10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

OS X Treats from Forwarding Address: OS X

I found the community blog of Forwarding Address: OS X this afternoon, which appears to be maintained and updated by 17 different bloggers. A pretty cool idea and (hopefully) a reason for frequent updates, to satisfy my blog-reading addiction. I discovered a whole bunch of goodies:

  • Patrick, you're not the last one to know how to speed up Finder - I am.
  • How to colorize emacs doesn't help me, but does make me wonder how I can get colors to show up in my Terminal window. When I ssh into my Red Hat machine, I get different colors for executables, folders, etc. - maybe this is a Linux thing.
  • Virtual Desktop and TigerLaunch - installed and loving them both!

If any of you are eagerly awaiting my Wiki Review (I doubt it), I haven't forgot about it - just lost motivation for it. No need == no motivation.

Building Accessible Websites

Joe Clark’s Building Accessible Websites is now shipping. I was one of the technical editors for this book; having read it thoroughly, twice, I can assure you that it is the most comprehensive and most well-written web accessibility book in existence. Every web designer should read it. If you can only afford one web accessibility book, buy Joe’s book. (If you can afford two, buy Joe’s book and Jim’s book, reviewed here.) [dive into mark]

Since I'm a web designer (bold added by me), I've added this book to My Wish List at Amazon. I will buy and read after I've finished the Photoshop Bible, Photoshop Classroom in a Book and JSTL in Action. Maybe. I might also just choose to read the next Harry Potter to my daughter instead.

Good CSS Designs

Scott Andrew lists his favorite CSS Designs and also points out some great CSS templates. This site got its original CSS inspiration from glish.com and I've also used Blue Robot's techniques on my current project.
