As geeks sometimes do, I was discussing event firing with respect to the input element with fellow members of #javascript@EFNet. I made a simple test script that shows the ordering of event firing. The inconsistencies across different browsers are interesting and funny; that is, if you’re a geek.
When considering the ordering of the events fired, [...]

It’s making its way around the net and I will continue the trend. Paul Rademacher has brought the power of Google Maps and the information base from Craigslist into what I nominate for the Best Composite Web App of the Year.
Just in the last ten minutes of conversation with friends there have been innumerable suggestions [...]

I stumbled across a neat fantasy stock market type deal: Yahoo! Buzz Market.
I’ve invested in OS X Tiger, Wordpress, Firefox, JavaScript, AIM, Bittorrent, C#, PHP, LCD TVs, Playstation, and MediaWiki.
I didn’t really choose them to gain the most; I just chose my favorites of a bunch of categories. We’ll see how well my favorite technologies [...]

No, Safari didn’t crash on me. It’s just an attempt at a clever title.
I did, however, run across an inconvenience with Safari today. Jesse Ruderman’s Cryptogram Helper relies largely on the visual styling of input boxes to make it a useful tool. Safari doesn’t allow certain styling of input elements, however, and thus proves mostly [...]

I did have more posts before that date on yet another blog, but I’m too lazy to track down the saved files and manually import them. Thirty-nine months [...]

Since I bought my 12″ PowerBook G4 a couple months ago, I’ve been experimenting with various software on Mac OS X. There are some pieces of software, such as Finder, that don’t provide the quickest or friendliest transition from a Windows background, but then there are other programs that are simply stellar.
Great Mac OS X [...]

I wrote a paper for a Philosophy of Technology class last year. I think it pretty relevant to college-level students who use the internet. I don’t expect everyone to read it, but it’s here for my own records and those that care to read it.
In Hubert Dreyfus’s “Anonymity versus Commitment: The Dangers of [...]

The Mozilla Foundation recently ran their ad in the New York Times (2004-12-16).
