As I've been redesigning my blog template, I've noticed that when you combine two boxes with a 1-pixel border, the result is a 2-pixel line between the boxes. Thanks to the guys at Sitepoint, I'm now aware that the border-collapse property in CSS-2 will take care of this, as seen below: table { border-collapse: collapse; } td, th { border: 1px solid black; } According to Sitepoint, "The border-collapse property instructs the browser to combine the borders of adjacent table cells, collapsing them together according to a set of precedence rules described in the CSS2 Recommendation. Browsers that support this include Internet Explorer 5 for Windows, Netscape 6, Mozilla, and Opera 7."

Diabetes isn't the easiest disease in the world to live with. Constantly monitoring blood glucose levels, pricking fingers for blood, and carefully watching what they eat...such is a day in the life of a diabetic. Fortunately, a team of students competing in the annual MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition have come up with what they hope will be the next big breakthrough in the world of diabetes research. I have high hopes for their product, SmartInsulin, as I think it could completely change the life of a diabetic.

In my quest to find the best news aggregator, I came across RSS Bandit. I haven't used it yet, but it's written in C# and uses the .NET Framework so it must be pretty awesome.
