POTPOURRI IS A WEIRD WORD
From the Edge of My Seat, It doesn't have to look the same. While there, also check out Media Types so that your code will be prepared for anything.
Think Geek's Digital Camera Comparision.
Nine Assasins of Broadband. Looks like it's time to check into a V.92/V.44 modem.
Rhonda just had a new clutch assembly installed and new brake shoesies. Good news: Actually found a non-condescending mechanic. Bad news: he's retiring. Books on women and their cars. The one that intrigued me was “The Bad Girl's Guide to the Open Road”.
“Filled with indispensable information such as how to get out of a speeding ticket without crying and fourteen ways to open a beer bottle on your car, this guide also gives readers the practical lowdown on what to do when your engine overheats or you get a flat or you need a safe and legal place to spend the night in your car.”

While at work, I couldn't hear Steve's keynote at MacExpo due to the NT server I'm on, but I did keep track of the speech by tuning in to Appledumplings who gave the blow-by-blow. Refresh, refresh, refresh…dang, no Apple PDA. But read what was covered, while you download iPhoto. While visiting the newly resurrected ComputerWare yesterday, I did ask to see the new iWalk. The nice clerks just smiled. Apparently, I wasn't the first funny customer to ask.
On the road to hell: Ashcroft guts Freedom of Information Act.
Joining Ashcroft on that road: It seems that the record companies may have cut off their collective noses just to spite their face.
Joe Clark's Symbolizing Accessibility: He does bring up a good point: what does a wheelchair symbol have to do with computer accessibility?*
Groundwork for Project Success: Janice gives good project management advice along with “Why Projects Go Awry”.*
From Andy at Webcrumbs, “Weblog Accessibilty”. He also lists eight key things to look for.*
*Thanks to xBlog for pointing the way.

FRESH START
New sheep design for 2002. Yea! A couple of improvements: No spam ma'am JavaScript courtesy of Jemma (view her source code). Also, your choice of my regular small sans-serif font or a larger serif font courtesy of A List Apart's Alternative Style by that whippersnapper, Paul Sowden. And we're now print friendly. Of course, thanks to Jeffrey for pointing the way.
I've been collecting links in my hot little Palm since my last entry way back in ‘01, so please bear with me as I record these links for my que handy Resource Guide.
So-o-o 2001“Much Web Design has suffered from an over reliance on graphic design principles. Too many graphic designers have tried to force the Web to be what it is not, in the process creating ineffective and sometimes unusable websites. Quality Web Design is driven by information architecture design principles. Graphic design should support these principles.”Will look for those 'information architecture design principles' so I can make a comparison. I suspect this is a case of you say information architecture, I say organized Web Design.
“The basic concept is that, with ACSS, disabled assistant browsers can ‘read’ the text of a page to the person using the browser. Better yet, the ACSS commands allow you, the author, to set numerous ‘reads’.”
