While catching up on the newsfeeds this weekend, I stumbled across a perfectly wonderful quote by Evan Williams. He pretty much sums up every discussion I’ve ever had on this particular subject, to wit … “I only point to Alexa graphs from now on when they help illustrate my point, since in general it’s full … More

Nearly a year after I intended to redesign my personal site for Spring 2006 CSS Reboot, I’ve started up again. What happened last time? Life, work, etc. What you see above (and here) is the latest incarnation of the design. For comparison purposes, here’s an early iteration of last year’s model. My standard high contrast … More

Apologies to visitors and hostees alike. A small server hiccup early this morning resulted in this site (and a couple dozen hosted sites) to be inaccessible for approximately four hours. Something tells me that my warning and restart scripts need a little fine-tuning. As you were.

Never mind that previous post about the languishing state of beta that Flickr has been occupying for gosh knows how long. They’ve just gone gamma with a hatload of snappy new navigation, organization, search, and buddy-related functionality. I’d blather more about all the changes, but I must go click and play …

I’ve been tossing my pixels at Flickr for nearly a year and half, and aside from a few post-Yahoo! growing pains, the system seems solid. One question has popped into head on several occasions, as I’m sure it has for other Flickrpeeps … when the heck will Flickr ever come out from under the beta … More

So, the first of May has come and gone. So has a deadline that I was dearly hoping to make. If you’ll notice, this site is not sporting any of the previously promised, lovingly redesigned, standards-savvy, tableless, CSS goodness. Well, there’s a reason for that. It’s simply not ready for prime time. I’m not happy … More

Are they the only folks who made Flickr what it is today? No. But they’re arguably the most important pair of webheads behind it. Time Magazine took note of the influence that Flickr has had on self-publishing, the nearly-ubiquitous functionality of tag clouds, and being able to harness the energy behind a visual, creative community. … More

Enough talk. Enough delay. Enough of this old design already. I signed up for the May 1st CSS Reboot a few weeks ago. Stay tuned for something that doesn’t look anything like what you’re looking at now. Here’s a sneak peek.

Pardon the dust. I’m mucking about with the CSS on this sorry excuse for a personal site. The plan is to migrate away from the current steaming pile of table-plagued, almost nearly valid markup over to some sort of XHTML loveliness before the end of this month. This plan is similar to the one that … More

So, what’s been keeping me quieter than usual over the past few weeks? The redesign and full-body massage over at the day job, for one thing. No, it’s not quite standards-compliant yet (but it’s a damn sight closer than it used to be). And yes, I realize that the orange logo is gone (sorry folks, … More
