Here's a housekeeping tip of the day from me - your housekeeping DIVA now that Martha is going to the slammer (housekeeping DIVA? - ha! as if! - you should see my place - a pigsty if there ever was one - but I digress...).
If your garbage reeks and you can't stand to take it out because it just stinks so bad you can't bear it, thereby compounding your problem as your garbage gets older and more rotten and even more stinky... well, here is the solution! Drink chai tea and throw your teabags in the stinky garbage can. Voila! Instant garbage potpourri! It smells all cinnamony and spicy. If your garbage really reeks a couple of used teabags left in with the garbage for a day or so should mask the smell nicely.
Hat tip to Dave (my gorgeous and fabulous husband) who always takes out the garbage (did I mention how great he is?) and noticed that since I started drinking chai tea the garbage smells good.

Well... MACCAWS has finally published the Web standards white paper and primer. I've worked on it for almost 2 years and after a lot of heartache it's finally being published. Thanks to Steph and Becky and all the other people that worked on it over time.
So what are these papers about?

So the some judge says that we can download music. The judge said it's not a violation of Canadian copyright laws. Like I said in February, when they tried to sue, it's not the same here as it is in the US.
WOOT! Free the music!
