I was browsing the Sitepoint forums trying to get some ideas about what I could write about when I came across a thread that talked about major sites using CSS. Half-way down the page I come across this statement:
Tables are so much [...]
Whew, just got done with the 9rules Round 4 list and I need a bit of Friday fun since it is Friday. So I figured it would be cool to hear some client horror stories since I am indirectly experiencing one right now (remember I don’t do client work anymore). If you got a horror [...]
Does anyone truly work on the weekends? I know the 9rules crew does some work and it seems easier to get work done on the weekends because there is no pressure. During the weekday I feel like there are a million things that need to get done at once, but on the weekend I tend [...]
Amateur is not below professional. It’s just another way of doing [media]. The root of the word amateur is love, and someone who does something for love is an amateur.

*Note: I only left my room about four times my entire time in Austin this year due to illness so my thoughts are only based on the few experiences that I had with people. I am going back to the hospital, but I know I will forget to write this if I don’t do it [...]
Friday I leave for Austin to attend SXSW. I will be talking to a lot of people because people like to ask the naked guy questions and I find that it’s better to answer those questions than ignore them. In any case for those of you who can’t go or are too scared to ask [...]
Whitespace is a conversational site. It’s a site where you get to see the business side of Scrivs so to speak. Things might get heated every once in a while, but it will always be a bit timid. Nothing wrong with that, but that’s not really the type of person I am.
