You got your peanut butter in my chocolate! (Running Parallels and Boot Camp on the same Mac.)

A nice general article on web standards, as a profile of the mighty Z. (I just wish that most sites were run with web standards. that’d be the day.)

(tags: history standards css browsers)

yeah, right.

(tags: .net)

big list of web-based versions of various business/productivity software

(tags: business productivity opensource reference)

oh, that reminded me that I loaned a student worker at Pierce my copy of Veen’s book — the one that I got for my Blogger template design (bracket town!), and never got it back. 🙁 jerk.

send this to Emmett.

“NetEquality’s largest setup includes 350 apartments that use 75 nodes and just four DSL Internet connections.” (on page 2) there you are, then.

C’s mom’s saying: “3 moves is as good as a fire.” which is kinda creepy, but true. I have an intense and ambivalent relationship to stuff.

(tags: personal psychology society history home)

what a crazy story!

(tags: creditunion)

I am attempting — painfully — to learn this lesson myself. not just to do it, but to actually believe it.

(tags: personal psychology depression)

a good description of the final process.

(tags: accessibility reference)

looks a lot like ye olde sliding doors technique

(tags: css)

quirky. I think I like it, but it doesn’t have very good visibility. (yet)

(tags: creditunion web_dev checkback)

“my emphasis is frankly on nudging them to learn to train themselves, because $DEITY knows it’s what they’ll have to do out here in the wild” — yes yes yes yes. I should probably write a whole frigging post on this.

‘A man who gets angry at work may well be admired for it but a woman who shows anger in the workplace is liable to be seen as “out of control” and incompetent’ — connect that to the negotiation study…. ::sigh::

some things about this design that are inspirational for a current project.

(tags: design inspiration)

some potentially useful resources here.

(tags: mac linux to-read)

this came thru my email via google alerts.

(tags: creditunion)

lots of places for research

(tags: cms_research intranet)

works with timeline (something I was playing with a while back) very cool-looking.

“You can get the benefits of microformats for your own maps applications” — I think I already did that. 🙂

(tags: google gis microformat)

::sigh:: I have most of either the first part of a novel or a first novel. Nice thing about this piece is that it even has suggestions for those of us who write lurching from pillar to post. 🙂

(tags: writing reference)

is this recursive? (also, send to KS.)

(tags: reference web_dev)

an interesting description of the basic feature of CMS vs. homebrew “relational database with an admin section”

(tags: cms_research intranet)

Lots of good tips, but this line rang true from previous experience: “Coworkers can develop envy or mistrust in an employment environment where only a few are given the option to telecommute.”

(tags: productivity)

and useful tips for ME, assuming I ever get the opportunity to telework again.

“women’s reluctance was based on an entirely reasonable and accurate view of how they were likely to be treated if they did”

(tags: gender society money)

I’m sure this would make Shelley tear her hair out (or at least roll her eyes), but now I have a mental metaphor for RDF: microformats on steroids. 🙂

Superbia! — which I read a while ago and would like to get back to.

(tags: urban_studies local olympia ena to-read)

An interesting note about this issue — two articles about writing, sure, but also two articles by women.

(tags: writing web_dev gender)

Paula & Steve went to St Chad’s cathedral recently. also: patron saint of medicinal springs?!

(tags: weird history personal)

just remembering my old PDQ Bach tapes. I haven’t heard The Seasonings since I was in high school. ::sigh::

Dylan continues to be f’ing funny, tho not on his own blog. As for Seafair, it’s like Lakefair down here, only in Oly it’s loggers/farmers vs. hippies. (Don’t get me started.)

(tags: funny local seattle olympia society)

that sounds nummy.

(tags: food recipes chicken)

there. that’s what I want.

neat! If I had a sewing machine…and knew how to sew…I’d love to make something like it.

WTF? “When asked, Mr. Korb hides his head in his hands and replies: ‘Please, whatever you do, don’t ask me that question.'”

(tags: weird politics society)

connection has been weirdly intermittent. need to figure out WTF is wrong.

(tags: home misc_tech to-do)

need to figure out how to look at router info.

(tags: home misc_tech to-do)

nice concept. my very first actual site design (c. 1998) used a house metaphor, with rooms for different subjects. the splash page was a blue outline of a house. (memories….)

(tags: web_dev philosophizing)

Actually, it sounds like he would have been quite good there. Okay, maybe I should have gone. But dude: a weekend? Also, trying to compile some info and ideas for my boss….

“The subtitle of the article — “some institutions aren’t realizing all that Web 2.0 has to offer” — is generous beyond belief.” heh.

(tags: creditunion web_dev)

actually a ton of potentially useful items here.

(tags: wordpress to-read to-do)

C took a ton of classes from her when he was at UWT. fascinating stuff.

sigh. I’m trying to figure out how to deal with the gift subscriptions Elizabeth & Mom gave us for Xmas.

I’m looking for Mona Janson, who used to work at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma.
