Will Pike, a 28-year-old Englishman, was badly injured in the tragic Mumbai terror attacks — shattering his body in a failed escape attempt.

During Pike’s ongoing recovery, he and his girlfriend missed their eagerly awaited night out to see British comic Eddie Izzard. Pike’s father wrote Izzard, asking if the comic could send along a note to ease Pike’s disappointment and depression.

Izzard refused. Instead, the star of The Riches and Valkyrie showed up at the hospital and performed his entire 90 minute stand-up set at Pike’s bedside.

Eddie Izzard just moved into first position on my “cross dressing English comedians I respect the most” list.  What a great little story.

HTML Help!

Many thanks to the responses I received on my HTML question.  When people comment, email and reblog, it’s only fair to take the information you’ve received and share it with everyone.  I love hearing from you guys btw, whether by comment, reblog, email or IM.   I’ve met and learned from so many people, all because of my blog and this community.  I digress.

Back to reader suggestions on where to find help with HTML:

I’m ready to jump in (and I’m up for that one-hour tutorial if you’re still offering Allen).  Jesus, if I can just get the search bar back on my header and make it look a bit more like this as opposed to this, I’d be happy.

The first NFL team to lead a division for 16 weeks and not make the playoffs (is the Denver Broncos). To commemorate the event, they will officially change their name to the Mets.

“We’ve found that too many Silicon Valley garages and Silicon Alley lofts focus on innovation, but the time it takes for the adoption curve to catch up drains every dollar in the bank account. Herman blackbook (Hb) is a new breed of consulting & advisory firm created to help entrepreneurs close the gap between the innovation and adoption curves which not only is fiscally responsible, it helps build solid and sustainable companies.”

Congrats to Darren Herman.  I don’t think the amount is important here (what most TC commenters are focusing on).  You’re basically giving them a stake in turn for their  connections and expertise.  It’s going to be very interesting to see how this progresses.

Maybe they will let Obama keep his berry is he promises never—never—to wear it in a holster again.
Wow, I just lost a bunch of respect for the guy.  I thought he was so cool.  Now I see the truth.

Seriously.  Ices?  gross.
