THE BIG WHEEL

Dave gathers reactions to Smart Tags.

Chris, a guy who doesn't hesitate to use phrases like 'Slicker than snot on a doorknob', wrote an excellent article for A List Apart, Much Ado About Smart Tags.

Scott talks about Assimilating the Web. Will the spirit of the Web be crushed while AOL and Microsoft battle it out?

From Jeffrey, I learn that the Men's Wearhouse will not let me in as a Mac user who also uses IE5. Of course, I had to write George and tell him to wear this.

All My FAQs (nice name BTW). A collection of FAQs links covering HTML, CSS, Web Design, JavaScript, CGI, and more.

Although they keep spelling 'color' wrong, here is the Colour Order Systems in Art and Science. Dry title but check out their Virtual Colour or Isaac Newton's color theory (the first color wheel?) or the RGB system or the use of colours in the world of the knights or...

Sad to hear of the passing of John Lee Hooker. If you like blues, you'll want to follow the blossoming of Joe's new site, Joe's Blues. He dedicates the launching of the site to John Lee Hooker.

Palo Alto librarian goes to Philippines for a year. As a book lover and card-carrying member of several libraries, this story gets me right here.

DON'T HATE ME

Don't hate me because I'm in Block 50. It's true. I looked at the PG&E bill and I am now officially in the coveted Block 50. But still will participate in Roll Your Own Blackout tonight.

I'm wondering if I should report myself. "Pornography is any lude material..." You'd think if they're going to govern it, they should at least spell it right. Oh, and they have a category for General Blasphemy ("material that is considered evil when viewed through the eyes of God"). Nice they have the direct line to the eyes of God. Hep me Jesus.

WDG's Is there a way to prevent getting framed? Here's Tanya Rose's Unlawful Linking and Framing.

Have been using Waiter.com for over a year now. During this time, Honey and I have used all our waiter points for free AMC movie passes resulting in us having only paid for a movie maybe twice in all that time. I consider this a successful web experiment.

Keeping track of the dungeon I'm building with FileMaker Pro 5.5. Waiting with baited breath for my FileMaker Mobile to come in. D&D FMP database on our Palms...oooo, dangerous combo. Should be very handy as Honey and I don't want to drag 20 years worth of binders, notes, and books up to Manteca next month for the game.

Never particularly cared for Eric Clapton on his own, but Jack Bruce is a great bass guitarist. 2/3 Cream.

Is the design on your website measuring up?
