The cutest gene is more like it! But I am troubled by the proxmity of your A Problem from Hell to your Teach yourself CSS on several levels:
1. YOU, Mr. Book, have no Tipper Decibel System of classification?
2. Please change your font-sizes in pixel dims to points! My eyes hurt from squinting!

Laura, can you decrypt and repost? Normally I would pretend to understand so as not to appear not-in-the-know, but it sounds like you actually want me to do something...happy to oblige, but I need to ...dim the pixels? Point up the decibels? Match colors but mix patterns?

Forget the anecdotes, how about the keyboardist's tenure track appointment! 'Boyd states that his teaching position should have little or no effect on Head East's ability to tour.' Rock and roll!

That raises an important question: does a concert appearance at an outdoor summer function (one imagines something like "St. Louis Riverfest 2004") take precedence on one's CV over a paper given on a panel? And what if there's an impromptu jam with Ted Nugent at the end of the concert? Tenure committees should allow that to be worth a stand-alone lecture, at least.

Hey Bill,

Greetings from still-slightly-cool New Orleans! Laura wants you to use relative font sizes in your stylesheet instead of absolute (pixel) sizes - makes it easier to read for people with poor vision or ridiculouly high-definition monitors. You'd have to edit your stylesheet - see this article. And it'd make your site look different.

Alternatively, Laura could switch to a browser that supports text zooming - Firefox, say.

My favorite quote on the overplaying/grandstanding topic is attributed to some nameless guitarist a drummer friend of mine used to play with on Bourbon Street. After some grandiose, meandering solo by a relatively young player the guitarist dispensed this advice:

"Son, if you're going to f*ck around, f*ck around. Just don't f*ck around."
