Firefox doesnt seem to like some of the coding on the page; if you ever notice the sidebar disappearing, then that means it's usually been displaced to the bottom of the page. as far as i know, it happens randomly. Rene suggested some changes in the div tags last week, i made em, and forgot to post an update. so if youre using Firefox and notice strange formatting issues, post a comment.

IE should be fine.

this is unrelated to the band, indie rock, and/or web design, but head over to Token Minorities to check out the tongue-in-cheek The 13 Hottest Men of Gaming, In Color. great idea for a blog (race + gaming), i think ive mentioned it before. to somebody anyway. i played through Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines again on the PC months ago and it cracked me up how "Other-ing" and orientalism informs even the supernatural world, as seen in representations of the (exotic and inscrutable) Kuei-Jin, who i guess technically arent "real" vampires, not like the others, and are approached with distrust and suspicion by the Western vampire world. never been a White Wolf gamer so i dont know the specifics of their undead nature, a quick search on Wiki tells me it's got to do with them being "revenants." ive always been a 2nd ed. Forgotten Realms guy, anyway. RIP Gygax.
