In the last week the following has transpired in my life:

• My grandmother died.
• I got engaged.
• I turned 30.

Whew.

A quote in a recent interview Eric Meyer (CSS guru in the truest sense of the word) is so prescient and taut it applies to virtually anything. I think it bears repeating:

Any time a person tells you that there is one and only one way to size fonts for all sites, they’re trying to hand you a philosophy, not a solution.

Take out the bit about sizing fonts and insert just about anything and it holds up.

This reminds me of a quote from the movie The Big Kahuna:

…As soon as you lay your hands on a conversation to steer it, it’s not a conversation anymore; it’s a pitch. And you’re not a human being; you’re a marketing rep.
