Ok, so it isn’t the morning any more (at least where I’m located) but I thought I’d still post this. I would like to start posting a roundup of links that I find when catching up on Twitter in the morning. Of course these links won’t just be random crap but the links I thought were interesting and actually worth sharing. 
So, here are the links for todays Morning Twitter Link Roundup (technically afternoon) read more…
If you haven’t seen or heard about Microsoft’s project Natal, you can check it out at the Xbox website here. Basically it’s a similar concept to the Wii where you control a video game with motion except Natal doesn’t use a controller in any form other than human. You are the controller.
It seems to work really well and so far I’m hearing really great reviews on it. It’s another step forward for the gaming industry and a big threat to the Wii. It’s a really neat idea and as you can see at the Xbox website linked above, it has a wide range of possibilities. As neat of an idea as this is, I have my concerns. Here are some pros and cons. read more…
Today I saw a little post by Brian Cray “Target IE6 and IE7 with only 1 extra character in your CSS” which bugged me a little so I thought I’d post my thoughts. If you haven’t read his blog post, go check it out real quick.
Brian and I (as well as most of the rest of the web world) use the classic “*selector” and “_selector” hacks for IE6 and 7 (as shown in Brian’s post). This is fine and dandy except that Brian includes these hacks with the rest of the non-hacked CSS which I don’t agree with.
Brian argues that by including the hacks with the rest of the CSS it minimizes HTTP requests, saves time (and thus your client’s money), users’ bandwidth, etc. This is where I think Brian has gone wrong and I argue the opposite. read more…
Occasionally I’ll be asked where the idea for “StupidSucks” came from. This is actually a pretty funny question to me because of the history of the name. Over the last year or so it has evolved into something quite different from the original idea.
Where did I get the idea? Winco. If you’re not familiar with Winco, it’s just a large scale grocery store similar to but smaller than Costco. I hate shopping at Winco because of the incredibly stupid people I encounter every time. read more…
I just took a few minutes to go through 45 profiles of Twitter users that have followed me and here are the stats.
)This is pretty sad if you ask me and these stats are actually better than the last 150 profiles I’ve gone through recently. 14 of the users were clearly spammers, 18 of the users had too few updates to tell if they were worth following, spam or what and 6 of the users I’m not able to read updates for (protected updates and foreign language). Hopefully some of those 18 n00b users will turn out to be interesting twitterers.
Awhile ago Audrey and I took a trip down to Las Vegas, Nevada so she could visit UNLV (potential grad school). The second day we were there I was invided to go hiking with her and a group from UNLV to Red Rock. It was fun, warm and there were lots of great views. I love the outdoors!
