- "The solution for achieving this is devilishly simple – just use the carriage return entity in your title attribute."
- Mark Pilgrim's updated list of essential software. I think my list is substantially shorter, but basically the same. Emacs + Firefox gets me about 95% of the way.(tags: software)
- Finally, this doesn't 404! :)
- Often-used forms should be as streamlined as possible; infrequently used forms should be as clear as possible.

I am SICK, SICK, SICK of web desingers' "small, light-gray-on-white text" agenda. (Here's the latest example.) These low-contrast sites have TAINTED the Matrix. Your question is hereby REJECTED.
