I have my first business-related trip next week and I am looking forward to it. I will be in San Francisco at the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo at the Hyatt Regency. I will also be staying there, but hopefully have a chance to get out of the hotel and maybe even into the city. My dad [ READ MORE ]

My Grandma and Grandpa Johnson sent Rachel and me an article from their local paper about Eugene and the University of Oregon. It rated the city as the number one travel destination in the Pac-10. It mentioned a few of the hot spots (a few of which I have yet to go to, but definitely [ READ MORE ]
I had done this before to make Firefox on the Mac pretty, but didn’t feel like editing stylesheets and messing with graphics again for my newest installation of Firefox. Over breakfast today I was reading the newest Macworld and read about Firefoxy. It does the trick in seconds. [ READ MORE ]
