Also great this time of year and in the same vein as Curtis Orchard is Robert Allerton park. It's about 45 minutes out of town just outside of Monticello.
My grandparents took me as a kid, and it made an incredibly lasting impression.
Had an idea on my lunch break Friday, and 12 hours later a friend and I had a made it a rough reality:
Internet Explorer Stole My Life.
From the site:
"Simply put, Internet Explorer is the bane of every web designer and programmer's existence. It's seen masterpieces ripped to shreds, and countless hours wasted simply attempting to get it to play nice. This site is a tribute to all those days gone because Internet Explorer refuses to adopt proper web standards. Take a moment to mourn your lost time and send a message: enough is enough."
What you see here is the first public iteration of the site. I'd love to get any feedback to see where we need to go from here.
Believe it or not, sensibleerection.com has some of the best intelligent and witty discussion I've found on the web. Sure there's the occasional pornography post, but most all of the people there offer intelligent debate.
