It Must LOOK the Same!

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…

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…

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

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…
