Great math solutions

I was just perusing the internet and stumbled upon a couple really funny (but geeky) math problems. I guess it is really the solutions to the problems that make them funny. Initially, they may both seem quite ditsy, but really both of the solutions show a perspective on each problem that I had never noticed or realized. Personally, I think I like the latter one better because it has to do with language deficits. The professor should have requested the appropriate value of x instead of just asking to “find x.” Further proof that slight semantic inaccuracies can make all the difference!

Icons #3

Well, I have tried again on the icons, and I think this time they are finally done. Well, the new ones are already on the right-side menu, and here are the old ones:

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Thunderbird

Mozilla Sunbird

The old ones didn’t have any theme, and they were different in quirky little ways, so I believe that these one are vastly improved. What do all of you think?

New buttons in the sidebar

I’ve been diligently working on new button-style links for all the tools that I recommend and promote here in the Z-Issue. However, I still don’t think that I have them quite right. Granted, they’re way better than they were before, but I think they still need some minor adjustments before I will be happy with them. Considering I’m using a huge monitor at 1920×1200 resolution, the buttons that I think look normally sized end up looking enormous to the average user. Therefore, my first attempts were horridly off with regard to dimensions. For now, these will have to work until I can get around to making some nicer looking ones.

Oh yeah, and don’t worry about the links to Adobe Reader and that great new FLV player; they’ll be on the way soon too. 🙂 See, it’s wonderful things like these buttons and the anticipation of new ones that keep you coming back to read the Z-Issue. 😉
