IE quirk, web management, Lt3 blogs

Today someone pointed out a really odd font display in windows XP and IE 6. Seems the font sizes are displaying as large (body text was nearly the same size as the 28pt graphic text). I have not seen it before and couldn’t reproduce it with the same settings, but if anyone notices the web development site being odd in IE please let me know. I tend to think it has something to do with the percentages but sheesh. While on the topic of odd IE things, check out Quirky percentages in IE6 from poisitioniseverything.net which says nothing about font sizes but loads about box model fun.
Two decent articles popped up today that were rather interesting… IT is from Mars; web content is from Venus and Is communications up to running intranet? They probably deserve some comment but I will let the articles speak for themselves.
…and finally. Just before lunch today I had the pleasure of sitting in on a LT3 presenation on blogging and wiki’s. It was really encouraging to hear the whispers in the room and the ideas being tossed about. Lt3 has set up an experiemental blog (but i won’t link to it, if you want to check it out let me know) and another follow-up session in April-ish. I think there was but one tool missing in the suite of web apps available to educators… but that is an idea better explored in its own post ;) Could be I was sore this blog wasn’t mentioned..
