Ah, the beauty of styling web pages with Cascading Style Sheets. But it brings such pain. I was banging my head against my monitor again today, trying to put together two simple pages. After three hours of that I wiped my tears away, blew my nose, and returned to blogging.
These are the things that bother […]

Earlier this week I requested a SearchFox account. SearchFox is an RSS reader that watches how you read your feeds then uses machine learning to figure out what new articles you might like best. I was a little frustrated that I didn’t receive an email back and figured it might be my Web 1.0 yahoo.com […]

I now follow more than 100 feeds via Bloglines. That’s too many to give the good posts the attention they need or even to find the good posts. Some of the feeds I subscribe to are feeds-of-feeds, like digg and reddit, so that adds another level of overload onto my overtaxed neural connections. I consume […]

Google Pack, a “free collection of essential software,” makes me imagine a thousand little executable soldiers creeping onto my hard drive, preparing for a total takeover of my machine in 2006. I won’t be trying it but Improbulus offers a thorough review.

I’m going to take another self-indulgent moment as I continue to populate the Who Is Anne list in my sidebar. Doing it this way, by making a Blogger post, means that my bio area will always be formatted just like the rest of the site. This is the beauty of content management, a beauty I […]

So what about blogrolls? Are they:
A great way to pull new bloggers into the conversation?
Divisive and arbitrarily exclusive?
Potentially, and with some extensions, a way to share with others how we are directing our attention?
I didn’t do a blogroll until I’d been blogging for well over a year. I couldn’t put into words exactly why… it […]

“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing”
—Isaiah Berlin in The Hedgehog and the Fox
I’m a fox. I am endlessly fascinated by studying new subjects and by making bridges across the gaps between those subjects I know. I could never write a know-it-all book or blog about one single subject because […]

I’m trying out Johan Sundstrom’s Tag, Bookmark & Ping Greasemonkey script that allows me to add delicious tags to my Blogger posts for categorization purposes. It’s not going to look very pretty until I style the added list of categories.
