Haggis Virgin

Until last night, I’d never tried haggis and never really wanted to. But, we went to a lovely Scottish restaurant last night (“we” being Arun, Bert Bos, Chaals, Chris Lilley, Shawn, Carolie, Richard Ishida, Thomas and Liam – they were all here for the W3C AC Rep meeting), and they had haggis as an appetizer. […]

Another Little Movie

Edinburgh Travelogue Day One & Two

Since Jen asked, here’s what I’ve done/seen so far: Since my hotel room wasn’t ready when I got in, I wandered around the High Street area, and got a lovely cup of soup in a little cafe. I walked by a bunch of interesting shops that were closed because it was Sunday. Today, I walked […]

Edinburgh Day One

It’s cold and rainy in Edinburgh and the hotel wi-fi sucks. I think I’m almost done with my presentations for this week and I’ve already registered for the conference and hit a grocery store (disappointingly, they didn’t have Smarties, Kinder Eggs or orange Lilt). I watched Top Gear on real TV and caught the UK […]

Ack!

What about a Pop Tart in the dryer?

From The Salon article about The OC finale: every scene with [Mischa Barton] in it had a way of reminding you that you had a Pop Tart in the toaster or laundry in the dryer.\ I have absolutely no idea what this means, but I kind of love it anyway. Mischa has been soooo bad […]

WWW2006 and Me

I’m headin’ to Scotland tomorrow for WWW2006, where I’ll be presenting twice: Writing CSS for Syndicated Content A Microformat Proposal for Interoperable Widgets\ Neither is 100% done (that’s what the plane ride is for, right?), although the “proof” widget for the cross-platform widgets is done (and it looks good because Cindy designed it). It’ll be […]

Speaking of crappy tv…

Here is some kiddie TMI. Max has been having a frequent urination problem for the last month. He has to go about every 10 minutes and it is causing a lot of problems. His poor teacher has called me three times about it. I took him to the doctor immediately after the first call, but […]

TV is cooler than real life

Studio 60 Preview looks awesome! Slide over, Grey’s Anatomy. You’ve got some competition headin’ your way. Too bad there are four decent things on Thursdays at 9pm. Can’t The Powers That Be spread out the good shows a little? Sheesh.\ The CW video montage looks like a big pile of teen cheese. (And can you […]

AIM Pages and Safari

I’ve seen this now a couple places, and figured I’d comment on it (not in an official way, but in a “I feel your pain” way). The current falderal is about AIM Pages and Safari and how it doesn’t work yet. We tried, honest we did. But, Safari has certain “issues” with its DOM support […]
