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.

Quick RSS observation

Tuesday | November 6, 2007 | 1:35 pm  

It seems FeedBurner is having some issues today.

So at lunch today, my usual but infrequent time for perusing my too-large subscription list in Google Reader, I was only able to read the full entries on about 25% of the blogs I read. It appears that their link redirector (and recorder) was not working for me… so URLs such as this wouldn’t work.

Not knocking FeedBurner but a couple of observations:

  • The Internet is all about not centralizing and it’s more robust for it
  • With FeedBurner becoming a central source for RSS feed serving, it becomes a pretty critical piece of infrastructure for a lot of folks

Nothing terribly insightful…
