Eric Meyer encapsulates my feelings on standards based web design. It is a overly stated fact that designing non-compliant web sites drives me insane. I find designing standards based sites much easier to handle and much more logical to deal with (and thus highly appealing for my overwrought analytical side). Standards also equal a certain…

SVG
I was reading an article over at ZDNet (When standards don’t apply)… well, skimming it, really… when I saw them make mention of SVG as an alternative to Flash. I chuckled. As it is well known, I am a standards evangelist, and well, SVG is most certainly the standards-based alternative to Macromedia’s proprietary Flash. I…
Bidness
I talk to my business partner probably every other day. Invariably, there is something new I need to start work on (seeing as I’m the entire art dept., it’s my responsibility to create all mockups before we actually land the deal). And, invariably, there is talk of a bunch of new clients that look to…
Ugh
Hi. Just a quick note to explain why the site was spitting out error messages for the past few days. Basically, it’s called a table 28 error… caused by something becoming corrupt… long story… involves monkeys and mySQL. But everything’s fine now. I’m glad it only took my host… gee… three days to notice my…
Great Tracks Not on iTMS
I make iMixes on iTunes, but some songs I really want to put on there just aren’t available yet (and probably never will be). So, here are some of the bands I am really enjoying right now. Most have a few songs you can download. Black Black Ocean: Website | S!M! (mp3) Quant: Website |…
Greg gets political
Okay, I try to stay out of political arguements discussions, but I thought I’d explain the little “USA | J. KERRY” button on my sidebar. I’ve never considered myself a Democrat. Hell, I’ve always been more of a swing voter (and my dad must’ve contributed to the RNC, as my mother is always getting these…
Awesomeness
Okay, today is the awesome. Not just awesome… the awesome. Why, you may ask? Well, a multitude of reasons, really, but for now, let’s stick to one of them. In today’s visit from the faithful postal delivery technician (the one I was cursing a few days ago for nearly breaking my mailbox), I discovered a…
Reading List
I’ve been reading a lot more recently than I had in the past, well… ever. Well, perhaps reading is a strong word. I have an account at Audible, and I USE IT… a lot. They recently had a crazy sale where everything was 10 bucks. Even the $60 audio books. Nutty. So I stocked up.…
Image of the Day
Colin Powell doing “Y.M.C.A.” at the end of Asia’s largest security meeting, in Jakarta, Indonesia. Village People unavailable for comment.
Stop INDUCE
Well, Orrin Hatch, a man that, at one time, I thought was a decent senator (hell, he’s my senate representative), has added another item to the list of truly mind-bogglingly stupid legislation aimed at protecting the poor old entertainment industry from the big, bad rest of the world. Originally called INDUCE (and now renamed the…
