Out of Egypt:

Other than a bit of guilt at being away from work, I have loved my trip to Funke Colorado. Sand dunes, Punch Bowls, and other natural phenomena lacking in the northeast have made for an ideal holiday.

Sarah is, as usual, the official chronicler of our travels, but I feel I should say something...if only so I wouldn't get even farther behind in the number of blog entries.

Gossip gives all the pleasures of censoriousness without any of the responsibilities of virtue.

I love spontaneously busting a groove under the spiraling lights illuminating Cambridge Town Hall.

Oh, and reading my poetry at CtK was good too :)

In theory: an elegant language for describing how web pages should look. Everyone's favorite way to Separate Semantics from Presentation ^TM.

In practice: a giant hassle. A torture device for the graphically inclined. The gateway to bland fonts, boxy layouts, and browser quirks galore. The source of endless tedium that pleases no one but web standards geeks who like to show their superiority over everyone else.

The Web will not be a mature graphical medium until it has its own InDesign.
