A Presentavailable on my flickr

My last day this year in the office, and there is a new present I ought to be playing with… replacing a 2.5 year old G4 Powerbook with a shny new…

Today is our [...]

I have barked some about “information density” something lifted from the Tomes of Tufte — in my web travels I come across some sites that just have way too much in the gutters, banners, et al, and not much meet. Since Clara Peller is not around much, I have to ask, “Where’s the Beef?”
So take [...]

A frequent question we get from our Writing HTML tutorial is:
“what code can I use to prevent people from viewing/stealing the source code of my web pages?”
and the answer is very similar to what i say to people when they want to protect their images on web pages from being stolen- if you do [...]

I’ll leave the academic wrestling over Google Scholar to the academics– I was more humanly curious what I could find there… so did a self Google to see if I could find a reference to my previous life.

Oi, have the spammers gone wacko. Bonkers. What are they smokin’? Got a notice yesterday one tried to insert a bunch of typical “win poker cialis v*iagra celebrity beastiality pix enlarge your _____ shrink your ______ bad credit erased” URLs into one of our sites that allows honest people to design a customized style [...]

Maybe I barked and whined about podcasting, that does not mean I’m not interested in audio! I am trying to give Skype another round of tests, but cannot find anyone I know with a skype account. Is anyone up to some internet telephone tag? I’ll try to keep the application open the next few days, [...]

Wow, bonus feedback. This is from someone who has used our free jClicker Slide Show template to customize and use for showing off their model design and fabrication work:

I just upload my personal portfolio on the net that I built my self. I am so happy with it. Base on jClicker slide show, I modified [...]
