Help! I am in search of someone, some benevolent group, maybe a web design/development class project, willing to do an overhaul of a writing site that very much needs an update. Is this a lot to ask for? I just lack the time and resources to do it myself, and despite some flakiness, some 20,000 […]
Here is a CDB “web good dog” nod to “Home of the Underdogs” a site devoted to preserving “underrated” computer games many, but not all of the being “ambandonware” or titles no longer available: Home of the Underdogs is a non-profit site dedicated to the preservation and promotion of underrated PC games (and a few […]
Anders is doing something link worthy- offering to dotate $1 for every blogger who posts a list of relief agencies and posts it on a public blog. That’s right, just post some links and/or make your own dontation, blog about it, and he chips in to the relief fund. I’d already Amazon-ed a contribution last […]

I opened the box for my new G4 laptop, connected a firewire cable from it to my old laptop, and then watched in awe as the entire content, applications, and set up were transferred over. It was 100% smooth (so far). Details on how […]

I am so happy with it. Base on jClicker slide show, […]
I’ve been collecting worthy and interesting web sites for almost as long as I can remember, heaping them up in piles on the floor. Actually, we have a site called the Bag of URLs where I post and share them– this started back in 1996 primarily as a selfish tool for my own use to […]
I’ve written before about the sheer joy of getting feedback on a now 11 year old online Writing HTML tutorial…. see [1] [2] [3], but still get a warm feeling with emails like this one that arrived yesterday: I have read this material for one month (Writting HTML).

I’ll take one of these, please. You can have a lot of faith in the sensible writing of Danny Goodman, who long ago for me threw all kinds of new light on HyperCard, and later JavaScript… My job in this book is to translate the gobbledygook spouted by all sides of the email wars into […]
I give credit to “Thomas” , a participant in one my recent workshops at Manukau Institute of Technology here in Auckland, NZ for turning me on to a new search site- A9. It is a whopper. It’s been about a Google years since I got interested or even raised an eyebrow at a new search […]
