Full-screen browser for OSX - PlainView

Submitted by on

Building my presentation for the FL Drupal Camp I was stuck - neither Firefox nor Safari would let me do a full-screen browser display so the audience was going to be stuck seeing my title bar, browser window border, tool bar, etc - not terribly good for a presentation. A bit of searching later I discovered the perfect solution - PlainView.

This was knowledge built over my career as a web developer, but primarily during the past eight months working on SkiNet.com.

Amazing photos from Kentucky's horrendous ice storm

Submitted by on

Kentucky has been going through some tough times with a horrendous ice storm that has devastated the western side of the state. Someone posted a link to a blog of a KY inhabitant detailing the destruction with some breathtaking photos and a note that they don't expect to receive power for several more weeks. Ugh. The conversation with my wife included the following:

Wife: "This is a storm of a century, something that only happens once in a lifetime!"
