Zawinul Syndicate

On Joe Zawinul concert as a part of Tri-C 25th Anniversary Jazz Festival: one word - magnificent. As a group - they are simply unbelievable; I am waiting for the CD to come out, I want to buy it (or illegally download, depending upon my employment situation at the moment). They are called Zawinul Syndicate (the website lists a different drummer, though).
Linley Marthe (bass) is, probably, the most unique musician I ever heard live or recorded (yes, including Jako).
Keyboards didn't sound all that good, however; I am tempted to blame the sound operator, or the general state of Joe's overwired and duct-taped gear, rather than the fact that he is 72, and, by all human means, could be losing it...
I wonder, what state of mind I will be in 30 years. Hope I will not make it that far...

Things I Do Not Get

Amongst many things, and in no particular order: A Web-standard-compliant box model. Why the default size of the box is determined by it's contents, and why the padding should be added to the overall dimensions. The Internet Explorer's model makes more sense (blasphemy). It does. Another CSS thing which puzzles me: why I can float things right and left, but not to the center? Right and left here are in fact top-right and top-left, but I sooo could use bottom-right and bottom-left positions as well... And why decided that vertical margins should collapse? Not a very important one, but still... really, why?
