Happy Birthday, Firefox!

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.

This is a great resource for discovering new blogs, as well as interesting articles you wouldn’t have found otherwise. Today, my friend Brooke shared a post from photographer Alison […]

How Many iPhone Apps Do You Use?

I admit it — I’m a cell phone whore. And as much as I love my HTC G1, I hate, hate, HATE the T-Mobile network. The problem is made worse by the fact that I had switched over to T-Mobile from Verizon (the best network in the U.S.) for the G1. I refuse to switch […]

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, […]
