Blogging and all that Malarkey

(This one sneaked out while I was teaching in Cupertino) As a studio we work on a number of e-commerce projects each year.

I love my Nano, I want to keep it close, keep it safe. My Nano is so precious, I can’t bear to think of it getting scratched.

Malarkey: I’m trying to decide between an iPod and a nano. Do you have a 4Gb nano in stock? Apple Eddie: No way. Sorry man, they’re like, hot right now. We could be waiting like days for those.

I’m not sure if this has come up before or if indeed it is of any interest (after all, why would anyone want to hide CSS styles from Safari?). But if you’re still here, this is a new (to me) method.

I’m sorry to all my overseas friends (and possibly those of you under 30) who probably won’t have the faintest clue what I’m talking about, but the BBC Doctor Who web site last week announced the return of the Doctor’s once faithful dog, K9.

I love a good book and nothing helps me relax more than disappearing into a good crime or mystery novel. Mickey Spillane, Elmore Leonard, Colin Dexter, all great story tellers who keep you guessing right up until the last few pages.

A major brand name redesigning and implementing their web site with web standards can still be big news. When that brand belongs to one of the most influential sites of modern web design, the news is bigger.

My copy of Professional CSS arrived on my desk this morning and I was very proud to read chapter eight in which Ethan discusses stylesheet switching and Invasion of the Body Switchers.

With the launch of the Dutch after school club standards group Happy Clog and the proliferation of WaSP working groups, it seems that (maybe for warmth) standards geeks and designers are cuddling up.

One of the things which I love so much about southern France is colour, the way in which man-made colours are affected by the elements and in particular the strength of the sun.
