So, I have a table on a page. I'd like to make it so that there's no space above or below the table... it should just start at the edge of the browser at the top and bottom. How do I do that? Your answer will earn my undying gratitude! And maybe a grilled cheese sandwich.

Holy crap! I actually updated The Bon Vivant of Brooklyn!

Check it out for some HOT FOOD PORN ACTION.

You may or may not have heard of the "One Laptop Per Child" initiative - also known as the "$100 laptop" project (though it turns out that it actually costs $199 to make one).

I very strongly believe in this project. I'm donating to it this year, one of several donations I'm making for tax purposes. But even if I weren't getting a tax break on it, I would do it. The laptop has completely open software on it. It has a static copy of Wikipedia on it. It's powered by a hand crank and has incredibly long range WiFi. Its operating system is designed specifically for children as an innovative learning environment. Several of these laptops over a very wide area can form a mesh network and actually bring the Internet to the most remote regions of the world. It's tough, water resistant, and ideally ergonomically designed for a child.

It's a relatively small amount of money, but the impact that just one or two of these machines could make to a village in a third world nation is enormous. The educational value of the information in Wikipedia alone could change so many lives for the better.

Please consider making a donation of your own for this project. It's not something I normally would mention in my blog like this, but as I said, I think this could really improve a lot of people's lives.
