Windows ME? OMG!
You may be wondering why I have a Windows Millenium Edition computer at home. Because that’s what came on the computer (Pentium III-733) when I bought it in December 1999. My newer machine I got a few years ago is running Linux (was RedHat, now is Debian). And my next home computer will be a […]

An Example of Good vs. Bad HTML

The Tungsten-E has a beautiful screen, color 240×240 pxiels (vs 120×120 gray). Battery life so far seems to not be great, but I’m […]

The Washington Apple Pi is a Washington DC user group for Apple computers. They’ve posted details about their site re-design. Very interesting article.

Really cool tool (ha, I’m a poet and don’t know it!) for creating CSS layouts. http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php
