Haiku, Gmail, and Web Standards
• June 23, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Technology • 3 comments
Haiku Does anyone here know what “Haiku” is (…and no, I’m not talking about a 17 syllable Japanese poem)? Haiku is the brand-new name for an open source project that was formerly called “OpenBeOS”. How many here know what OpenBeOS is? OpenBeOS is a project whose goal is to re-create, from scratch, an open source [...]
Suggesting Improvements to Blockbuster
• April 1, 2004 • Creating Websites • 3 comments
I downloaded Macromedia Central today. I was browsing the Macromedia website when I came across it, and I thought it looked interesting. One of the features that they have is a listing of movies playing, and movie times in your area. “That’s awfully useful”, I thought, “but it would be better for me if this [...]
Bye, Bye, BuyMusic.com
• March 29, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites • No comments
Do you guys happen to remember BuyMusic.com and all of the fuss from the web standards community this past summer? Well, according to the guys over at As the Apple Turns, it appears that the BuyMusic.com experiment was a complete and utter failure. Are we suprised? We think not. I suppose it was a bad [...]
Lockergnome Regresses
• March 11, 2004 • Creating Websites • 1 comments
I was going to write something up about the problem I have with Lockergnome regressing back to table-based layouts recently, but the I came across this, and although I would have written something completely different, this still sums it all up quite nicely.
One DIV To Size Them All…
• January 8, 2004 • Creating Websites, Just for Fun • No comments
I thought this was clever… Three DIVs for the design-gods, painting on Macs, Seven for the usability-lords in their websites of grey, Nine for Windoze geeks doomed to debug, One for the Zeldman on his orange page, In the land of New York where the pundits cry. One DIV to size them all, One DIV [...]
Support the Standards or the Browser?
• January 6, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites • 7 comments
Dave Shea recently asked, Support the standards and nothing but the standards, regardless of whether or not browsers get them right? – or – Support what standards are available given today’s browser support, and kludge together markup/script/CSS hacks to overcome deficiencies in implementations? I am all-for the extensive use of web standards. Anyone who’s talked [...]
LIR And Bug Fixes for IE5/Win
• December 9, 2003 • Browsers, Creating Websites • No comments
Internet Explorer Sucks Most real web designers already know this. Most who don’t are generally either amateurs or are way, way behind the times. You’d think that with all of the money, power, and research and development resources Microsoft has, that they could produce a web browser better than crap. Apparently I’m mistaken.

“A Second Voice”
• December 4, 2003 • Creating Websites • No comments
I stumbled across Mezzoblue’s “A Second Voice” today. I remember coming across it before, near the end of summer, but I was pressed for time and didn’t get through them. A few days later, I forgot about them. I came across them again this morning, and actually read through each of the three articles. Fantastic! [...]
