Firda has created the CSS colouring book -“a collection of plain, CSS-intensive weblog layouts that are free for the taking.

Deadly Bloody Serious has a good discussion of how AvantGo has become clueless with their recent announcement to start charging streams with more than 8 subscribers as commercial feeds. 8 subscribers?

    This post by Meryl Yourish, called Yes, I am a Jew is really powerful stuff. It also has left me feeling rather melancholy, and thoughtful today. (Scary isn’t it?) Not that I’m Jewish, nor have I ever dealt with people who hate me for no reason than my ethnicity. But it does have me wondering…

    I’ve done two conference call/webinar type of things in the last two days. You know the kind of thing where you call into a conference call, then listen and watch on the web as a vendor does a presentation of their new product. Well in both of these events there were a small handful of…
