Much to my chagrin, my blog has never really looked correct on my iPhone. Most websites that don’t have a mobile version never really do look correct on mobile devices, so…

Really though, I’ve never considered mobile versions for the websites I work on and run. Until smartphones took off, the consideration was never really there for me… Well, they’ve taken off.

Thus, my quest to make my blog look correct on at least the iPhone has been completed. I’ve installed a nice new plugin to my blog that’ll make it look slick on the iPhone, and supposedly it’ll look correct on other mobile devices as well.

I’ve taken a test drive of the plugin and success. It looks good. I suggest for you to go take a look in your iPhone as well.

Oh, and let’s not forget an update on my busted liver, err knee. It’s been slowly getting better. I’ve got more range and motion today than any time since the injury, and I’m actually a bit more confident that there’s no permanent damage, or damage that will eventually need to be surgically repaired. I have an Indoor Soccer game this Thursday, so we’ll see how it feels during that game, afterwards, and that night as well. I think it’ll be alright, though.

My liver, my liver!

Alright, I didn’t really bust up my liver. But I just think it’s funny to cite your liver as being injured when you’ve messed something else up.

So we came in third place in flag football! It was totally awesome, I tell you what. We won our first game on Wednesday evening, 12-10. I didn’t see much time on the field due to substitution issues, but the two games I played yesterday, I was rotating on and off frequently. We won the first last night and lost the second. I was unable to make the third game, which is the one we won to take third place.

Unfortunately for me, I managed to damage my left knee in the second game last night. I was diving for someone’s flags (and unable to get them), and I landed on a small “grass hill” on my left knee. I went to stand up and my leg wouldn’t support my weight. After a couple minutes I was able to start walking again, then eventually I could jog and run around again.

When I woke up this morning, my leg was as stiff as possible. I had little to no movement in the joint and fell a couple times. As the morning progressed I got a little movement back, but couldn’t lift it up much while standing. I continued exercising it and iced it during a long developers meeting here at work, and now it feels mostly back to normal, save for the big bump on my knee and some lingering movement issues.

I really hope I didn’t totally mess it up. Grr! If I can’t use my knee, I can’t continue working out, losing weight and getting into better shape.

So yeah, I felt awesome yesterday after my marathon day. I played in the two flag football games and played Indoor Soccer despite my knee injury. Felt great after all of that, I was really psyched up. I even got pulled over for going 85 in a 65 on the way home. I figured I was in for a ticket, but the highway officer let me off with a warning to just slow down.

How did I avoid a ticket? Because I’m nice, courteous and I respect police officers. He wasn’t a mean guy and I just complied with everything he asked, since he was in control of the situation. Nice guy. I slowed down the rest of the way. I didn’t mean to go 85, I was actually going 75 before I lost track of my speed. Grr.

Yesterday was fun, but the knee injury wasn’t necessary.
