Web Standards
So what do you know about Web Standards? How important to you, in your design work are those standards?
Here’s an interesting article at Design by Fire.
It explains why you should care and what the standards will mean in the very close future.
The reasons just keep coming…
The reasons to NOT use Microsoft’s Internet just keep piling up. In the last few weeks they’ve issued at least 4 patches to critical vulnerabilities with their OS and tightly integrated web browser Internet Explorer.
The vulnerabilities can now be “injected” from web pages…that’s scary folks. Everyone knows not to click on e-mail attachments that have come from unknown sources, but now you can be redirected to an infected web site and these keystroke stealing trojans can be downloaded to your computer without you even knowing about it.

MLB All-Star teams…
Well, the teams have been selected, except for the Final Vote where the internet community has a say in the last roster spot.
What are your feelings about the lineup possibilities, who shouldn’t have made it, and who got left off.
The Beltran situation blows my mind, but I don’t know that there is an easy solution.
And what about the outfield of 500+ HR hitters…amazing!
Thank you for our freedom!
In my opinion, we Americans don’t realize just how good we have it so today, please just take a minute and be thankful for living in the greatest country in the world…and if you don’t think that’s true–get the hell out!
Firefox 0.9 released
The newest version of the best browser out there, in my opinion.
Firefox 0.9 is released to the public.
Read a review here.
Seriously folks, give this one a try. You’ll leave the buggy, standards non-compliant Internet Exploder in the dust.
NBA Finals…
So, all you Laker lovers or anyone not giving the Pistons a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the title, did Game #1 change your mind?
Don’t underestimate the East! That “boring” brand of basketball is what shut you down…it’s called DEFENSE.
Now, I know you’ve never seen anything quite like it before. Hell, the Dallas Mavericks have no idea what it is or how to spell it. And Mark Cuban can’t even buy it, it’s that special.
The Lakers may still win, but you gotta give the Pistons and Larry Brown props for not folding under the overwhelming odds.
Thanks Ronny…
As you know, Ronald Reagan passed away a few days ago. Whether you think he did a good job as President or not, you have to admit he was a great American. He embodied the American spirit, in my opinion.
RIP, Mr. Reagan.
So much has happened since my last post…
Wow…so much has happened in the world since my last post:
– Nick Berg : absolutely sickening, but these are the people we are dealing with. Then again, I’m not very proud of our guys humiliating the Iraqi prisoners either. War is just an ugly SOB.
– NBA playoffs : Go Minnesota in the West and Indiana in the East!
– Gas prices : Wow! As an American, I know I have it good so I’m not going to get all pompous and whiny BUT – someone is making a bundle off me…would it kill you guys (Chevron) to fill the damn receipt dispenser with paper? For crying out loud!!
– Friends and Frasier : man, I’m missing those shows already too! Thank goodness for syndication!
– Shrek 2 : excellent flick!
Let’s have some discussions…
One of many…
Earlier tonight was the memorial service for Pat Tillman. For those who don’t know, Pat Tillman played football in the NFL and voluntarily gave it up to join the military. He died in action a little over a week ago, fighting for what he thought was right and for the country he loved.
Although Pat Tillman was an extraordinary man, it allows us to put a face to the numerous US soldiers who have lost their lives fighting for us. So, to Pat, and to all the men and women who have given their lives, we say thank you so very much for your sacrifices and bravery.
God bless America!
More Eric Meyer…
If you enjoyed the book Eric Meyer On CSS, I’ve got GREAT news:
More Eric Meyer On CSS is shipping now! I can hardly wait to see what projects Eric has in store for this book.
If you have some CSS skills and are looking for cool ways to improve and apply them, I would highly recommend Eric’s books. However, they really aren’t intended for those just getting started with Cascading Style Sheets.
