Event Delegation based DHTML Drag and Drop?

So, as the urge to tinker rises again, I’ve started playing with YUI and cracked open some XoxoOutliner code again. One of the things that struck me like a bolt from the blue recently is the notion of event delegation. For the most part, I’ve treated event bubbling as a nuisance, except for [...]

Microsummaries and Content-Type Mysteries

One of my favorite features of the new Firefox are Microsummaries. They’re like RSS-lite: one-liner summaries of web pages that can be used to keep bookmark titles up to date and get succinct info about a page. For example, you could get the latest temperature from the title of a weather report bookmark, [...]

clubhouse games FTW on nintendo ds

I’m really digging the Nintendo DS thing – especially this new game I got for my birthday last week called Clubhouse Games. It’s a pretty cheap buy, but comes loaded with about 40 classic board, bar, and card games. It also seems like they’ve got all the bases covered with 1-cart local multiplayer; [...]

too much information running through my brain

So, mostly for the hell of it, I’ve loaded my footer with the output of as much of my activity elsewhere on the interweb that I could think to include. Let’s see if it’s useful, or just information overview overkill.

hemingway theme blocks and widgets

So, after reading a comment from Brian Cors and wandering by his site again, I’ve suddenly gotten more interested in the Hemingway theme for WordPress. One problem, though: Although the WordPress Widgets plugin (about which I’ve raved) was based on Hemingway’s Blocks feature, it’s not apparently compatible. So, anyone know how to [...]

MyDreamApp disappointments and Hijack

After five grueling rounds, the MDA winners have been announced. Let the development begin!Source: digg – MyDreamApp, 3 Winners Announced! Spoiler alert – the winners are Cookbook, Portal, and Atmosphere. Pretty disappointing, since my faves were Hijack, Whistler, and Desktop Wars. Of course, I didn’t do anything other than vote and occasionally forum-lurk. Which, matter [...]

much ablog about nothing

Wow – just shy of 2 weeks since the last post. Had conversations with 2 different people today, both of whom knew of decafbad.com and both of whom asked me, “Huh, you don’t really do the blogging thing so much anymore, do you?” So, here I am blogging about not blogging again. [...]
