Explorations into theology, technology, leadership, and culture.
So, my blog now has the same page rank as Engadget. Go me!!! Oh… wait. Anyone who has been paying attention has already heard the news about the shift in Google’s algorithm that seems to be penalizing sites for massive cross linking. This is especially relevant to myself as my job is as Lead designer […]
Grid Layout via JavaScript. I still don’t get why people are excited about using behavior-controlling scripts for presentation…
Ryan Block on keyword popover ads. Amen brother, they will have to fire me to get this code into Engadget.
I saw CSS Sculptor last night on a tweet from Molly. Zeldman’s post made me take a second look. This could be really useful in quickly generating CSS layouts efficiently, though my pride is preventing me from wanting to purchase a wizard to do this. How quickly will this become obsolete?
Whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired. This logo cost $796,000. It’s “targeted at young people”. It also looks like a fourth grade art class mistake. Oh, and animations of it are causing seizures… literally. What were they thinking??? London’s Design Museum founder Stephen Bayley put it best, saying the logo is […]
MTV’s Web site is sweet. They just released a fast, clean, HTML+CSS site, a wonderful change from their Flash based behemoth, which really was a technical wonder, but really hard to use.

On the off chance that you read this blog and not John Gruber’s or Dan Cedarholm’s (which I suggest you remedy immediately), it appears that a cheap, stock logo site is ripping off Mr. Cedarholm, and then denying it, even accusing Dan of design theft. Shame on you.
I have Qwest DSL as my home Internet service. I recently moved, and so while ordering the transfer of my service decided to ask what the best connection speed available to me was. I was told I could get 7 megabit, and was immediately excited. I ordered it and started to wait expectantly for the […]
It’s high time I start keeping track of good and bad things I see around the Internet and telling you, my dear readers, about them. So at the risk of throwing stones, or maybe making the Internet a better place to live, I bring you: Why On Earth Did They Do It That Way? That […]
I don’t often cross my blogs, but I wrote some of my thoughts on the Ted Haggard situation. Thought I would share.
