This week marks the fifth anniversary of Mozilla’s Firefox! I can’t believe it’s been five years — which is a looong time in the digital world — since J first told me about a new web browser that I just had to check out. “I dunno, what’s wrong with Safari?” I asked. (Yes, I was […]
Looked Familiar I Thought. Yes, Hmmm…
This past week saw the introduction of a new viral photo. Yes, I am talking about the snapshot of Carrie Fisher wearing her infamous bikini outfit, sunbathing on the set of Return of the Jedi alongside her stunt double. When I first came across the picture on Boing Boing, my first thought was not ‘Haawwwtttt!’ […]
An Awesome Google Reader Find
Are you as obsessed with Google Reader as I am? One of my favorite G’Reader features is the ability to subscribe to your friends’ “shared” feeds.

A Tribute to Geocities
Today, Yahoo killed its once-ubiquitous free hosting service, Geocities. Let us have a moment of silence for the thousands of ugly, not-updated-since-the-90s websites that have met their demise today. My favorite web comic xkcd was quick to pay their respect as well: Distracting background, scrolling marquee, garish colors, animated GIFs, broken links…it has it all! […]
Ninja-fy Your Google Reader

Can Bloated Code Be Beautiful?
The answer is YES. Last month, I saw a screenshot of the Fujinon Binoculars website source code. Filled with seemingly endless <FONT> tags, I couldn’t help but laugh. A snippet of the code. Take a look at the original to get the full effect. THIS is the reason I never use an HTML editor, […]
