Is it Finally Time to Ditch IE 6?
It’s no secret that those of us who do professional web design/development despise Internet Explorer 6. With IE 7 out for a while and IE 8 on the horizon, more and more leading companies and web folk are pressing ahead and dropping / degrading support for the ancient browser.
With Firefox share steadily rising and standards-champions Opera and Safari readily available, is it time for us as modern web designers/developers to press the issue and speed up adoption of modern browsers by no longer supporting Internet Explorer 6?

Sewer Water with a Lemon
So I like to keep tabs on the web design jobs at Craigslist, as every now and then an interesting freelance gig pops up. Or I’ll come across a job post that might interest one of my friends.
But I also keep tabs on the web design jobs at Craigslist because the services most people post listings for are ridiculously out of line with what they expect to pay.

The I'm Not Dead Link Cop Out
Uhhhhhm… whoops? Probably nobody else in the tubes would follow up two of their most linked up posts with almost two months of silence.
But quite a bit has happened in the last two months, such as starting a new job and my freelancing email account having a catastrophic fail right as I was attempting my return to freelance work. Suffice to say my routine was thrown into a tailspin, I spent too much time working on other projects (foreshadow!) and adjusting to a hell of a (temporary) commute.

The Apps I Use
I’m pretty sure it’s borderline illegal for an Apple geek with a website to not write about the applications they use frequently, so here goes. And, since I always find myself recommending programs to friends when they make the switch now I can just point them here.
And since I’m a total voyeur when it comes to other people’s writing on what they’re using (or reading), I figured it’s only fair to turn the spotlight on myself. Just about all of these apps I use at least once a week, and I omitted the obvious such as iTunes, iPhoto, Calculator, TextEdit and Word. I broke my list down to three main functions; Communication, Utilities, and Development. Listed alphabetically since I’d be up all night trying to order them by any kind of rank.

Cleveland, Meet Web Standards
It is my great pleasure to announce that the brand spankin’ new website for the Cleveland Web Standards Association is all systems go.
Handshakes, accolades and applause to Brad Dielman, who designed and coded (with a few tweaks here and there by me) our new home on the web.
