[Display Tag] Now we're talking... We're starting to get some real activity over on the display tag library project. I have to admit, I've done nothing - which is why it's even cooler that other folks are. Mathias joined the team and went on a rampage squashing bugs and formatting code. Then along came a guy named Fabrizio (no blog) who re-wrote the whole thing ~ demo. Even better - it's XHTML and CSS compliant.

There's even an editable table prototype being looked at. John York (no blog) has also done a lot in re-writing the library, and has his own version that I'm hoping to post soon. Nice work gents!

A nice quote ...this year's J1 taught me that "home" is not a place, but a feeling. (That's so '82!)

I couldn't have said it better myself. It's why I'm so pumped to visit the cabin for the 4th. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures...
