Making something work... but what?

ROCKETRAT DESIGN
Well, the RocketRat sites are looking great, I think. Two items on the agenda are left. The first being I need to fix up this confounded box model CSS crap that's wreaking havoc with that shitey, piece-o-crap Internet Explorer. I entered in some hacks that I hope work. I'll get to check tomorrow.

The other is that I'm going to add another sidebar where I can list specific recommendations and my favorite links.

The RocketRat Strips page is currently on hold. The design will be a bit different from the other pages, and I want to complete some of the cartoons before I even begin.

I'm also working on a new design for my portfolio page. This will, hopefully, give me the space to clean it up and make it look as professional as I hope my work someday is. (^o^)v

WACKY DAYS ON THE OL' RANCH WE CALL JAPAN
The other day, Meg and I went to the local aquarium for a little date-day. It was nice, although the penguins seemed more than depressed. The aquarium is loads better than the zoos in this country where it seems that I can sometimes see suicide gleaming in the eyes of the animals who can't leave.

Osaka just recently was supposed to have been hit by a typhoon that drowned everyone south of us. We were lucky as it veered away. Sorry that the others weren't so lucky.

Niigata, to the north of Tokyo, was AGAIN ravaged by a devastating earthquake. The damage seems really bad, and as soon as my brief summer vacation comes to be, I'm gonna go up for a couple of days and see if I can help with something. There are volunteer groups that I hope I can link up with.

And to top it all off, today, my wife just found out that her father has a herniated spine and has been in the hospital for a week. She wasn't too happy to not hear about it until now. She took her mini-break and went back home. よかたな！ Luckily, he's fine. He'll probably need some physical therapy though.

Anyway, there'll be more later...

Mike, the RocketRat surrounded by disaster on all sides!
