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.

FOUC’n A!
December 24th, 2001 · 2 Comments
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 [...]

white as a sheet

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 [...]

Greg and I had decided to try our hand at doing some exquisite corpses on the side to fill our creative need. This is the first result. It will get archived here as well, as soon as I get around to finishing up some changes I wanted to make to the site.
When I finally got [...]

ye of little faith

I got an email from Dan this morning, wherein it seemed he was having a conversation with Tim about HTML, XHTML, CSS, and tableless sites. Tim was under the impression that sites utilizing valid markup, and adhering to the specifications, would wind up featureless, and devoid of creativity (I’m paraphrasing). I believe he also pointed [...]

Congrats to Heather and Phineas for the concept, and design respectively, and also to the rest of the cast. It’s a team effort. Now, let’s go after [...]

Jim’s also a Tennis Pro
December 20th, 2001 · No Comments
Jim’s been doing this for some time. I could have sworn I’d linked to it before, but I couldn’t find it. So here you have it. There are some excellent matches. They have more of a fine art feel compared to the original, which has more of a graphic design feel. Then again, I could [...]

All my exs live in Texas
December 18th, 2001 · 2 Comments
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.

WaSP goes on hiatus
December 14th, 2001 · 2 Comments
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 [...]
