I found these instructions by Mark Andrachek to install ColdFusion on an Intel-based Macintosh via Ben Forta’s blog. I tried them originally with a fresh install of Apache 2 and it didn’t work very well, but I removed the Apache install and used OS X’s built-in Apache and it worked fantastic!!

I’m not sure what the meaning of the name “Todos” is, “but this is the application launcher”:dbachrach.com/opensoft/… that I have been waiting for . I have wanted something that would give me quick and visual access to all of my applications quickly and this does it wonderfully.

I was looking through some of the video blogs that my computer had pulled down lately and found a bit about being able to post to blogs from TextMate. I had to try it out!

The Israel / Hezbollah conflict has given CNN plenty of opportunity to use the Breaking News section of their recently redesigned site. I think it's pretty sharp looking.

Today I’m beginning the process of creating a new design for the LPS web site. I’m not sure at this point if it will be a dramatic change or just an update of the current design. The first step that I’m starting today is evaluating other web sites. It’s difficult to find well-designed K-12 sites, so I’m mostly visiting University and College sites. My link dumps this week will likley contain a number of sites that I thought had some good ideas or design. I’m only considering sites that are standards-based. If the sites aren’t based on CSS and xHTML, I’m moving on.

It’s been pretty quiet here for a couple of weeks. I spent last week on vacation visiting my brother and his family in Saco, ME. We had a fantastic time up there. Amanda, My sister-in-law Courtney and I went Kayaking at LL Bean (It’s only $12). We saw fourth-of-july fireworks in Kennebunkport. We had lobster, went to the beach and saw Portland Headlight. My brother also took us to a place called the Great Lost Bear that had a great menu and almost 60 beers on tap. The weather was beautiful and we came back feeling like a vacation should make you feel.
