UT Office of Public Affairs: Seismic Images Show Dinosaur-Killing Meteor Made Bigger Splash.

I updated my wife's website over the weekend --

Cynthia Kessinger.

> I used Apple's iWeb application. As an admitted Apple fanboy, I've wanted to test iWeb for a couple of years.

> My review: it's pretty nifty for stitching together a pretty web site with linked pages and lots of graphics. It would have taken me 3-4 times longer to cobble together an ugly site and add the pictures if I had coded it by hand. Also, it generates RSS feeds!

> The downside: it's slooooooow loading. Really slow. Unless I find a way to strip out the lead, I'll keep doing this site the old-fashioned way.
