Apparently, Tom Cruise is “the most amazing man in the whole world”. So I guess we can all stop trying so hard now, because this proves it.

In some ways it sucks to buy a house with a garden that requires a LOT of work, especially when you’ve a) never had a garden of your own and b) have two new babies to take care of. Nonetheless, today it is worth it. Some pictures from our garden. Click To Read More...

Jonathan Watt, one of the main Mozilla SVG developers sent me a link to this document which he’s working on to help instruct the world how to write proper SVG which Mozilla+SVG will be able to render. Give it a read and send him some feedback.

By the way, I downloaded the latest Deer Park Alpha Build (Firefox 1.1 Alpha) and it has SVG enabled by default.

As just reported in the IE Blog and in numerous other blogs/newsgroups (here, here, here), apparently installation of Netscape 8 breaks Microsoft Internet Explorer 6’s ability to render XML via XSLT. Could this be the final nail in Netscape Browser’s coffin?

I’ve been pecking a way at this online chat program that I started as an excuse to learn some JavaScript and enhance my PHP skills (as well as get around a certain corporate firewall). It’s coming along nicely. Tonight I added a RSS feed for it so that users can monitor the most recent conversation without having to be constantly logged in.

Yesterday I watched in horror as one of my 14-month old sons toddled over to the door to our office, reached up and started jiggling the doorknob. I sat rooted to the spot with Jacob, holding my breath because I knew that the moment he learned how to turn the doorknob to open the door that our lives would be changed forever. I kept calling him to try and distract him so he’d forget about the door (”Joshua let’s read a book….Joshua where’s Mickey Mouse?….Joshua…Joshua…”), I must have sounded pretty desperate.

Thankfully he eventually wandered away from the door…this time. I guess it’s time we figure out how to childproof the doors beyond simply keeping the doors closed. Little brass hooks installed at 5′ should do it…until my kids learn to stand on each others shoulders…

Oh the times they are a scary…
