"they stagger and stumble and soil themselves, bringing shame to their families and eventually losing their place in society" pg162
He's talking about how some browsers aren't aware of/haven't kept up with web standards - more specifically how some can't interpret XML prolog. (Why do they call it prolog when its at the beginning of the document?)
Sometimes reading is hard, like when an author's voice is so annoying or opinions so strong you can't listen and think for yourself at the same time. Ugh - hate that. But this is honest straight forward - kinda like how to use glue.
Good book.

16 Things - Deadline Unmet
So, as fabulously pure as my intentions were,
this blog of mine wasn't done on time.

Thing #10: More with Flickr
Wow -
there's a lot of cool toys out there.
I think part of the challenge is learning how to use them while not being too picky about everything else being perfect. For example, right now, I wanted to put up an image from one of the 'bighugelabs' toys, but it didn't fit into the 'feel' of my blog. So, I know HOW to do it, but I don't know how to make it cohesive with the rest of my work just yet.
So, the other part of the challenge is finding who you are and what your design style will be or is. I look forward to finding it!!!

Random Note
I'm getting lost with all my usernames/passwords and what websites I like for what. Is there going to be a thing coming up to manage this???
Thing #9: Photosharing with Flickr
My favorite blog is http://www.veerle.duoh.com. I like it for a lot of reasons, one of which her integration of Flickr into her web page. She takes a lot of cool pictures and uploads her graphic design projects into her stash of photos.
One of the things I wonder about is how to differentiate and deal with the personal pictures; for example pictures of Makenna's first swimming lessons. Maybe that's the line in the sand between personal and professional? I dunno. Still trying to work the kinks of having a kid and a career.

Thing 7: Online Collaboration Tools
I've fallen in love with Google Calendar.
I'm always online and when I'm online I'm always signed into my email at google. So, when an important new thing happens, I can immediately input it into my computer where it remains stored. No post-its everywhere or scribbled out dates on a paper calendar. Yay!
But, the best part of it is being able to share it with he-who-shall-not-be-named that is the co-parent of my three year old daughter. I used to have the worst time talking to him about scheduling. He'd be rattling off dates and I'd have no visual in front of me and blah blah blah.... but now, I've made a parenting schedule, we share it online and he emails me questions. The uncomfortable face to face time eliminated. GO TEAM ANNETTE!
