• Finishing up some web updates and some ad-hoc web design. Using a client image as a basis for quick pages. Short-term solution, likely. #

• Wrapping up client Web updates as Phillies wrap up dreadful weekend series against Marlins. Humidity awful. Firefox still wonky w/ Twitter?? #
• @amy_grech Tried a test Tweet with Firefox 3.5 and it worked. So maybe the post-hacker wrinkles have been ironed out finally. #
• Supposed to be 97-98 degrees tomorrow. Too bad my laptop isn't waterproof or I'd work on it in the pool all day. #

• Between Books (Claymont DE) now has 10 copies of SHIMMER. Tonight, I'll be watching Being Human (BBC A) and Infestation (SF), might be good. #
• @amy_grech If you hear it's been resolved, let me know. I'll do likewise. in reply to amy_grech #
• Watching the Phillies vs. Marlins… so is a case of "dropsy" contagious? #
• Infestation was one of the most enjoyable SF channel movies I've seen. Gotta give 'em props for that. Ray "Reaper" Wise was fun. #
