Fanning the fire....
Just to add fuel to that particular fire here on this site too :P
Why do people use two spaces after a period ?? WHEN THEY ARE USING A VARIABLE WIDTH FONT
and not a fixed width font !!!!!!
Most people are fools...
Why do most people go around and say that they think Microsoft is evil and Apple is awesome?
On a daily basis, I find myself wondering why they've been fooled by the hype and the trendiness of Apple. These people in question go on diatribes about how the windows model has made people slaves to the OS, Microsoft is evil, Vista sucks, blah blah blah.
Site Evolution...
If you're a frequenter of the site you may have noticed some changes lately. Yes, it's finally happened! In an effort to make our site more useful and just generally nicer, we actually worked on it
Firebug : THE Firefox Extension....
Many moons ago, back in my days of owning a web site cart, it used to be that when you were creating drupal themes or doing css in general, you had to go through a ton of trial and error just to see if you were 'touching' a certain div or something in order to add properties to it, a huge issue when things are nested deeply.
Site Improvements
The first in a long line of planned enhancements, the Agaric News block is finally here. We've got plenty more changes coming as well, after extensive polling of our users, we've realized that it's time for a change! yes, a change to a more user friendly site! ok, maybe the polling wasn't that extensive but still...
Brought to you by the Agaric overnight crew.

The Story on Agaric
I've always had a passion for good design and healthy coding, even back in the days of owning a web site cart in downtown Natick. Back then, my partner and I made all natural HTML roll-up web sites and, as an incentive for customers to wait in line, we baked Drupal into different flavored designs. The Drupal became remarkably popular and before we knew it, the Agaric Design Collective was born.
