We’re sorry, CSS will return tomorrow. See Web Standards Naked Day (SFW) for more info.

Inspired by a forward-thinking greasemonkey script, may I present the nomify bookmarklet. (mouse-click or press a key to return to your boring page).

WDHV 101.7 is a little FM station in Trenton that plays some great pre-70′s classic country. The other day I caught the tail end of “Talk Back Trembling Lips” from 1963 and the rhythm section and reverb filled the van so nicely–it made my morning. They do slip in later stuff and even up to [...]

Cost = 1 stamp. I’ll see how it goes..

According to the latest news at least.

Since reliable info doesn’t seem to be out there, this Javascript detects if a pop-up window was blocked at least by IE6/XPsp2′s built-in blocker, FF or Opera 8. var popWin; // global for easy reference later function pop(url, name, features, replace) { popWin = open(url, name, features, replace); if (popWin == null) { // nice [...]

This game is all about scale. Think “The Sims” from the molecular level to the galactic with everything in between. At least watch long enough to see your animal doin’ it (soft jazz with sax helps set the mood). As a programmer, this thing makes my greatest accomplishments feel like Pong.

Update: oops, it’ll be 4 movies instead of the series. Billy might as well hold a press conference to announce we’re all jive suckers. Straight from the man (via Dana): …they’re doing 26 new episodes of “Futurama” for TV… More reasons why this show had to come back.

Kathleen told me a scarran e-mailed her on MySpace, but he didn’t cover Innocence Mission songs. I’m lucky because chicks love heat glands.

I’ve been hearing great things about source control for awhile so I dug in and installed Subversion using this new tutorial. While you can interact with the svn server from the command-line, the TortoiseSVN Windows shell extension makes managing imports, updates and commits as simple as a right click. My first project contains all the [...]

I’m really digging this agile software development idea, which boils down to: Create the user interface. Build the code to power it. Without a UI, you just have a bunch of developers and stakeholders, each having a vague notion of what the app will do and look like, and who it will serve. This leads [...]

I was telling a friend about the Free Network Project the other day, which I’d read about a few years ago. I still haven’t tried it, but after refreshing my knowledge on it, here’s a little overview. A primer “Freenet” is basically a completely decentralized and anonymous peer-to-peer internet. It has files, websites, hyperlinks, etc. [...]

Google, what is the answer to life, the universe, and everything? What about half that?

Too bizarre be real.. is it? Only a member of the Association of International Glaucoma Societies could really tell us. The jaw-droppingly absurd “Glaucoma Hymn” background music, Flash graphic of Earth spinning out of control, and bobbing heads of…some random businessmen? helped put this one on Web Pages That Suck’s 2005 worst-of list.

I’m totally spoiled having a big back room dedicated to making and recording music, but sometimes you can still dream. Check out this amazing pic of the “Mothership”[1] in Sweden’s Gula Studion. Gula was built as a sister studio to the perhaps more famous Tambourine Studios, birthplace of most Cardigans and Eggstone albums. More than [...]

Technical Preview 2 came close, but the latest nightly build is on the money! This site has an entire history of Opera browsers testing Acid2. Note that IE7′s rendering is close to that of 2001′s Opera 6.

Whenever you’re on a page with an ISBN in the URL, like Amazon or some other bookish site, activate ACL to pop-up a search for that book within the Alachua County Library Catalog. This was generated with the LibraryLookup Project‘s Bookmarklet builder, which can build a similar bookmarklet for any library using one of 16 [...]

Wednesday morning I came down with a cold/virus/something and for three days my temperature bounced between 97 and over 100. Wed evening I had terrible abdominal pain and was paranoid it was some sort of appendicitis or something so we spent two hours at the Shands emergency clinic until I just couldn’t stand to sit [...]
