Uh.
Safari doesn’t display my site properly - there’s no image at the top. And it doesn’t support a post bookmarklet either. Bummer.

I’ve spent 2 hours on the phone with Time Warner’s lackeys in the last three days. Screw their DVR service. I’m getting Tivo. They’re running a special on a reconditioned Series 2 60 hour box for $149.
