My IBSN (Internet Blog Serial Number) is 46-00-43-9745. Of course, I can’t tell if this is a serious undertaking, or a spoof, but the number itself is random. You can choose your own! And you can get a bar code too. Oooohhhh! Update: 2008-01-06 5:45pm: It’s a porn site now, so I removed the link. […]

Web Browser Usage
While cleaning my office, I found some ancient web server logs. I started playing with them and realized I could run a web browser chart to see how popular various web browsers really are. The site these logs are generated from is a small site that is not actively updated any longer. I don’t want […]

“Click Here”
A great article I wish I had written: Why “Click here” is bad linking practice.
