A nice way to load offsite content without slowing initial page rendering. And the acronym is kinda cool

"The only graphic designer with roadies"

A NY mag article about Edward Tufte, who I am completely obsessed with. His books on graphic presentation of information are amazing. His next book is supposed to be crazy - all real life physical stuff, not graphics.

I've been dying to go to one of his day long seminars. Anyone up for a road trip?

Painful Internet

At our new place we are sharing the internet connection of the guys downstairs, but the wireless reception is completely painful. It's totally out for about 5 minutes out of every hour, and the rest of the time is really slow - like dialup slow, plus really long latencies. I just ordered a wireless bridge and am praying that that will be my salvation. If not I'll have to buy them a giant antenna to stick on their access point.

Also speaking of utilities, I've been cursing my morning showers because the water hasn't been very hot, but it turned out (e:james) had just turned the thermostat on the water heater way down. At least that is an easy fix :)

Sort of excited

I've been working on a flash card site for learning foreign languages, and I'm really looking forward to making it work with the iPhone. It's the perfect size and seems like a good excuse to try to get (e:james) let me buy one :) (yeah right)

OK and now I spent like 4 hours wondering why my apache rewrite rules were behaving so erratically and of course it was because i forgot to set ''RewriteEngine on'' but strangely some of the rules still were working just fine.

All of the stuff I know about Apache I have learned painfully. It's just that sort of a beast.
