Matt’s {silence} is the best 9/11 tribute I have seen on the Web.
I have rapidly become addicted to Wordblog. I have been an avid Scrabble fan in the past, but currently have very few people to play against.
Blogger bucks premium-services trend. “A Google representative said the formerly paid services will be rolled out in the free version in the next few days, but that syndication and posting by e-mail will take longer to offer. "
Danger: HipTop OS 1.1 Sneak Peek A little birdy told me October 15th or 16th.
Pixies To Reunite For Tour, Album. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I pretty much never link to other bloggish sites anymore. Which isn’t to say that my default reading list has gotten any smaller, or that I am not out looking for new voices to listen to every day. Out of the ones I have discovered in the last few months, the one that stands out in my mind is EXP. His photos are simply stunning, and I love the simple yet effective site design.
Apparently, I can use my new phone with this remote controlled mini car. Cool!
cemetary has to be one of the best Flash/Photography pieces I have ever seen on the Web. Big ups to “sellout” Todd for the HREF.
So last weekend, I ended up leaving my phone in a cab at the end of Saturday night. I couldn’t remember which one of the many Atlanta Cab companies I had used, as I picked the cab up outside of the Dark Horse here in Atlanta. I awoke the next morning, realized I had lost my phone, and called it several times with no luck. Eventually, I gave up and went and purchased a Sony Ericsson T616. It seems like a great phone so far, I love the Bluetooth and iSync support, and I just installed Salling Clicker. Pretty neat to be able to use the cellphone as a remote control for my Powerbook. Should be even more interesting when I delve a bit more into the scripting side of things.
Macromedia asks: What are you into?
Gamefly.com is like Netflix for console video games. Seems like a great idea, and I have been wondering why no one has jumped on this sooner. Update: always behind the times, I am. Check this post out for a complete rundown of these services.
sunspot.net - plugged in: “Though many amateurs may be looking for, and finding, holes in Windows, the FreeBSD Unix code that forms the foundation of OS X has been prodded by legions of expert programmers for 30 years.”
Ars Technica: Macintosh Browser Smackdown is a well put together article about the state of the Macintosh browser market including the speed, compatibility and support of standards in current browsers. Most interesting to me, of course, was the fact that they used PGA.com as one of their test sites. I don’t think that something I have worked on has ever been used in this manner. Equally interesting was the ability to compare our load times against ESPN.com across all of the browsers. As a team, we know we have some work to do in the page weight and markup department on the main site, some the issues resulting from an image heavy design, others from limitations imposed by the content management system that we use.
Considering I’ve read all his books except for his newest, just released one, Diary, it’s pretty surprising that I hadn’t made it to Chuck Palahniuk’s Web site before today. Lots of good stuff over there, I ended up knowing how to pronounce his last name properly, and with a list of ten other authors I plan on checking out.
