Enjoying the full-artillery-barrage energy our neighborhood always brings to the 4th of July. Keeping the garden hose nearby…

Rounded the week out with a lovely little backyard party with friends. Never let me forget how perfect Chicago is in the summertime.

Small website improvements corner: fiddled with the markup with microformats in mind. Should be a bit easier to pluck out locations, dates, and other attributes now, even though I think we’ve all given up on such things long ago.

Really feeling nostalgic for the web standards community I came up in: reading Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer and flipping through the CSS Zen Garden and thinking about progressive enhancement and polyfills.

We’ve just made everything so much more complicated and lost so much empathy. Computers can be fun when you use them to make things easier!

I am in a mood apparently!
