Best things in the world

- FreakAngels, an episodic webcomic by Warren Ellis and artist Paul Duffield. It's free to read online. It's stupidly high-quality. It's in print on Amazon.com. If you like good graphic novels you owe it to yourself to read this, and the archives are now deep enough that you can sit down for a few hours and get up to speed.
- The 960.gs grid system. I'm fine with code and I can think in grids, but working out all the krunky stuff to make a complex layout work in IE, Firefox, and the rest? That feels like pain. The 960 grid sacrifices some semantics and locks you into a static layout, but it means you can work fast and focus on results. I'm hooked.
- Magic Hat. I've never seen it around before, but they've got it freakin' everywhere here in Providence. Yum.
- $99 iPhones. I guess that's the last of my excuses, once August rolls around and the end of my Sprint plan comes up.
- The MIT Museum. @mettamatt and I saw robots and sculptures and old hand-wired LISP machines, and it was crazy. I want to be a mechanical engineer when I grow up, and I have a new and profound respect for electrical engineers, the tribe my dad comes from. They had to make their 64K of RAM out of a washing machine full of copper wire, and they liked it.
- The glorious and gorgeous Catherine. I love traveling and hanging out with the Lullabots and the rest of the Drupal world, but coming home and seeing her after a week on the road is a wonderful thing. Hooray for home!
