If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…
Posted under How I See It, Work by Mike
For those who have kids or are kids at heart, you all know this book very well. My kids’ loved it along with “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” and the follow up “If You Give a Pig a Pancake.”
Something about animals and food always draws our attention, why is that?
The title of this post came to me as I was pondering the last couple of days. Too much idle time is a dangerous thing, just ask my wife.
Work is slow because of the company takeover and there just isn’t enough to do. So being the “geeky” tech that likes to tinker with things, I decided I’d screw around with my blog site.
The last time I did that back in December; I blew up the whole thing. You do one thing wrong and it sometimes just spirals out of control.
Welcome to my world.
Back to the analogy with the book. In the story the mouse is given a cookie then he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, he’ll probably ask you for a straw; and then so on and so on.
Give a “teckie” a blog site and he’ll want to change the format. Then he’ll want to change widgets. Then he’ll ask for more plug-ins.
So, as you see I’ve got a new site up and running.
So far….
Hey I like the new digs! I do the same thing. I cant see what I’m writing in your comment box. Maybe its me.
Oscar’s last blog post..It’s All Good
Oscar – Thanks for the heads up. Again, this is why I have way too much time on my hands playing around with CSS color codes. White on white doesn’t work well…
It could be worse. You could be looking at bad porn.

I like your new template.
I read those books to Blue at the dentist office yesterday by the way
movin’’s last blog post..Some of the best places I’ve been
Joe – Very creative. Don’t think it will sell as a kids book though…
Movin – Thanks, now if I could stop screwing around with it…
I like the new look! Glad to see that the Gremlins have been chased away. Hopefully they’ll leave my place alone too!

Great layout! “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” is a super book! (:
Debbie - Thanks. Yeah I love the book…
Matt - Backing up has become my biggest rule. Charlie’s Angels rule…
WeaselMomma - Thank you…
NukeDad - Yeah, for now. If I can only not do something stupid I should be alright…
Nice new look, but your feed isn’t working anymore. At least I can’t get it in google reader right now.
KT’s last blog post..First, I’d like to thank all the little people….
I’m glad to know that when I was trying to post about your cute dog the other day that the not being able to see what I was typing was not my computer’s fault. I had just had a beer or two, but it made me feel like I had been into more than that. Seriously. I would have left the comment, but I didn’t trust that it would ever show up. And I didn’t like the proofing it while I had the text highlighted. Too many things for me to screw up and embarrass myself with.
Like the new look. I’ve been thinking about “pinking up” my blog for Valentine’s Day.
Anne in SC’s last blog post..I think I’m Valuable
This sounds a lot like me. I would love to mess with my site again, but we’ve been busy at work, so I’ve not done much.
When I have downtime though… And, like you mentioned, inevitably I screw-up something in the process.
Like the new pictures in your header!
RC – Rambling Along…’s last blog post..Exposing myself
I like the new look!
My middle child once wrote a take-off on that book, entitled “If You Give A Turtle Tortellini” because that was her favorite food at the time.
Cocotte’s last blog post..A Musical Journey
The new look is great. If it one thing us geeks know how to do is tinker until it breaks. Backups don’t hurt
