Treo 600 Now Available

(Click for alarger image)
Looking for ideas of what to get me for Christmas? Well, here it is: the new Handspring Treo 600. Maybe several of you could go in together?
This is the best palm/phone combination that has been released to date. It’s smaller than all the rest, it has Palm OS 5.0 (with [...]

Blogging for America

Guess what everyone? Georgie Bush has a blog site! You can view it here.
No commenting allowed on that blog though. Darn! If you so desire to do so (or to read other people’s responses on this whacked out creation) go here.

Indecent AOL Commercial

Who’s seen the new AOL commercial for their built-in popup blocker? It starts out with a woman in a swimming pool with a bikini on. She swims to one end of the pool where there is a set of stairs coming out of the water. She begins to climb out of the pool, but just [...]

New Forum for I-LEAD Participants

I’ve added a forum to the site so that I-LEAD 2003 Session II participants can meet to discuss ideas, current events, or anything else that floats your boat. The forum has been located at ilead.joeyday.com (my I-LEAD photo album has moved to another location — it’s still on the menu to the left).
I set this [...]

Here’s the article: “Caffeinate Your Hypertext“.
The article explains (very matter-of-factly) that hypertext and HTML aren’t the same thing. Hypertext is simply a text document that [...]

Relative Links for Dummies

I’m feeling extremely stupid right about now. Here I am coding away in strict XHTML, and I just learned how relative links work.
Now, I sortof understood how relative links worked before, but I never used them because I never saw the usefulness of them. Relative links are meant to make it easier to [...]

Wiki Anyone?

In case you haven’t noticed yet, Stu’s got a nice forum set up. While he’s fiddling with MT and his new forum, I’m trying hard to figure out how to install a Wiki on my site.
Some of you may be asking yourselves, “What the heck is a Wiki?” Well, a wiki is a site where [...]

Can You Say, “Wow”?

I found a great page that highlights the raw power of CSS. It’s called the CSS Zen Garden. At first glance, the site may seem a little pointless. It only has one page, and the few links that exist on the page all seem to point to other sites. I was tempted to leave the [...]
