Theshow is no more

Thursday, March 29th, 2007Kathy Sierra has been getting death threat comments.
Dear Apple
Friday, March 16th, 2007Coolness is like trust. It’s hard to earn and easy to lose.
Update: Others seem to have finally gotten why this is more than just an IP issue.
Apple takes its designs seriously
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Maybe a bit too much? How about just releasing skins on their own website?
Then again I never understood all those skins floating around that make your (enter system/device of your liking) look like it was designed by Apple. If I wanted a Mac I’d buy one. Especially now.
HTML in news
Thursday, January 11th, 2007Today I stumbled upon a few nice articles about HTML/markup. Since I think markup is one of the underdogs in web development I’ll list them here to see if they get any response.
- John Allsopp‘s Semantics in HTML – 1.”traditional semantic HTML”
- Garrett Dimon‘s Markup as a Craft
- Kevin Yank‘s Microsoft Breaks HTML Email Rendering in Outlook 2007
Small changes
Friday, December 29th, 2006Today I decided to change the blog a bit.
- I added an OpenId header.
- I added a Pavatar header
- I removed the ‘Add to:’ bar below the posts
- I added a page for the Pingerator.
- I decided to test the text-ad services: Google AdSense, Text Link Ads and ToboAds.
I added OpenID because I think it’s a really good initiative. If you don’t know much about it go check Simon Willison’s screencast on how to use it and how to add it to your site. I found Pavatar on Brian Ellin’s blog and felt it’s a nice idea – I was thinking about what could replace Gravatar now that it’s down (as did Dave). I also went and removed the ‘Add to:’ links since I didn’t really like them and I just added them to see if they would have any influence on posts actually being bookmarked. The pingerator was added to increase its findability and the ad services will be tested to see how they work and if they work for me. If I get any money it will be invested in software and/or computer books.
