I haven’t shared random bits of Internet with you for months. That changes right now.
Technology
- IEContentLoaded – An alternative for DOMContenloaded on Internet Explorer
A better solution than the deferred <script> technique I was using. I’ve already wrapped it into our internal library.
- Digital Web Magazine – Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong
A great, if not ready for pime time, layout technique. Going back to the future by using the table-based display types for your grids. Party like it’s (a standards compliant) 1999.
- JavaScript and screen readers
If you care about such things (and you really should you know.)
- Google Analytics Blog: More Enterprise-Class Features Added To Google Analytics
I’m being driven a little nuts waiting for some of these to be rolled out. The AdSense integration is especially interesting to me, but almost all of them will get used in one way or another (either here or at work.)
Music
- I am old, I remember when all of this was going on
Start here:
Obscure Roxanne battle records fortnight part 1:and finish here:
Roxanne Battle Records - Jeff Mangum has been spotted in the wild. Here he is playing “Engine” last week in Columbus, Ohio. If he’d show up at the Boston version of this show, I’d still be kicking myself right now for missing it. He sounds great.
Sports
- Ivan Basso is back and wasted no time getting back into the swing of things. Just days after finishing his suspension the Italian finished third at the Japan Cup, behind the Little Prince.
- Speaking of Basso, the former Giro winner is focusing his whole return season on La Corsa Rosa this year. No surprise there.
Know who else is eying the Giro? None other than American Lance Armstrong…
Which means the Giro will be nuts this year. The Italian press was going to be there in droves anyway, covering Basso’s return with real intensity. Now, with Lance showing up with his sights on winning, the rest of the world will be there as well.
It will be a zoo.
Can’t wait.
- How must it feel to be one of those fans in Indianapolis or New York who cheered when Tom Brady went down in the first game of the season. So far both teams are looking up at the Patriots. I’m wondering if that’s the result they expected when Brady went down?
It’s been a very interesting season so far.
- With the Red Sox, the Yankees and the Rays all in the same division there’s a chance that the three best teams in baseball could all be in the same division one year and only one of them would make the playoffs.
Nutty, I know, but imagine the three teams cannibalize themselves going 10-9 in their respective season series and in a weaker division the second place team swoops in to steal the Wild Card.
That’ll do for now. More later.
