Spread Thin Across the Internet

Jeffrey Zeldman wrote about content outsourcing and the vanishing personal site, which is exactly the direction I was heading with Reconsidering Blogging. I would have written more there, but it felt tough enough to just accomplish that much.

While I love all these wonderful social sites like Flickr, Tumblr, Twitter and various other clever services that [...]

CSS Naked Day

Today is CSS Naked Day. The idea is simple: strip all CSS from your site for a day. If your site doesn’t degrade gracefully, shame on you!

It may not be very pretty to look at (except in a 1995 kind of way), but my site is still fully readable. I didn’t make this Wordpress theme [...]

Web Sites as Graphs

This is pretty cool — a Java applet that renders a HTML page as a graph, where each circle represents a HTML tag. The black one is the root HTML tag. I think the grey “dandelion” cluster is what I have in my <head> tag. All I’m missing is a tooltip on nodes so [...]

Kestrel Outline

Wow, I got kinda serious here. Normally I’d just sit down and crank out some XHTML and CSS, but I decided to make an outline mockup in Photoshop for Kestrel. This image took about ten minutes to do; actually writing a basic CSS scaffold for this layout would have taken five minutes.

A New Hope

Horrible clusterfuck

I don’t support Netscape, Firefox or any other webbrowsers since I believe that there should be one HTML standard and not a dozen. Pixels on the web

Ahahahahahahahaha!

Way to not understand what a web standard is, buddy.

Visited

Why on earth didn’t I think of this myself? It’s so simple to do, yet incredibly elegant. Here’s what:

That’s the list of recent del.icio.us links over at Lisa McMillan’s site. When I first visited I wondered why those two links had marked checkboxes, and when I realized they were links I had visited earlier I [...]

The annual redesign

Yup, new layout is live, but only on the front page as of right now. But I’m not quite sure if I’ll use it — there’s something that’s not quite right about it, and I was really fond of the last one. I’ll work some more on it and see if I can take the [...]

Like, switch!

Yup. Took me all of fifteen minutes to make a quick PHP hack that points you to different style sheets. It’s in the bottom part of the sidebar. Currently only two styles available, but I’ll make more, you can count on that… I’m already getting tired of Warranty Void, the latest one.

I always pick strange [...]
