eat dessert first

i’ve been playing around with the look of my blog for a few weeks now. i’m hindered by my rudimentary html skills and the fact that this was initially set up by my tech savvy husband, whose current talk of dreamhost, ftp and unzipping files is reminiscent of my finance professor explaining how and why to unlever a beta - some things just don’t take.

this theme seems okay with the exception of the kentucky derby inspired header. disclaimer: i haven’t developed a love of horses, although i did once win $40 at a racetrack when i was in the fifth-grade. that was a lot of money to a ten-year-old.

*in honor of graduation season, i recently read through commencement addresses from this and yesteryear. a few of my favorites:

• conan o’brien’s class day speech (harvard 2000) and his address to the graduating class of stuyvesant high school 2006 
• the “sunscreen” song, which contrary to urban legend, originated from a 1997 newspaper article, “advice, like youth, probably wasted on the young”
• steve jobs (stanford 2005)
• jk rowling (harvard 2008)
