I took away the WP Greet Box for awhile based on the fact that I didn’t really have it configured optimally. I wanted the Greet Box (which is a little pop up widget that say “Hello, welcome to the site, you can subscribe here” — pretty much) because on several of the themes I have [...]
I received this link on one of my mailing lists and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Following up on my “Flash is dead” post, you can enable Youtube.com to work in HTML5.
Go to: http://www.youtube.com/html5 and you can “opt-in”. I assume it places a cookie in your browser so that every time [...]
In a big move by Google I just received an email letting me know that Google will be phasing out support for IE6 in Google Apps in 2010.
“In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This [...]
I’ve been reading a lot of hubbub about the new Apple iPad not having the capability of displaying Flash. Of course! It stands to reason that it can’t, it has the same OS as the iPhone, which, also can’t display Flash. Which leads me to think, why do we need flash?
Answer is, we don’t. Not [...]
People are already criticizing it because it doesn’t have Flash on it (it runs the iPhone OS). I say to those people, GOOD.
Flash is, as the last year has shown us, a horrible piece of programming and it needs to die. HTML5 will kill it off for the most part, and it needs [...]
Mozilla has put out Firefox Release Candidate for version 3.6 of the browser, and as always, it’s publicly available via their website. Just a reminder that this is an RC, not a full version upgrade or anything, and it’s essentially beta code, so your milage may vary.

The list of bugs that go into 3.6 that [...]
When I moved to the current theme, I received a couple emails telling me that the theme is hard to read on an iPhone. So I fixed that. If you browse to the blog on an iPhone you will now receive a completely different screen and interface, one that is very iPhone compatible, user-friendly, and [...]
I am not sure if Instapaper has apps for anything other than the iPhone, and I kind of doubt, if that exclusivity exists, that it will last any amount of time.
Instapaper is one of those new 2.0 companies that is web/app based. They provide you a free log in to their website, which by the [...]
Happy to see this, because I know several friends of mine have been working on this in the background at Google, and what a good job they have been doing as well. I have visions of these guys in dimly lit rooms sitting around keyboards, their faces awash in the white glow of XCode, furiously [...]
Kinda.
Google released a “developer preview” of Google Chrome for the Mac finally. Actually, you’ve been able to get a hold of it for awhile, but the copy that you could get, from Google, was essentially the developer developer preview. It worked, but only in some areas. I was using that for a long while, and [...]
