Hey There Vagina

I’m not up on my pop culture but Cybil tells me that this parody of a rather vapid hit song has been banned from KROQ, I’m just amazed that they played it in the first place and nobody was fired immediately.

Map of Tahoe Fire

Map of Tahoe Fire showing damaged & spared properties. One of the more sobering uses of google maps i’ve seen. We were just talking about visiting Tahoe again. Place we stayed last time is on the other side of town, so with any luck once the fire’s contained we can contribute our tourist dollars towards fire recovery.

CSS based 'position: fixed' in Internet Explorer - additions on Gunlaug's homepages

CSS based 'position: fixed' in Internet Explorer–additions on Gunlaug’s homepages

OK, this is somewhat sad, but such is the state of IE. This guy refined my emulating position: fixed; technique, and I am in turn using his IE expression based technique in my own work. I find the expression based technique works better with scrollbars, which can be overcome (see Stuart Nicholls’ Cross browser FIXED) but I find that the expressions play nicer with Jello Molds & Width Control.

Incremental leading : Journal : Mark Boulton

Incremental leading : Journal : Mark Boulton

I was just struggling with this exact same problem! In my case the text size is the same, but the similar differences in measure (width) between the primary content and the sidebar made the leading I was using look ridiculous at such narrow widths. Not knowing any better, I had decided to compromise my line-height to something that looked slightly less bad, but now I've got an official typographical solution. Rock!

Australian Cleavage

Apprehensive Gaze on Flickr (NSFW)

Not generally a boobies fan, but thank you blowfish blog for introducing me to the concept of "Australian" (under) cleavage. The above flickr image is a particularly charming example (for those not in to giant mammaries).

Car Talk: Show Podcast

Car Talk: Show Podcast

Full audio now available, not just call of the week. May or may not be too much discussion of cars for me, but sure is fun hearing those accents from back east.

I've been taking my little portable front-end environment for granted. It certainly makes doing my job and writing blog posts easier, but I haven’t made forward progress in a long time. Would be nice to throw some script hacking into my project diet

HTML Entity Character Lookup › Left Logic

HTML Entity Character Lookup › Left Logic

Coolest HTML entity tool ever! It's super smart at guessing what you're trying to enter. Try typing in "o" or "e" or even "*" (without the quotes). And perhaps the best part, the data driving it is creative commons: entity.data.js
