So, it’s getting to the end of my third week at Mozilla, and I’m a part of the Planet now—hooray! Having gotten a membership into that club, I feel like I should start making some noise about what I’m doing at work. Having stayed mostly quiet about day job affairs thus far in [...]

Markdown, Oh the Humanity
May 18, 2008 – 12:18 am
I use Markdown to write for this blog, and I don’t think I could write much online without it. (Of course, that’s not saying much lately—but nevermind that for now.) Although I do appreciate all the effort put toward enhancing <textareas> on the web, I’m not a fan of WYSIWYG writing interfaces. They hide [...]
Go Midwest, Young Man!
May 14, 2008 – 5:01 pm
Reminiscent of this time almost two years ago, it’s been a busy period so far. I’ve been working on another book, entitled Professional JavaScript Frameworks, and have changed jobs twice since leaving Yahoo! in early April. I think I’m done bouncing around now, though: As you may or may not already know, I’ve [...]
In retrospect
April 26, 2008 – 1:52 pm
When I first created this blog back in February 2002, I was talking to myself and I knew it. But, that didn’t really matter: Since becoming newly digital in 1983, I’d already spent years plugging away at personal projects big and small, frequently abandoned, talking to myself all the time anyway. So, blogging, I thought, [...]
Greatest Hits Vol. 2, the Babble Bits
April 26, 2008 – 1:21 pm
Following right on the heels of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is another volume, this time including the entries that were more made of babble or ramble and not so much with code. Again I welcome additions, comments, criticisms, and complaints. .entry-content ul li { font-style: italic; } .entry-content ul li a { [...]
Greatest Hits Vol. 1, the Tinkery Bits
April 26, 2008 – 12:53 pm
As you may have noticed, I’ve been shaking things up around here a little. Sorry for turbulence in the feeds! I’ve moved to a new server, and I’ve been trying out Movable Type again, but with mixed luck. Why? Because I’ve been using WordPress for a few years, and I felt like a [...]
amazing visitors
February 1, 2008 – 12:56 am
And I’m amazed that people seem to still visit this blog, despite the near-complete inactivity. That reminds me, I really should do something with that MyBlogLog API sometime — I’m totally digging what Kent Brewster is doing with it.
Metablogging
February 1, 2008 – 12:30 am
Back in November, I built decafbad recaffeinated using Tinderbox. Through it, I wanted to finally get my head around playing with the web publishing features of Tinderbox — and I hoped that after the Yak Shaving, I would enjoy the results enough to be motivated to continue pushing out small particles of thought.
