Monkinetic Weblog

Ok, everyone else has been going wonky over Safari, I might as well throw out a request: I want to be able to drag a file from the Finder onto a file upload form. This is 2003, people!

JY posts an interesting idea for Safari that solves the problem (multiple browser views supported in one window) that tabbed-browsing tries to solve. I think this is more Apple-like than actual tabs would be, and I like the "persistent-between-window-closes" idea too.

You, and you: RSS feed, now.

Currently ripping:

• Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape

• The Cure - Wild Mood Swings

Paul Boutin posts a sample KeyNote file - it's xml (quite complex) but it would be fun creating web apps that generate these.

This guy has some interesting commentary on Microsoft and Apple's different approaches to handling diverse media in the OS, as represented by Microsoft's Longhorn (code-name for some new version of Windows) and Apple's Mac OS X and the iApps.

I'm, like sure this is out there somewhere already, but if not, it should be:

Dad, this is for you. Want that new 17" Powerbook? Here's a tool to use on it. -)

Ok, so we rearranged our office and today realized that we did it backwards. Silly us! Don't you hate that?

Um, wow. new powerbooks, new web browser, new powerpoint killer... read all about it here. -)

The bloggers are reviewing Safari right now:

Apple used the rendering engine from KDE (KHTML) to make Safari. Here is a mailing list post detailing the changes they made.

Robert Scoble writes about how to get high-school and college kids to pay attention when they have wireless internet access in the classroom. He's got some cool, and refreshingly unorthodox, ideas. -)

4) Publish all the students work. Every bit of it. Even tests. Hey, you wanna see who finds the cheaters then? Guess what, in the work world, every bit of my life is "on the record." (Yes, I know my coworkers and management are reading here).

[via Scoble again]

If 2002 is the year of the blog (the great Glenn Reynolds said that), how about making 2003 the year when we all get jobs again?

One thing I did not mention in my last post about the Ivy Architectural Innovations' site: it has a blog!

Mark is at it again, this time listing his posts by quotation, by keying off the cite element of his blockquote and q tags.

Well, I was getting tired if working in the living room, so Jodi and I went about redoing our home office today.

Redmonk Development has just launched its first official client site, Ivy Architectural Innovations. You can read about the site in the portfolio, here.

I should never pay attention to the weblog popularity contests/ link-tracking sites like Technorati, because I'm not a popular blogger and will likely never be. I'm interested in too many things, and get distracted too easily. I'm rarely effectively witty, and too clever for my own good. I don't write too badly, but I'll never win an award for it, and the only time I'm gaspingly passionate is when I'm about to stick my foot in my mouth.

For the most part, I find that Jakob Nielsen severly strains my attention span. However, today Jodi and I were perusing Barnes & Noble and I ran across Homepage Usability.
