After reading Pronet Advertising’s post “Making Your Content Del.icio.us” I wanted to place an “Add to Del.icio.us” link in my feeds.

Windows Vista: Looking Mac-likeI would have to consider myself an Apple junkie. After having been convinced several years ago by a good friend to give it a go, I haven’t looked back.

About Me

My name’s Jen; I’m a cynical, sarcastic, ex-drummer who is fond of dark humor. I've held way too many factory & retail jobs but finally found my calling one Christmas holiday in a dark, musty basement. I am now a CSS & XHTML web standards looney and can be found daily—when I’m not at my Mac—at the local fair-trade coffee shop buying an iced-soy mocha no matter the temperature.

I am also the owner of Pop Stalin Design specializing in CSS & XHTML web design as well as custom WordPress themes.
