If you're using Plurk, you may not want to see your karma score. It can be annoying to watch it yo-yo. Today, the folks at Plurk made it possible to change the look of some things on your page via CSS. So I found the places to change the color of the karma score. If you change the color to the same color as the background of the box, it will essentially disappear. Here's the code; you'll have to change the color to whatever is appropriate for your style. (So, for example, if yours is black, it would be color: #000000; )
#dash-stats span.karma_hover { color: #A35BAE; }
#dash-stats span#karma.karma_yellow { color: #A35BAE; }
#dash-stats h3+a.link_arrow { color: #A35BAE; }

Thoughts on Seattle so far:
* Discovery Park. We spent a large portion of Monday there. It was very pretty, we walked many miles and enjoyed the beach along Puget Sound. It reminded me of Northern Michigan, to be honest. Without the mountains in the background, of course, but the terrain and vegetation were largely indistinguishable from upstate. (More ferns, different pines.)
* The locks and salmon ladder. Goofy, but amusing. We saw some great big boats go through the locks, which thrills my inner 3 year old.
* Seattle drivers. Already seen one hit a cyclist. No stop lines at intersections so people apparently just pull out into traffic randomly. Unimpressed.
* Seattle pedestrians. They outdo U-M students in terms of strolling out ...
