This subject was the biggest waste of my time ever. Seriously — we where in there for about 25 minutes before we realised this and bailed.

The lecture read from her Powerpoint slides, word for word.

I had a BLT for lunch, but I didn’t eat the tomato.

Browser-compatibility

This design for Sinking Puppies is a style for K2, so I guess that left me in pretty good stead for cross-browser compatibility. The actual K2 website shows the theme as it is in it’s default form, and comparing Sinking Puppies to the original K2 makes it kinda obvious I’ve torn it apart, so towards...
