Living Can Kill You

Déjà vu; moreCrayons; jwz on CSS

Things at work are still operating in a post-takeover (because, in essence, that’s what it is) haze. Rumours drift through the office, but no confirmations of anything. Although the circumstances are quite different, I have a lingering sense of déjà vu.

As a sobering reminder that the past is always with us, read The Boston Globe Magazine’s recent article on Google’s effect on interpersonal relationships.

February, at least in this part of the world, is marked by shades of grey. If, like me, you’re looking for some colour, try moreCrayons. Showcasing the web-smart colour palette, it uses a nice dHTML interface. that, unfortunately, doesn’t work in Mozilla (and that includes the newest release, version 1.3b).

How the other half thinks. (For the record, I think there are still the two groups — “text” and “pixel-perfect” — but they exist along a continuum. The difference is the former group now cares about the semantics of the mark-up.)
