Supernova 2006, AIM Pages and Microformats

Special delivery!

I ordered Chinese food for dinner tonight and when I opened the door to collect it, there was a bouquet of flowers waiting for me. They were sent by my husband’s work thanking me for lending him to them during all of those late nights and weekends.\ So thanks, husband’s work, for the flowers! It […]

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 […]

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 […]

Green!! House!! Widget!!!

In other news, the two dashboard widgets I built last year and never got to release are up on the new AOL Greenhouse. When I get some more time, I might build some more. They’re not really polished (remember, I’m not a designer), but they work. If someone wants to give me a swanky design […]

AIM Pages

We’ve launched!! Hooray!! You can go check it out for yourself over here. If you want to create a profile, you can do that too. All you need is an AIM screen name (and who doesn’t have one of those?) to get started.\ This project has been more fun than anything else I’ve done in […]

Dear Everyone At Work

Please stop sending me mail. I haven’t caught up from yesterday’s 330 to get to the 100 that have already come in since 8AM. Just stop. Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow.\ I would ask you to call, but since I just moved to a new desk, I don’t have one. So, just […]

Conferences, Conferences

Just a little reminder… I’ll be moderating the How to Convince Your Company to Embrace [Web] Standards at SxSW 2006 next Tuesday. If you’re going to be at the conference, please show up, even if it’s just to heckle. We’ll have our presentation online by the time we actually sit down to give the panel […]

Mountain View: Day One Recap

Yes, I am in Mountain View, and I really wish I had more time to see all my friends out here (I’m especially bummed about not having time to hang out with my brother, his wife, and Sam. It’s just a two day trip, and it’s chock full of meetings, all about this. We did […]

Announcing I Am Alpha

I can finally reveal what I’ve been working on for the past couple months that’s making me write all this javascript. It’s I Am Alpha, something kind of new and interesting for AOL. Why? AOL doesn’t do public development. We’re usually very close-lipped about what’s going on with a product. We just launch stuff on […]
