- Not So Minimal – not as flashy or stylish as some of the others, but clean and well crafted
- Zunflower – the overlapping columns is quite nice
- What Lies Beneath – soft spot for funky horizontals, very creative
- White Lily – beautifully designed

I’m tempted to try my hand at this when I need to procrastinate blow off some steam… but it’d probably be rather embarrassing.
Talk To Me! – two people have been traveling on foot across NYC for over a year now, spending 8-14hrs a day just having conversations w/ people (on a budget of $7/day). Pretty darn cool.
