The Browser Wars Aren’t Even Close to Over
I’ve read recently (in several places) that “the browswer wars are over.” This is a reference, I assume, to the Netscape Navigator/IE war from the late 90s (here’s the wikipedia article). But I think anybody who says ‘the browser wars are over’ is clearly smoking crack. Or maybe they don’t use the internet and haven’t [...]

Dispatch
My friend Wick mentioned that he likes the band Dispatch to me the other day, and if we ever put a band together, could we do one of their songs. So then he lent me a cd of some of their live stuff. Holy crap. It’s awesome. Lots of looping and overall awesome stuff with a sort [...]

Browsers, etc.
I’m subscribed to the “Known Issues for the New Blogger” feed, mostly in hopes that they’ll get it working right with Opera one day (right now, bad things still occasionally happen when you hold ctrl+shift.
