I’ve stripped off all my CSS for the day (and maybe a few more days). Why? It’s the first annual CSS Naked Day. Several of my favorite blogs have gone naked as well, including Adactio and Clagnut. There’s also a mention on The Web Standards Project.
The point is to expose the raw HTML of your [...]

I’ve replaced the header images both on this blog and on my Foundation blog. I had to finagle a half-transparent box just to make the text readable on both sites, but I don’t think it looks half bad (note that I haven’t looked at it in IE yet). One down side is it breaks when [...]

ContentWatch has redesigned its website. The design is similar to their last one with some nice graphical improvements. The real reason I’m writing this is to point out what’s under the hood. For the first time, ContentWatch’s website is running on strict XHTML using CSS for both design and layout.
At the time of this writing [...]

Microsoft has announced the official name of the Longhorn code-name project: Windows Vista.
One of the more exciting announcements (imho) is that six new fonts will ship with the OS. Assuming Vista gains widespread market-share, these will be the first new fonts in a long time to be acceptable for use on the web.
You can already [...]

I’ve been thinking for a long time about how nice it would be to have my own private wiki for notetaking and general thought collection. I’d want to be able to access it offline (for taking notes in classes where I don’t have a wireless connection) and I wouldn’t want anyone besides me to have [...]

A friend of mine contacted me over IM with a CSS question today. Through the course of the conversation, he introduced me to an insteresting resource: “pastebin”:http://www.pastebin.com.
The premise is simple. Need help troubleshooting a piece of code? Maybe you’ve been talking to a friend over IM or IRC and they want to see what you’re [...]

Well, smack me up the side of my head with a rubber tuna fish. Jordan over at swirlee.org has found what I think may be “the best way to keep track of a wish list”:http://www.swirlee.org/2005/01/06/a-delicious-wish-list/ using del.icio.us. It’s so devilishly simple I’m not sure why hundreds of people haven’t done it before.

bq. By the way, how did you get that InterBlog thinger on your sidebar?
That’s a good question. It’s actually kinda funny, since right now my “Avocation” blog is powered by WordPress and my “Foundation” blog is still running on Movable Type. They refer to each other with what appear [...]

When I first started using “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org I decided the fastest way to learn the system was to start from scratch building my own templates, rather than relying on their prebuilt ones (which are all boring, anyway). Consequently, I was very late to adopt some of the more useful features. It took me a while [...]

I always thought it would be fun to administrate a high-traffic website. Now that I have one, I’m not so sure anymore.
