I discovered a method for achieving equal height columns that I can’t help but share. This technique involves the use of position: absolute with top and bottom set to zero. What makes this method unique is that it allows you to have equal height columns inside of a container, regardless of the height or position of the container.
I setup a demo on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/clintmckoy/C6z6M/

“Pursue your purpose.”
It’s been about 5 years since I’ve done a concert, after a few years of non-stop touring. I was asked to share some music tonight at a local church. I’m kind of nervous, ok, really nervous, but excited about it at the same time. I feel like my music and outlook on life has changed drastically in the last 5 years. So, if you’re bored and looking for some free entertainment tonight, I’ll be sharing songs and stories at 7pm.
Venue:
Columbia First SDA Church
243 Riverchase Way
Lexington, SC 29072-9470
Time:
7pm
Kathryn Schulz, as quoted by Maria Popova:
If we have goals and dreams and we want to do our best, and if we love people and we don’t want to hurt them or lose them, we should feel pain when things go wrong. The point isn’t to live without any regrets, the point is to not hate ourselves for…

Waterfalls in Downtown Greenville, SC.
Laying down some tracks in GarageBand.
There are so many things right about this app. The lovely watercolor, miniature sketchbook icon. The marketing site. The “take this everywhere life takes you” video above. And the undo gesture: Place two fingers on the screen and draw a circle counter-clockwise to undo and clockwise to redo. (Though the number of undo/redo steps are limited.)
Download the app for free, and then purchase additional brushes for $1.99 or the entire set for $7.99. But I bet you’ll be really impressed with the calligraphy brush, which comes with the free app. Handwriting and sketching have never looked so good on iPad.

I’m making the switch from px’s to em’s in my CSS and I ran across this helpful hint today:
“Setting your default font-size to 62.5% means that the standard font-size on your web-page would be 10PX. Thus 1EM = 10PX, 1.5EM = 15PX, 1.2EM = 12PX and so on.”
So, set your body font-size to 63% and em calculations aren’t that bad after all!
In case this just doesn’t work for your current situation, here is a handy px to em calculator: http://riddle.pl/emcalc/
