Getting Local with Twitter
Recently I started an experiment on Twitter. I know that I’m not the only web/design geek in the area, so I decided to use Twitter to get to know some folks in the area. Using Twitter’s people search, I looked for people in and around Augusta, GA. The result? I’m not alone, and while Twitter use in and around Augusta is next to null, there are some pretty interesting folks that I’m glad I decided to follow.What next? Well, my hope is that Twitter will grow in popularity in the area and it’ll be a means to growing a real life social network/community here in the area. Right now the tech/creative community is rather fragmented and the only organization that caters (sort of) to us is the Augusta Advertising Federation. Its focus tends to be more traditional media-centric. There is also the newly formed Augusta Developers Guild, but it’s focusing more on Software Developers/Programmers.

Today’s almost over, but since I was asked about it… Today (April 9th) is CSS Naked Day. This is the second year I’ve participated. To know more about why styles are disabled on this website visit the
Annual CSS Naked Day website for more information. (I’d write more… but I’m on vacation right now.) -

One-Way Street
One-Way Street. Very well articulated and something I’ve thought about myself a number of times.

Video Comments
Let the Viddler lovefest continue, I say! I’ve just incorporated Viddler video comments into my site, so if you’d like to respond visually instead of typing out a response, feel free. (Or you can do both.)

Lil’ Flow Rida
My son trips me out sometimes. Here he can be found “singing” along with “Flow Rida”. As a side note, this is my first time uploading something to Viddler. It’s a great service that’s really innovative! when it comes to video tagging, commenting, and more.

WebKit, Opera pass Acid3 Test
WebKit achieves Acid3 100/100 in public build. This is big news for one reason: the build is publicly available. Opera has an internal build available which passes the Acid test.
