Hot!<\/b><\/p>\n

Dear Flatlanders,<\/p>\n

It’s pretty early in my environs for full-blown Autumn, but here it is. The temperature dropped like a stone that was, er, dropped (after being first picked up). What happens in my little alpine chalet when it’s chilly outside? Light a fire! A big freakin’ fire, just to make sure that it catches, don’t you know.<\/p>\n

The little iBook feels like it’s on fire too. There’s a claim that it has cooling fans, but I’ve never heard them run. Not once. Not ever. And the damn thing’s hotter than things that are already really quite warm.<\/p>\n

The temperature readout on the thermostat is blinking ‘OL” which means either “over limit” or “out of luck.” I lost the manual, so I’m not really sure which.<\/p>\n

Before I turned my little shabby chic shack (not really, but it’s fun to say, try it!) into a sauna, I actually did work on the fleet, cleaned up the garage, and conned my neighbor into taking my trash to the dump for me. Productive? You bet!<\/p>\n

I also have a request if it’s not too much trouble. I’ve hit a wall in re-designing bobtherieau.com (don’t bother going there, nothing to see). Frankly, I just can’t decide what it should look like, so I could use your help. Have you seen a site lately that has navigation, or layout, or just a vibe that you like? Send me a link and tell me what you like about it. This doesn’t need to turn into an information design\/usability study. Hopefully, you can send me to places that I don’t frequent so I can get some ideas.<\/p>\n

So don’t send me to another pave the earth, club a baby harp seal, polishing Schwarzenegger’s jackboots site ‘cuz I’ve seen all of those. Okay? Great!<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
