So a few days ago I wrote up a quick tip on how to use TopStyle to work with David Shea’s color tips for site design. Then, today I find this site:
And all that Malarkey // Creating colour palettes. Good stuff.

Nick Bradbury wrote about Banana phone and now I’m responding by saying: get the new and last Five Iron Frenzy album. There’s two CD’s (a live last concert album and their last official studio album). I’ve listened through the two and am actually finishing up their last song. Good stuff. But I won’t make any promises you won’t be walking around singing ‘cannonball.’

Hope others enjoy them as much as I do. I saw Five Iron (FIF or 5Fe) several times in concert in the last 8 years and loved every bit of it. I was actually in Denver the night of their last concert and couldn’t go (I was visiting family for a short weekend, no time to go). Bye Five Iron, we’ll miss you, but all is good – new bands have sprouted from this dead one.

Note: if you haven’t seen it, you should check out: “You have bad taste in music” [not responsible for content on this site]

Eric Meyer’s writes about his influences: Under The Influences. He thinks he’s not an influence. If it wasn’t for him and Jeffrey Zeldman my passion for web standards would not exist. On top of that Alt-N‘s site would in no way be standards compliant (OK, it took more than those two without Dave and Trint working so hard) because I would have never been interested in standards. I put a bug in Dave’s ear about standards and he screamed through DWWS and then anxiously awaited the new site design.

Eric, you’re an influence, be proud, but keep going: with your help some day Internet Explorer may see the light of web standards [or, it doesn’t hurt to think optimistically].

The idea at the following URL: Hixie’s Natural Log: Server-sent DOM events is brilliant and should happen some day so I can program like this.
