It's told by Billy Ward, the drummer who taught "Guy Patterson" (Tom Everett Scott) to play for the movie. Thu, 09 Mar 2006 04:30:19 GMT fun Tom Everett Scott is without a doubt the best student I've ever had - and ALL credit should go to him, not me.

So i wrote everything out - and that is how he got it. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/6767903/forward http://www.furl.net/item/6767903 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 15:28:21 GMT design The first part of this Five Simple Steps series is taking some of the points discussed in the preface and putting it to practice. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/6767893/forward http://www.furl.net/item/6767893 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 15:27:32 GMT typography Typography, as discussed in the introduction to this series, is comprised of many constituent parts, one of which is Typesetting. As already discussed, Typesetting is the composition of a body of text from raw material into a designed presentation. One of the aspects of Typesetting which seems to be lacking in the design profession—and I'm guilty as this as the next designer—is that of a thorough understanding of the written word. A total grasp of punctuation, grammar and structure and when and where to use them. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/4102902/forward http://www.furl.net/item/4102902 Mon, 08 Aug 2005 13:48:19 GMT del.icio.us Today I noticed that Chris Lott was looking for a super-fast way to post to del.icio.us after having posted a link to this bookmarklet on his del.icio.us link page. The bookmarklet provides the following functionality: * The ability to type ‘d tag1 tag2 …’ on the location bar to tag a new URL. * If you select a block of text on the page, that is saved as the extended description. (Borrowed from here) * The window is automatically closed after the link is posted.

Often these libraries are placed in a Java Archive (JAR) file so that they can be used by multiple applications. These JAR file libraries can be created by the application provider or obtained from a third party. The J2EE platform supports the common use case of an application's using a library that is provided to the application code. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/4078581/forward http://www.furl.net/item/4078581 Fri, 05 Aug 2005 16:43:41 GMT macosx Mark Forster, a time management coach, wrote a pretty well article on getting started on a project.
