I’ve Got 99 Problems
. . . and I’m not impressed. Yesterday was Grey Tuesday for a lot of the blogosphere, and like many of you I downloaded and listened to the Grey Album. For those not in the know, a popular dj mixed the vocals from Jay-Z’s "The Black Album" with The Beatles’ "The White Album." Now, unsurprisingly, [...]
New NSA site
Wow. I’m so underwhelmed that I can barely type. The National Security Agency has updated their entire website. I wish I had the energy to give it a full critique, but it’s just terrible. Let’s just go over the low points: They’ve got a useless and ugly splash page done in Flash that sits and [...]
And now for something completely different
Well, that’s enough serious commentary for the time being. Onwards and downwards! Here are a few good reasons to vote for edwards. On the subject of politics, don’t forget to get your campaign merchandise. If you’re excited to see Mel Gibson‘s new movie (and after seeing him play Hamlet, the idea of Mel telling the [...]
Self Fulfilling Accusations
Here are a few things about life that everyone should probably know: If you accuse your co-worker of bad-mouthing you, and it wasn’t true before, it probably will be in the future. If you accuse your co-worker of not wanting to work on a project with you, and it wasn’t true before, they probably won’t [...]

What’s frustrating about this is that I like designing sites that work equally well in all browsers. And I think that Opera is [...]
What being related means on the web
You know, I always said that Java was a dead-end technology. And I was right. But in the meantime, check out the cool TouchGraph GoogleBrowser. Put a URL in the input field, hit "graph it" and it’ll open a big popup window (which I know will make some of you very happy) with a java [...]
Notes from all over
Well, if you’ve come to this site on a three day weekend, it’s pretty clear you’re bored. But fear not: I’ve assembled some not-at-all-related links to keep you satisfied! Read on. Pretty is better Don Norman of the Nielsen Norman Group has a new book out called Emotional Design. The basic message is that while [...]
Mozilla Firefox now out
In case you’re spending the day in a hole, I should let you know that Mozilla Firebird has been renamed Firefox and is out with a new stable version. For the nervous I should point out that Firefox is still a beta version (0.8), but it’s been behaving itself for me. Now that you’ve got [...]
Following in daddy’s footsteps
I can’t say that I mind the idea of my son becoming a web developer, and I certainly can’t criticize the aesthetics of his page. Heck, it’s far prettier than this place. But I am a little disappointed that Jared chose Flash for his site. It’s nice, don’t get me wrong. But it’s got problems. [...]
