Bears eat those who don’t follow web standards
It has been a busy week, it’s 7:32pm (ok so I posted it Friday but it was written Thursday) and I am writing in this thing. But that is the price to be paid for going away for a week (more on that in another post). Enjoy this weeks collection.
- Microsoft’s worst nightmare delves into a little history of Firefox and it’s potential to be that platform independant environment Microsoft so fears. This brings up an interesting idea – could someone make a Firefox extension that can connect to myWaterloo, QUEST, and JobMine? It’s likely possible.
- E-Government: No website is better than a bad one and that about says it all.
- Creativity vs. Standard Layouts dives into a rant about people saying a web design is not original cause it ‘looks like
.’ Sorry folks but things look like blogs but blogs took their look from evolution. Jacob Neilson could have his usable web yet 
- Ivan will teach you a lesson. Just check it out, secrets of good design.
- Wicked cool tables. Could even say hella cool
- Common PHP mistakes. Oh ya.
- A prof is looking at repetitive strain here on campus. Now I can attest to the strain of a bad chair…
- More for that web production maturing theme. Really though, it makes sense.
- Intro to databases. Digital-web is just a great place. Wondering what this My Sequal is?
- Finally – What is a web standard? Good question. I used the analogy today of: It is a guideline to not sleep in the bush (woods, forest) with food in your pockets or a bear might eat you, web standards are those type of guidelines. They just make sense… and they could stop a bear from eating you.
Now on to cleaning this office out of things that might leave a funkey surprise come next Friday.
