The web is going nuts over Jesse Jame’s Garrett’s latest essay on Ajax web apps, and I blogged it myself, if a bit tangentially …
But I was thinking tonight as I was revisiting the concept and turning it around in my head: how would I feel about this if I was Macromedia? Not too happy!
In […]

Speaking as a Canadian of relatively recent European descent, Europe is really ticking me off these days.
What’s bugging me? European hunger to sell methods of killing people to China.
Maybe I’m just stupid. But I have this impression that Europe thinks it’s a kinder, gentler place than, for instance, the US of A. That’s, at least, […]

Ajax applications (Asynchronous Javascript + XML) are the hottest topic du jour, due to Jesse Jame Garrett’s essay on the topic a few days ago.

Love it!

I’m currently in the Master of Educational Technology program at UBC, and was doing some research on a paper tonight.
And I just found a nice new method ….

It looks like Apple is dropping its lawsuits against Think Secret and other Mac-oriented websites.
Thanks for doing the right thing!

Apparently, Orbitz does not allow deep linking, or linking to pages on their site other than the home page.
Umm, do we really need more reasons to string up all the laywers? How dumb can people get?
