Machine Tags

Jeremy Keith and I had a geeky chat this morning about machine tags, rel=tag, and the like.

Better Off Dead

Jodi and I are big John Cusack fans - I can think of only one movie of his we've seen that we didn't like (1993's superbly casted but poorly written Identity).


Floating Boxes in Rows

Last week I ran into an IE6/7 CSS bug, but in 5 hours of research did not find a solution I liked. In a nutshell, IE incorrectly implements, or incorrectly interprets, the CSS 2.1 float spec:


iPhone/MobileSafari Vulnerability

Apple is going to need to up their security staff, esp. with a"real OS" on the iPhone. Exhibit A: an iPhone browser vulnerability:


Driving Under the Influence of Awesome

For the love of all that is holy, this is AWESOME:


Great Review of R.E.M. "working rehearsal" in Dublin

>Thus is the pattern for the night established. A couple of new songs, a couple of oldies and shiny happy old me putting in a prize winning performance in the dancing while sitting down world championships. ... Everything else we don't know, though, is pretty much flawless, a raucous, breathtaking hybrid of the best bits from Reckoning and Monster.

NetFlix: Welcome to the new Millenium

So, after hemming and hawing for (checks Wikipedia) oh, 9 years, I finally signed up for NetFlix account tonight.

Tracking "via": Blog post attributions, citations, and miscellany

I found myself today re-titling, converting to markdown, and tagging about 150 blog posts that came over from this site's days on Editthispage.com, when each day was a post and every day was titled "Redmonk.News". While doing so I got to thinking about how I attribute links to various sources. Mostly I used the common idiom, the word "via" and the name of the blogger/source, with a link to the site or post where I found the link/idea.


Octosquid!

Sweet!


Another 7-item List Post: Google Analytics features

In the grandest spirit of traffic-generating posts (via Dustin @ Bajooter), Creative Bits tells us about 7 Cool New Features of Google Analytics.


echoloquation.com now tumblr-powered

My lifestream site, , is now powered by tumblr, instead of my home-brewed Rails app. I never got the Rails app updating like I wanted, and then over the weekend it stopped responding at all. Since I started playing with lifestreams, so many good apps (tumblr, Jaiku) have come out that fighting with my own is not currently worth my time.


Update: 21 Things I Want in a Lover - iPhone

Updated from my last list, now that the "work of nearly indescribable beauty" has been released:


Firing Cox: Houston, we have Dish

So yesterday was our Dish Network installation. It was scheduled for between 8 and 12, so I got permission to work remotely yesterday so I could be around. Well, around 11:00 I got a call from the installation dispatcher saying that my installer was running late, and that he would be at the house around 2:00 PM. Annoyed but used to this kind of thing in general, I waited.

What a great day!

Three great things happen today! iPhone, Ratatouille, and my birthday! Yay!


Brain Power

>Read this aloud and your inner ear, by itself, will be carrying out at least the equivalent of a billion floating-point operations per second, about the workload of a typical game console. The inner ear together with the brain can distinguish sounds that have intensities ranging over 120 decibels, from the roar of a jet engine to the rustle of a leaf, and it can pick out one conversation from among dozens in a crowded room. It is a feat no artificial system comes close to matching.
