zdashamber: painting - a frog wearing a bandanna (Default)
I've been thinking about updating my webpages (after, oh... You know, like um four or five years), and with a sigh I decided that I supposed it was about time I joined this millenium and learned CSS. After all, the Annotated Amber cries out to be a wiki, and most wikis look like something the dog shat, and then ate, and then puked up on the clean towels you'd set out for your guests who will be arriving in 15 minutes. I'm given to understand that the answer is CSS.

Now, the trouble with CSS is that its missionaries are fervent snobs, a great many of whom also have terrible aesthetics. I suppose I'm ranting more about usability than aesthetics here )

A gorgeous page that is everything I desire in a website )

A snob who is also a fool )

A pretty good CSS book )

A wild-eyed conspiracy theory about Microsoft doing evil to Firefox )

Other thoughts, potentially wild-eyed )

A bit of ranting about mice, and the Mac users that love them )

...And a woodcut )

OMG! The ATC music video for "Around the World" is crazy awesome! I mean, so. very. silly. Germans dancing around in Ikea-colored skintight 70s clothes, cars, hair...

I was looking for the song title for that last post... (I confess, almost all of the "current music" entries are playing only in my head.) It was troublesome since the song isn't prominent for its lyrics. "Around the World" kept dragging up Oasis, even with "na na na" added. Finally "it goes around the world like" brought back 4 results, 1 unrelated, 1 myspace, 1 blog, and 1 from some random forum. I tried the myspace/blog links first to no avail, but now I've learned: forums are goldmines for answering questions like this.

the relevant conversation )

I mean, seriously, love. Random teenagers talking about stuff I don't understand with atrocious grammar and spelling... But it's got damnfine content. The "why CSS" guys could learn something. (I oughtta mention, in case you hadn't guessed yet, that my previous post is very long and rather ranty, albeit hopefully entertaining.)
