That’s my current progress on my sand/salt tower (lulz). Arts and Crafts are awesome, I just need supplies like more Purple, Blue, Green, and Orange chalk.

9/21/08: This entry is so crappy, that’ll I’ll be keeping the crappiness, but I’ll edit it for your viewing pleasure into a nice bulleted list!

  • Organized! (great)
  • Reminders. (these come in handy)
  • Notes. (organized)
  • Simple. (clean, easy to read)
  • Visualization (yum)

Crap Crappity Crap: Lists are a simplified way to organize your information. They are multi-faceted, multi-taskers, that help us every day. They remind us to take out the dog, buy laundry detergent, and arrange notes. They are flexible enough to be easy to follow, and incorporate into your daily routine.

In school, projects are usually neglected because of lack of organization. If we divided our projects into mini assignments arranged into a list ascending in difficultly, we would be completed in no time. If we wrote down everything we needed to buy before we actually got to the store and circled the items we need on the weekly advertisements and write down the prices as add them to a cart, our lives would be much more simple (we wouldn’t need to remember the things we forgot and go back and get them).

Written lists compared to Planner Schedules are superior (imo). Written lists can be highlighted or accented to prioritize. Every minute of our lives aren’t plotted using written lists. It’s much simpler, write it down, and cross out when completed or null. They can be organized in a way to see ‘visually’ what you need to do, its all right there in front of you.

Using lists can simplify your life in very positive and rewarding ways.

9/21/08: This crap doesn’t work. Just skip this entry. lol.

More Crap: Achieving a 1px grey line using <hr /> tags (for me, since today) are actually quite hard to achieve. I use them to separate them posts and entries. Usually I just pop a border property (example: border: 1px solid #CCC;) under the hr tag in my style sheet. This creates a 2px line.

In equation I added 0 as a value for border-bottom. This method sometimes creates a left border, to fix this I added border-left: 0; to the selector.

hr {
	border-top: 1px solid #CCC;
	border-bottom: 0;
	border-left: 0;
	border-right: 0;
}

Using the same method, only condensed:

hr {
	border: 0;
	border-top: 1px solid #CCC;
}

Edit: As pointed out by Kaylee, these methods are not compatible with IE.

Saving The Best For Last

Try not to save the best for last. I always thought the last is the most important and more likely to be remembered. When I eat, I always leave the best part of the meal for the finale (it usually gets nabbed anyways), but I realize I never really remember the final taste.

As an experiment (for this entry, I’m very devoted to this blog) I tried eating the best parts of a meal first. Now I actually remember how my soup tasted (my mom makes it with the perfect amount of salt). Moral: Try things in reverse (its much more fun anyways)!
