Todd Dominey has blogged: Internet Explorer no longer bundled with OS X . Ahem, excuse me while I do the happy dance. :dance: Even more good news is that Microsoft fonts still included . All this good news is making me dizzy.

Yet another welcome aid to the world of web developers, I present to you the CSS Cheat Sheet by Dave Child for your CSS coding needs.

I saw The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy this past friday and I loved it. Mostly because I read the books, I think, and it was fun to catch things that I had forgotten were in the book. There was only one thing I could complain about and that was the Vogons.

Now, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop did an amazing job in bringing these aliens to life–larger than life. However, when I saw the Vogons walking around I didn’t get a sense that they had any weight. To my eyes, they walked about with a little too much spring in their step and given how large they were, it didn’t make sense to me physically.

But other then that I loo-oooved the movie. I’m this close to seeing it again.
