And this article about his presentation from the In Control conference in Hawaii does nothing to change that!

I don’t know that these CSS features would make me any more likely to buy a book, but it’s pretty cool CSS nonetheless!
Okay, Form Follows Function is just fun to play with, never mind how fantastic all the tech is!
And finally, I have never been a gamer, but the closest I ever came was a few-month-period where I pushed a LOT of quarters into any Pac-Man machine I could find. Thusly, I found Not Pac-Man to be quite entertaining…
