Believe me, I am a Web designer. The reason why this page looks so odd is because you're viewing it in a browser that doesn't support Cascading Style Sheet positioning. It doesn't work in particularly old browsers. However, if you scroll down, you'll find all my content. Don't let this site fool you, I've designed plenty of sites that work in older browsers, this was just my first step towards what is the future of Web design.

Here’s a hint, piss off a search engine. Food for thought for news outlets…

Or any other site for that matter. You’re not not just limited to radiological destruction. It’s fun for the whole family! ™

Actually, come to think of it, so do I. I wouldn’t vote for them, mind you, but some cogent, sane, political dialog might be nice.

IE/Mac doesn’t handle elements with two class names

This for Google’s sake, mostly.

But for future reference, IE/Mac doesn’t handle elements that have two class names.

And this sucks, because it’s a common technique I use to make my CSS a little more user adaptable.

Because the producers at work are usually making minor tweaks and changes to the layouts of the few CSS pages we have, I adopted this technique. In a total bastardization of the OOP term, I think of them as mix-ins.

Say, you’ve got an <h1> with a class=”lede”, but the producers need to make it bigger and red when it’s a breaking story. Except for IE/Mac, they could do something like this: class=”lede breaking.”

Anyway, I second any motions to drop support for IE/Mac. Mac users should be smart enough to be using the better options they have.

Very cool….

Ok Parmount, let me clue you in. Innovating doesn’t involve copying someone else’s successfull ‘restart.’ I’ve got my DS9 DVDs, and once I have my TOS DVDs I’m done with the franchise, period.

The best intro to the long tail, if you haven’t heard of it already.
