just another pee stop on the information superhighway
Welcome to the latest incarnation of kocik.net. I’ve lost track of what version this is since it first appeared back in 1999. The site has gone from manually written code in Notepad to Flash-based front ends on a couple versions to blogs and now this. Each has had its own theme for whatever floated my boat at the time. And this “hit the highway” version of kocik.net is no exception.
But first, let me say that if you’re using any version of Internet Explorer (ver.9 excluded), this looks like a great big mess. I’ll explain.
I’m using this site as a sandbox to play around with HTML5 and CSS3. If you know what that means, you might see subtle changes from time to time, and if you’re interested you can check the Updates link at left. If you don’t know what that means, that's OK (and more normal than not!). Just know a few things: (1) This version is stripped-down to a very minimalist-blog-type site that focuses on three topics; (2) If you have an older browser that doesn’t “understand” HTML5 or CSS3, you may not see everything as I designed it. (3) If #2 applies to you and you want to enjoy kocik.net to the fullest (as well as get the most out of many other sites on the 'Net), check to see if your browser needs updating Internet Explorer users select Tools > Windows Update, Firefox and Opera users select Help > Check for Updates, Google Chrome users select the Customize/Control (wrench) icon > About Google Chrome.

I plan to overannunciate the "d" in Wednesday and the "r" in February until it drives enough people crazy to petition Webster's to finally change the spellings.
