Internet Explorer 5.02 for the Macintosh is due to be released Monday, but you can find a link to it on this page right now. [via Scripting News]
I've been using the betas for a couple of months and I like it quite a bit in comparison to any of the existing browsers on the Mac platform.
I tried out Userland’s new Pike product this afternoon. The idea of a desktop application that updates my Web site is less attractive to me than doing it through a Web browser. Regardless, I couldn’t get the app to work properly with my Manila server. Having said that, it is beta software, and I’m sure that it will be interesting when I do get it working.
I think I could spend about a month just working on my personal projects and all of the books I want to read right now and still not be completely satisfied. I’m working on the site right now, and by the end of the weekend I hope to have the archive situation figured out, the search engine situation figured out, and the picture and site of the week pages created and updated.
My office is really really cluttered and messy.

This Industry Standard metrics report includes recent statistics on a number of things that Web developers need to know about their audience and the general Web audience.
Brad points me to this press release which proves that Freewheelz.com is indeed an April Fools joke.
I went out to lunch with Doug today and he told me about FreeWheelz.com. I still think it might be an elaborate April Fool’s joke, but imagine how many people will opt for a free car if they can. The example car that is pictured in this Esquire Magazine article is branded with Stay Free Maxi Pad advertising.
Can you just imagine talking to a friend you were picking up for the first time? "I'll be in a Stay Free Maxi Pad mini-van that says 'Heavy Flow' on the hood." Methinks this free stuff with advertising thing has gone too far.
This Salon article confirms what I think most of us that subscribe to Fast Company, Business 2.0, and The Industry Standard already knew: the magazines are getting too big. It also mentions Time’s new entry into this content area: eCompany Now. Based on what it says on their site, that magazine will be availabel in May.
Work on the site continues. I’m struggling with some of the sub-page layouts, so don’t hold your breath.
An exciting day. Too bad I can’t talk about what happened here yet.
I apologize profusely for the lack of a working site beyond this page. I had expected to have time to finish all the sub pages last night, but something has come up that is huge and so important that it superceeds everything else in my life for the next 24 hours. Perhaps tomorrow night.
It’s going to be a really light day for posts. I’ve got tons of meetings and several things that need to get finished and practiced.
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later: Wetlog’s SXSW album.
ROTORtype has some fantastic fonts for Web use. For free that is.(via kaliber10000)
Apparently, redesigns are rampant again. iBoy has redesigned, Keith Brown has redesigned. Is is something in the air?
For the record, and since it’s been the number one source of feedback, there will be a duck up here at some point. Until then see Ben Brown and Weblog Wannabe for your duck needs.
I absolutely respect Lane. Great site, great writing, and he seemed like a really nice intelligent guy in my too limited contact with him at SXSW.(Truth be known I was a little intimidated by the Deep Leap posse. They are a really talented bunch.) I do not, however, think that this site could be quantified as “the bare minimum of creativity.” I, however, have been wrong about these things before.
