Dave’s post today is a true classic. Classic rock songs performed by people you can’t picture singing them. My favourites are the Pat Boone ones. It’s funny as all get out. The humour here is boundless.

Here I go again, thinking I’ve mentioned something and finding out I haven’t. Rob at bluerobot has been troubleshooting, and actually putting a name to, a phenomenon I had been dismissing. I’ve been experiencing the FOUC, as Rob calls it, for a little while now at certain sites but hadn’t put the pieces together as [...]

I would just like to point out that Tim has redesigned the look of his homepage (not that there was anything wrong with the last one), and he’s also working on getting them to validate. Must have had something to do with the winter solstice. It looks great, but it’s made my earlier post sort [...]

Strange and vivid dreams had me captivated all night long. It was a vast parade of ex-girlfriends, past friends, and odd reconstructions that left me in a deep melancholy. I have enough of that when I’m awake lately, I don’t need it when I’m trying to sleep.

The ongoing MeFi discussion regarding the WaSP’s decision to take a leave of absence.
My feeling is that the argument put forth by designers who are against the WaSP’s work regarding standards, seems to be about some percieved pontificating. They outright reject the ideas recommended by the WaSP for what seems to be no other reason [...]
