Ethan Marcotte now blogs at Unstoppable Robot Ninja.

Weblog entry:

Ethan’s back. Back again.

Recently added to the list of Things I Must Do Before Kicking It: live in England for an extended (i.e., greater than 7 days) period of time. I’ve already given up on this blog post accurately capturing just how much fun I had — hopefully, the pictures will do the trip some justice.

And you guessed it: as with everything else that I mention on this site, the pictures are forthcoming. Just putting the finishing touches on a CMS for ‘em. Really, I am. Go away.

So what happened while I was gone? Let’s recap:

  • New York and Boston both lost their minds. Soon we’ll be drinking nothing but Sprite in our bars.
  • Mozilla publishes a new development roadmap — possibly a Very Good Thing. IE pretends to care, and web UI development still doesn’t make any sense.
  • The internet produced yet another website that makes me want to simultaneously laugh and cry.
  • Via Eric Meyer: the best damn set of bookmarklets available. I wholeheartedly recommend shell, test styles and ancestors.

A solid week, all things considered. Nicely done, Internet. Good job. <doles out a cookie>

Just came back from a presentation by Dave Winer over at Harvard, where he’s currently evangelizing the use of blogs (and, I’m sure, Manila) as a powerful education tool. His first efforts seem impressive — it’ll be interesting to see how well Harvard’s tech community (which still thinks ColdFusion and Web Crossing are Pretty Cool Ideas) takes to it. Rock on, Mr. Winer.

Comments

Hooray, technical difficulties.

There’s a WordPress issue that’s currently preventing old comments from displaying correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully we’ll be back online soon.
