A blog I follow via RSS, kottke.org has been redesigned. You cannot get more minimal than this. I take that back, you can, but if you do, you’re actually only using structural, syntactical HTML. It actually looks pretty good for being so minimalistic. Maybe I should try to come up with yet another design for this site that rivals that site’s minimalistic design.

8th Grade Exam
8th Grade Exam from 1895. Note that my grate-grandfather was a few years old at this time. Note that this test plows the socks off of any tests I tuk in the athe grade. In fact, I can’t anser enuff of these compeletely enough to feel contenant any more. I must need to go bak to skool!
Nappy Means Diaper
Thick nappy saves baby from snake. This is almost funny, except for the part where I want to smack the parents upside the head with a [dead] snake for leaving their kid alone in the back yard.

Clinton’s Book Cartoons
Clinton’s Book Cartoons. I don’t care if you’re right, wrong or left, this is funny.
New Blog to Monitor
My buddy Ben Linn, and his wife Dorine, have a blog now. Super cool. Ben is really oddly funny so I love to chuckle at what he says. He was the DJ at Becky’s wedding. Ben is a much better MC than I am, he’s funny, he’s got a lot of wit and I’m too focused on changing the songs correctly with little interjection.

Ben and I used to be in a band together (should have been ‘banned’) in high school and also we played at a coffee house in Reno a couple times. His skillz rock and he’s fun to play with. I look forward to some future playing… when we come to visit again. He and the Missus are a blessing.
Who Cares?
I really don’t think that people care about speed records any more. I think that most people just want to have consistent broadband connections. And I don’t ever expect to move that much data at once.
Deerfield Follies
Deerfield is going down. This made me chuckle. I think the author is a beta tester 🙂
Thoughts on Web Standards
The real reason you should care about web standards is an interesting article on the issue of Web Standards and dealing with MicroSoft. Frankly, it doesn’t offer a solution but is plotting along in that direction.
Accessible Forms
Ian Lloyd writes what has to be one of the best articles on Accessible Forms for web developers. Really good. While I employ most of what he writes already, there were a few things I learned as well. I’d like to also point out that with CSS you can style a form button or submit button to look like a text link if you want to, thus if you need to make your submission look like a link for styling reasons you can do so with the magic of CSS:
