If you’re in to web design, but have never read any articles over at A List Apart, I highly recommend that you scoot your butt over there and start readin’.
The site has been under construction for over a month and I’ve really missed reading fresh content there. Now that their new layout is up, they [...]

Starting on November 24, 2003, the FCC will require cellular phone companies to allow their users to switch carriers and keep their phone number. So, for instance, if you aren’t happy with T-Mobile you can switch to AT&T or Sprint without the inconvenience of losing your phone number.

I actually saw one of these over the weekend. The new $20 bill is multi-colored. Released on October 9, 2003, the new bills are still mostly trademark green, but now include blue and peach colored areas. As they continue to release the other bills, they will each have their own unique color [...]

Eolas is owned and operated by one man, Michael Doyle, who patented the concept of plug-ins back in 1994. Microsoft will probably put this change [...]

You may have noticed over the past week that I added the trackback ping URI to some of the newest entries. It wouldn’t have really done you much good to ping those though, because I didn’t have anything working yet. Now I’ve actually taken the time to implement trackback pings. They should be fully operational [...]

For some reason, I’ve really been tuning into commercials lately…
Have you seen the new Honda commercial? This guy is walking along the beach staring at all the ladies in bikinis (the women are kindof blurred out so the guy is the main focus). As he’s walking along he’s not paying attention to where he’s going, [...]

I have the most anal-retentive professor in my Survey of Jazz class. We had an exam today and he had so many stupid rules. Rule number one was no talking, which is fine except that he talked through the entire exam just explaining (and repeating) all of his asinine rules.
