web dreams
Hey, this is my blog. After 7 years with Blogger, I’ve finally moved on. Now I’ve consolidated my old link log and journal into one WordPress blog.
I’ve got too many browser tabs open and not enough time to do anything with them, so here are notes to my future self:
David Shea’s CSS Crib Sheet
there must be something to add from my recent re-design, I make the same stupid mistakes every time I do a CSS layout, now what were they? Don’t […]
ok, so I knew this guy kicked ass, what with his color scheme picker, and FIR varient that I’m using here (not sure if he is original creator of that one) but man, take a look at his css work here: Pixy’s English Homepage.
There’s a super clean 3 column header, footer layout with no […]
simply beautiful asian bondage photography by Steven Speliotis. While you’re trying to find the navigation check out “Peaches” and “The Ropes That Set Me Free”, my favorites. Time for me to re-visit knots.
“Holy crap! Come and look at this! There’s some skanky bitch lying in our bed!”
“Maybe we should eat her.” Said one of the large carnivorous mammals.
“Are you kidding? Have you seen the state of her crotch?”

Of blogging and unemployment
Well now. Time to give the photos page a little cleanup, and maybe even a recent post. Certainly not going to dial down the obscenity, maybe just go a little more anonymous when talking about work.
Here we have it. And with the re-launch i’ve just noticed that blogger finally let’s you make permanent link to posts, so I’ve wrapped an anchor around the timestamps and called it good. Yes, I still use blogger because I’m too cheap to pay more than $5 a month for my basic ftp hosting.
I just have to say that my new Drop-Up Menu kicks a fair amount of ass. This is why:
you can Tab to all the links
fully accessible with or without JS
doesn’t freakin’ disappear if your cursor slips off
it pulls up not down
The only thing that’s really bugging me is getting the subnav gradient background […]
check out the nav on my New Design Prototype. To see something pretty sexy (though it would never survive translation into another language) watch the nav while you enlarge the text in your browser (Ctrl + for Moz users, View > Text Size > Larger in Internet Explorer). It expands up, but not horizontally or […]
Why technical writers should love Microsoft’s Inductive User Interface is an overview and tech writer’s take on this longer article from MSDN who on this rare occasion appear to be submitting a good user interface paradigm. The principle behind IUI is that most screens in a given application leave far too much un-stated, forcing new […]
Rebirth One has begun. Need to wrangle some sliding doors into the admittedly tight frame (which I only get away with by choosing short words).
Then there’s the IE5 box model problem, deciding which hack to use being harder than the actual patch (more on that once I choose one).
I also have a problem where when […]
