Technorati

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I claim this Technorati Profile for the Queen of Georgia Drive.

That’s all I have to say about that, but I would also like to say hello some old friends with a CSS hack roundup. There’s the old voice-family Tantek route. There are IE conditional comments. Then there’s * html and *:first-child+html. Finally, this blather.

  • property: value; /* hello erbody */
  • #property: value; /* hello Internet Explorer */
  • _property: value; /* hello Internet Explorer 6, you dog…*/

I consider it a major victory to use none of the above, but I just had to untangle this last one, so I’m slapping this sticky note on my forehead. The octothorpe (#) filter can also be done with a period (.). Fun times.

Don Chambers and GOAT

Congratulations to local musicians Don Chambers and GOAT on a fine redesign. The art Don provided is great and I’m grateful to Jenn for including me on the project.

donchambersmusic.comGiven an atypical navigation, there’s the option of slicing it up crazy and chucking alt values at it. But not for Don, are you kidding? This called for a Staropramen served in an Old Style shot glass. If running around naked with your style sheets disabled is your thing, that’s ok.

Now go buy you some music.
