Let’s face it: as designers and developers, dealing with antiquated browsers sucks. That’s why I’m calling for an International Browser Upgrade Day. It doesn’t matter when we do it, we just need to do it.
It’s official: August 27, 2009 will be International Browser Upgrade Day. and are assisting me in getting a site off the ground for it. More info will be made available soon. Mark your calendars.
If each of us could convince at least one person in our (personal and/or professional) life to upgrade, imagine what we could do to accelerate the demise of browsers like Internet Explorer 6.

If you’re interested in Microformats, do yourself a favor and head over to my friend Emily Lewis’ site A Blog Not Limited. I’ve been played with Microformats for a while, but these informative articles pushed me over the edge:
- Getting Semantic With Microformats, Part 1: rel-based
- Getting Semantic With Microformats, Part 2: XFN
- Getting Semantic With Microformats, Part 3: hCard
- Getting Semantic With Microformats, Part 4: hCalendar
- Getting Semantic With Microformats, Part 5: hAtom
- Getting Semantic With Microformats, Part 6: hResume (coming soon!)
I should also note that my site now incorporates hCard, hCalendar and hAtom. Microformats FTW!

[Thanks TR!] Seriously, though… I could listen to this song on loop over and over and over and… Enjoy. More
