A New Blog Tool
I have been secretly looking for a PHP-based blogging tool for a few months now. I Love Radio, and many things about it are truly awesome, but I don't want to learn Frontier scripting and I'd like to extend my blog a bit with PHP code.
“Scott” pointed to a new blogging tool from Textism. This might be just what I have been waiting for. I can hardly wait!!

Marketing for Women
“John” provides a great explanation of marketing terms as related to a woman at a party. If you've ever struggled with the differences between “Marketing” and “Advertising” – this is as easy as it gets.
You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, “I'm fantastic in bed.”
— That's Direct Marketing.

Safari is out – Chimera is back in
Well, I can honestly say that I tried. In doing some development work, it appears that Safari has some issues with my table structures. Oddly enough, IE, Chimera, and Netscape (on all applicable platforms) don't have this issue.
I know, it's still a beta, but I can't have these odd renderings like iCab, Opera, and OmniWeb often provided. I'll go back to Chimera. After all, it wasn't like I was unhappy with what I had – just always looking for something better.

But Wait – Safari is 1/2 Way There!!
I just went through the preferences (why didn't I think of this before). There is an option to block pop-ups!!
Oh, Apple – if you only knew!!
Bless you – now, just deliver a tabbed-browser environment and I'll learn to do a cartwheel!!
First Post From Safari
Well, before the closing music was done with the MWSF keynote, I had downloaded a copy of Safari. It really is the fastest browser I've used yet. The interface is great and very responsive. There are 2 things that may keep it from immediately replacing Chimera on my F-key list:
Apple, PLEASE fix these two things and my heart (and wallet) will continue to be yours.
Another “Verisign Sucks” Story
Ben's story about how Verisign raked him over the coals is why it amazes me that Verisign has such a lock on the web market. I too was very pleased when new registrars started popping up. You can read my tale of torture from a few months ago and how I made the switch. If you think you are immune to domain issues, don't think it's a matter of “if” but a matter of “when.”
