The Google StreetView car was recently spotted by a friend of mine driving around here in Shepparton. It was apparently a black sedan, pole camera on the roof, Google magnet logo on the door. It’s unknown whether they’re taking photos of the Shepparton area (which is unlikely, but would be ubercool) or whether it’s just [...]

Apparently I look a bit like Jonathan Snook.
At Web Directions, it was mentioned to me by no less than three separate people that I kinda look like the man. In fact, the first one of these people came up to me during the morning tea break, shook my hand and said with a big smile [...]
This is being posted 12 months late, and nobody will probably read this, but I thought it would be good to keep if only for my own reference. Here are the notes I took during Web Directions 07, found in some obscure folder on my MacBook. It seems I didn’t take notes for every session, [...]
Not really a workshop per se, but the W3C SIG day where various working groups presented a look into what they were up to, and where they were headed. I’ve had bugger-all to do with W3C and it’s inner workings so I was intrigued as to what they actually did. In retrospect however, I should [...]
I was going to give the live blogging thing a go this year, but due to the lack of wifi here at the Powerhouse Museum, I decided to just take a few notes from Andy’s workshop from time to time, then collate them into something to post at the end of the day. This worked [...]

Among the voices heard [...]
That’s right. Apple has shocked-and-awed me by announcing that as of the current version (3 Beta), Safari is now available for download as a native Windows application. Well, when I say native, it still looks like it’s just a screenshot of an OSX app, gun-metal grey chrome and all. I wish it looked a [...]
Eric Meyer has written an informed piece about how styling forms with CSS is the bane of our existence. Okay, well maybe that’s a bit extreme, but we’ve still got a long way to go until we can fully control the appearance of our web forms (without the use of javascript, that is).
While on the [...]
