Happy Labor Day, USA
Labor Day is tomorrow. I had a difficult time explaining to my son why he didn’t get to go back to school on Monday (yes, get to go back - he really is enjoying it!), mainly because I didn’t know what exactly the Labor Day holiday is celebrating.
Well, I’m not much of a parent if I don’t try to learn these things to tell him.
Seems Labor Day is celebrated as a workingman’s holiday. All those dudes in the 1880’s working in the labor unions needed a day off, and so in 1994 Congress made it a federal holiday.
That’s my 5-year-old version, and I’m sticking to it! If anyone has any neat trivia, or a site aside from Wikipedia that gears it towards kids in a fun way, I’d love to see it!

You can bet when this phone from Nokia comes on the market, I will be the first in line, drooling over its wonderous coolness. The only thing that would stop me from purchasing it could be the price, which I’m guessing will be hefty.
Doesn’t it remind you of Violet’s credit card bracelet in Ultraviolet?

Because I was able to see that someone from Turkey visited my site today. That is cool.

Since there is a significant lack of decent content here lately, I thought I’d pose a question.
Any idea how this FSBO site gets those nifty in-page pop-up windows? I want them. I want them bad.
And I’m not even totally incompetant when it comes to coding. I took a peek at the source for the page, but wasn’t able to discover what site the website author may have gotten the code snippet for that neat effect. I’m pretty sure it’s probably something I can get free online, but I’m not even sure where to start looking.
So any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

But I do subscribe to the Fail Blog for little gems like this. It took me a bit to figure out what happened to that car…bet it took him a little bit yet.
This is (one of) my guilty online pleasure(s). That, and I Can Has Cheezeburger. Juvinile? Yes. Hilarious? Abso-freakin-lutely.
For my intellectual funnies, I visit The Daily WTF, which rates only slightly above Computer Stupidities.
The most hilarous site ever if you have ever had the priviledge of spending any amount of time in a IRC or ICQ chat room is by far Bash.org (which actually seems to be down right now, which is absolutely horrible). I don’t bookmark this site, because it is far more hilarious to visit it once every three months or so, then read through the top 200 quotes. I need adult diapers every time I read this stuff, I laugh so hard!
