Monkinetic Weblog

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

[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?

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).

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

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

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

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

Cool, David (Rys) McCusker got himself hooked up with voice recog. software, so he's dictating his blog now.

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.

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.

Well, yesterday Jodi and I went hiking with her cousins, Brady and Carly. This morning I got up and went mountain biking with them. I've not had this much cardio-vascular exercise in ages, and I'm feeling it!

Following a megnut link about a job listing Meg posted to Craig's List, I found that the Craig's List site is really cool. It seems to be a site that allows the creation of online communities - there's a big one for New York, one for Phoenix, etc. I think I'm going to add this site to my collection of places to look for jobs. I noticed that the few postings I looked at were written in a person's voice - not the Recruiter-droid&trademark lingo you hear on most other job sites.

Jodi's cousins are in town for a couple days. We went out to the Superstition Mountains to hike the Peralta Canyon trail. We had an awesome time, got some great exercise, and saw some cool scenery.

If you'd like to follow every mesage posted to this site, but don't feel the need to respond, you can subscribe to a new RSS feed I just created:

Not many people may know that this site is also a mailing list! That's right - messages posted to this site are delivered to the mailing list, and replies on the list appear here on the site as well.

As previously mentioned, I've made some improvements to the site this evening. I've added a link to this (monkinetic) weblog to the section navigation; I also added a couple subscribe links to the discussion navigation, too (for the mailing list and rss) to make it easier for folks to find out what's going on here. Enjoy!

Nice funky bass line to practice to: Maroon 5, This Love.
