I just got drafted to a beer league softball team. And although I’m like a total jock, I do nay know how to play. Myke and I are gonna practice on our lunch break. Spring training.

Totally psyched. 

Blueprint CSS Framework

SO Blueprint rules. It solves problems that I deal with at the begining of every (web) project. Things like resetting browser defaults, setting up layout and baseline grids for your design. It creates sane defaults for type size alignment and spacing. It does all of these things in ways that work elegantly in most browsers your visitors are likely to be using, including Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (puke).

The default grid is 950px wide, and to change it you have to run a ruby script. I was like WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!? It says it’s easy, but that kind of programming is nay my department. The first project I am using this framework on is a website for Red Cross Youth which is being designed for 800 x 600 resolution so I need to change the grid to 760px wide. After reading up how to run this script (crying on the inside, as to not let my CD see) I did some googling and found this:

JACKPOT.

Life is good.
