I think I’m somewhat of a rarity in the world of web developers – I actively use and certainly approve of CSS hacks to target and fix certain browsers. Of course, I don’t condone their use unless it is absolutely necessary, and in most cases good, standards compliant CSS should alleviate most issues before they [...]
I have been in online journalism for several years now, surely not that long compared to a lot of the veterans I know, but enough to realize a few observations about the industry. I love journalism, and can’t imagine doing much else anymore, and I solidly believe that the place to be is not in [...]
This is in response to Kent Newsome’s request for inspiration for his feed reading list (his ’swivel feeds’ experiment). As you can imagine, most of my 150 or so feeds I read regularly (there are more that I only glance at now and then) are focused on mobile technology, but there are still some that [...]
Greg Hughes writes about a great feature in Google where you can actually ask it what time it is in a certain place in natural language and get a response. This is cool, and something I’m sure I’ll be making big use of when traveling. Google keeps amazing me more every day.

Maybe this is old news, but I just realized that I can switch between tabs in Firefox by holding down the middle-click (press on the scroll wheel) and clicking either the left or right mouse button. Genius…
Jakob Nielsen has written a great list of the Top Ten Design Mistakes people make on weblogs. If you have your own blog, definitely give it a read.
I think my biggest rule breaker is the fact that I don’t have an about me page. I have never really though about this, but now that I [...]
D’Arcy notes that Blackboard and WebCT are merging. I too, am a little worried about this.
A university that I contract for is nearing the final stages of upgrading our current WebCT CE system to WebCT Vista. I am very impressed with Vista so far, and I think that the competition between BB and WebCT for [...]
