It can be insightful or it can be silly.. Everyday we all learn something new.
What did you learn today?



I discovered a new word: 'phiz' is British slang for face.

I learned that if you move even one little link on a website (cleaning house), you could be in for a world of hurting and have to rebuild the whole damn thing (all 1,000+ pages and 5,000+ images). Ouch.




Or ...

I could look on the bright side and view it as an opportunity for a brand new up-to-date modern look for an older website (that just went through a total redesign less than two years ago )


Depends on how much of a Pollyanna I feel like being today.

*sigh*

I don't doubt you. Supposedly there is a lot of penises hidden in the scenery (in particular Aladin) and many sexual innuendo's in the Disney films. Now that my kids are just starting to watch the movies I am starting to see things that make me think that good ol' Walt was rather twisted..
