Here’s a nice collection of techniques using css to create all sorts of different unordered lists.

While looking for a better way to do CSS image rollovers today, I ran across this. Clever. Going to try it on a current project tomorrow to see if the technique is as sweet as it looks.

I bought a little flatbed scanner today and just for fun started going through some of the stacks of old photos lying around. Here’s one taken of the bulletin board in my bedroom, circa 1982. That’s the year I graduated from high school. It’s also the year I stopped drawing.

I have a feeling that I’m going to have to read this soon.

For what it’s worth, I really like Tracy’s blog, but don’t tell her I said that or she’ll be all struttin' around the office with that look on her face.

Want Google-like access to every email you get and send, cross-referenced and filed automatically, all the time? I did, it’s called ZOË It has been fully indexed to the last significant bit.

Console apps get a bad rap. Things like, “What kind of geek idiot would want to remember all of those keyboard commands?” and “Oh, how very 70’s of you.” I use Mutt for email and am trying Raggle for RSS feeds, and you know what, even though there are a couple of drawbacks, I can manage my email faster than you.

All you console nuts should check out Raggle, a console RSS aggregator, written in Ruby. Fast and easy.
