Top 10 IE7 Annoyances

Chris Pirillo has blogged his Top 10 IE7 annoyances. I agree with his points but one must keep in mind that he is critiquing beta software. Despite this, it is good to make these points while it’s still in beta and can (possibly) be fixed.

Jon Stweart on The Internet According to Senator Ted Stevens

I read about Senator Ted Stevens’ description of the Internet as “a series of tubes” last week but had been avoiding blogging about it due to the sheer lunacy of the speech he gave. However, yesterday someone told me that Jon Stewart had covered it on The Daily Show and I’ve found the video on YouTube. So, here it is:

What Can U Plug Into a USB?

This past week in Iowa I presented “What Can U Plug Into a USB” six times in two locations. (PPT available soon, I left it on my laptop at home.) The photo shows all of the items I had with me to pass around. (The version in flickr contains notes naming everything for those interested.) For the attendees of the sessions I ran a contest to guess which of the items presented were fictitious. I don’t know who won yet, but I did promise to post the answer here…

There was only one fictitious device in my presentaion and that was the George Foreman iGrill. Yes, everything else I showed was real, believe it or not, including the lava lamp.

As soon as Michelle lets me know who won the copy of XHTML and CSS Essentials for Library Web Design I’ll post that information to the blog.

Also, I have scheduled a WebLive version of this presentation through BCR for the morning of Friday, September 29th, 2006. Watch the BCR site for registration information. (Everyone is welcome, but seats are limited so BCR members will receive priority registration.)

One other note for those that were wondering about my trip home: I did make it to the airport on time to check in for my flight but due to the VERY stormy weather, we didn’t end up taking off until 8:10pm. Pictures of the storm and all of the other pictures from the trip can be found in my flickr account.
