Emily (pictured) and I are leaving this evening for our annual trip to Cape Cod. We’ll be gone for a whole glorious week, hanging out on the beach and drinking beers. I can already smell the ocean. See everyone in a week!
I came across a post (via Daring Fireball) by Joel Spolsky regarding comments below blog posts. While I think that he sort of misrepresented Dave Winer’s post about blogs (Dave’s post was about what it means to be a blog, and the fact that having comments don’t make a blog), Joel does bring up some interesting points about comments:
Judging is underway for the latest CSSOFF contest, so, as promised, here’s my entry, and here’s the jpeg of the initial file we got. As I said before, I’m pretty happy with the results. Here are my thoughts on this entry.
I’ve finally finished with my cssoff entry. I worked on it from 1am till about 8am, and then a couple hours this afternoon ironing out browser (read: Internet Explorer) bugs. I’m pretty happy with what I ended up with though.
The second round of CSS OFF starts tonight at midnight CST (which would be 1: 00 AM for us Clevelanders). If you didn’t hear about it already, CSS OFF is a monthly contest to create the best single web page. They give you a .psd and 24 hours, and you have to come up with the best standards-based solution using images, css, and (x)html. I entered in the first contest, and had a great time (here’s my entry). It’s just pure fun. If you win, you can either take $30, or donate $50 to a charity of your choice. The first winner, Dawid Lizak, chose a charity, as I’m sure most will.
I’m on my own tonight, so I’m planning on staying up late and working on it till it’s done. (:
One of my goals for this website was to use it as a vehicle not only for web dev stuff, but also for art. So, here is the first set of images. This is a collection of landscapes that I’ve done over the past year; some in conjunction with class, others on my own time. These were all made with my old Minolta digital camera and Photoshop.
