“Although Cascading Style Sheets Level 1, has been only partially implemented by browser vendors, the W3C is moving forward with development. The Cascading Style Sheets and Formatting Properties Working Group of the W3C has published the next level of style-sheet specification called, logically enough, Cascading Style Sheets level 2 in May 1998. Illogically enough, both Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer attempt to support some of the CSS2 features, even though they do not completely support all CSS1 features yet. This is an overview of the goodies found in CSS2, of which there are many. Some of them already have an established status, but some are quite undiscovered although they have become more interesting since the release of Netscape 6.”

“Some tests of CSS2 selectors, spurred on by the CSS2 description of Babette van Hardeveld, one of my colleagues. If you want to really see something happening, view these pages with Netscape 6, Opera 5 or Explorer 5 on Mac. Explorer 5 on Windows is virtually worthless.”

“Incredible conversation on the phone betweek Mikey who runs the radio morning show on 97.1 in Dallas, TX and one of his bosses who is in charge of advertising. The topic was that a radio broadcast from Mexico for the show was cancelled because Mikey’s boss was going to Mexico instead to mingle with some of the clients who pay big bucks for advertising.”

“iastandards.org was created as a center for awareness, coordination, and focusing of the efforts of members of the Information Architecture community interested in the development of open standards for information architecture and related aspects of web development. Topics to be explored include notations, processes, and tools to support the increasingly complex work of the profession.”

“‘I wake up to the radio, eat breakfast to the TV, drive to school to the radio, use computers for schoolwork, and read magazines and watch TV before bed — [the media] is always there,’ South senior Debbie Bernstein said, and her words apply to most all of us here at South. Whether it be from television, radio, print journalism, or the internet, the mass media influences each of us in some way, every day…”

“The need for distributed applications is growing. Some quick and easy solutions now exist which will help a developer generate such an application right out of the box. These shrink-wrap solutions, however, often fail to provide the power necessary to build a truly robust distributed system. The following pattern is presented for use in projects that require a custom built solution.”

“The Internet could become more three-dimensional — allowing Net surfers to virtually step into a site, walk around and talk to others — if Adobe Systems has its way with a Web-authoring software tool to be unveiled Monday. The new product, called Adobe Atmosphere, lets Web designers create 3D Web pages where visitors can interact and chat with one another in real time.”

“Flash is plagued by several inherent usability issues. Jakob Nielsen’s Designing Web Simplicity led me to the conclusion that for Flash to succeed as a medium, more than simple design issues must be solved. Most obvious of these technical hurdles, however, was the issue of Flash’s display size limitations.”

“The Sony VPL-VW10HT video projector is an LCD projector designed for the home. It is relatively compact (compared to normal televisions, rear projection TV’s, or CRT projectors) and yet can project a very large image (Sony says up to 300″ diagonally). This projector is also remarkably easy to set up and you get a pretty darn good image right out of the box. That is to say that you don’t *have* to do any expensive modifications or buy additional hardware or do lots of tweaking to get an exciting image.”

“Once, when a reporter asked Picasso what he would do if locked in a cell without paint or crayons, he replied, ‘I would draw with my spit.’ I guess some people just have to make art. Jasmine is one of those gifted people who makes art from whatever tools are at hand. While still in art school, she was assigned the job of ’scanner monitor’. After a time, she began asking her fellow students if she might scan not only their art and photography, but their face as well. She eventually collected almost 200 portraits.” Background.

“This is the Palm VII that I made out of nothing but LEGO. It is shelled out from the ordinary Palm VII that was issued to me at work. I use it day in and day out as my normal handheld device. Other people in the office are often left in a steep bogglement when they see it, especially new employees.”

Oops. Another blatant self-plug: I started a “Photo of the Moment”-type thing on my personal site. Features pictures from my archives, all full-frame, no cropping. Ever. I like it that way.

“The Trojan horse applications discussed within this website are remote administration hacker utilities that will allow a user to control another user’s computer across the Internet. Trojan horse applications can provide equal, if not more control of a remote PC system than the person sitting at its keyboard.”

“Vindigo is a personal navigation tool — tell it where you are or where you’re going and it can find the nearest and best places to eat, shop, and play. Vindigo knows about every great restaurant, bar, movie, and store in your city.”
