Last night I picked up a copies of Eric Meyer on CSS and Designing with Web Standards, the definitive books on XHTML/CSS design from two leading web visionaries. After looking over the books, I realized that there wasn’t much in them that I hadn’t read on their websites, but I bought them anyway. Why? Oh, [...]

Stylesheets are the new black
After hearing Chad’s crowing, I was looking over the new MX 2004 stuff at Macromedia and I have to say I’m pretty excited. CSS design is my techo-religion of the month, and I’m glad to see that Dreamweaver is going to support it. I’ve been a fan of Macromedia for a while, and was very [...]
Cynthia’s great, but a shark would be helpful
I love Cynthia, I really do, and yes she’s quite a looker, but somehow there’s a part of me that really wants JAWS. If you care about accessibility, you should too. And I know what you’re thinking. Where am I gonna get nine hundred bucks to drop on software that I don’t need? Good point. [...]
Some people still haven’t found google.

Anil’s a genius
Wow. I always hated diamonds once I learned that they were nothing more than payment for a woman’s virginity, but this is a whole handful of nails in the coffin of any diamond purchase I ever imagined. No really, go read.
A public apology
So yesterday, when I was in the midst of my CSS-related rage (since fixed), I was cursing Ben and Mena in ways that would make sailors blush. And as a guy who works with sailors, trust me, I know. But it was me, all me, that messed this up. So I offer this very public [...]
Is this a Firebird Problem or an MT problem?
UPDATE: D’oh. This blog is quickly becoming the “continuing story of a webgeek gone to the dogs…”. The problem, believe it or not is caused by a moose. A floppy moose. It seems that my user-Content.css file thinks that some of the MT images are ads. Clearing out the ad-blocking stuff has MT working just [...]
