min-height 04/25/2004 04:38 PM

I have implemented support for min-height and max-height. The footers example on alistapart works now. I've also been fixing bugs with table cells and percentage height children, so that elements inside cells with percentage heights will flex properly.

I still haven't done min/max-width/height for positioned elements though. That's all that remains, and then support for it will be complete.

After one too many times wistfully wishing I could scale fixed-size elements according to their content in a cross-browser friendly way, I did something about it. Presenting min-height, without the min-height.

AP - At age 33, Leonid Stadnik wishes he would stop growing. He's already 8 feet, 4 inches. Recent measurements show that Stadnik is already 7 inches taller than Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest living man. He's also gaining on the 8-11 Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in history.

Who wants to marry a Kucinich? "I think we're in a day in age when partnerships are imperative to making anything happening in the world. And I certainly want a dynamic, out-spoken woman who was fearless in her desire for peace in the world and for universal single-payer health care and a full employment economy. If you are out there call me." -- Dennis Kucinich, Nov 5, 2003

Current U.S. Nuclear Spending Equal to
Height of Cold War 04/27/2004 08:21 PM
Slate reports that the United States is currently spending $6.5 billion dollars a year on nuclear arms. Adjusted for inflation, this number is only equalled by spending during the Reagan Era at the Height of the Cold War. The Bush Administration is requesting a record high of $6.8 billion for next year.

Klings's Korollaries 

Suits and Geeks is Arnold Kling's latest, and a complement to World of Ends.

Arnold lists Five Clues for Geeks:

Intermediaries add value Property is not evil Computer animation is not a killer application Bashing Microsoft does not make you smart Markets are not exploitative

Lots to talk about there.

A question 

So I've been talking to some companies here in Toronto, and a question has comed up for which I don't have a ready answer:

What companies blog?

Specifically, what companies maintain corporate blogs, either as home pages or as main features of their Web sites? I'm not in the best position to check, but maybe ya'll can help a little. It would be a good list to come up with in any case (if there isn't one already).

[Later...] Some answers have been coming in:

Macromedia has a bunch (see the list on the left) of blogging executives (e.g. Kevin Lynch, who writes helpfully about working at the company, among other things). Its site also has lots of product forums.

Jupiter Research, which links every analyst's weblog (there are eleven) from the home page. Jupiter also hosts ClickZ Weblog Business Strategies, a conference held in Boston this June. Dave, Davi d and other leading local bloggers will speak there. (How about more links in the brochure pages, hmm?)

Groove (though Ray seems to be awol... hope he gets back into the groove, pun intended).

Trellis (Dan blogs).

Starpoint (the home page is a blog).

Immunexa, which hasn't had a post since last November.

Still a pretty short list.

Other good news 

When I got back to my hotel room last night, the bellman had just deliverd my missing bag. It had been retained by Canadian Customs and delivered, oddly, by Fedex.

And the laptop has only crashed once this morning. I still miss the days when I could open a shell, run an uptime command and see that it's been going for weeks without a reboot. But the way things have been going lately, ten minutes is a miracle I can put to good use.

Happy Birthday, Mom! 

My mother is 90 years young today. She was born on March 13, 1913 into a Swedish family on the North Dakota prairie during the reign of Taft the Large.

Lots of people have issues with their mothers. I'm not one of them. When I woke up a few minutes ago, the first song in my mind was Paul Simon's Loves me Like a Rock. The second was Greg Brown's Cheapest Kind, which I heard once on A Prairie Home Companion. The chorus has stuck in my mind ever since:

But the love, the love, the love It was not the cheapest kind It was rich as, rich as rich as, rich as Any you could ever find

Mom has always been, and contintues to be, the richest source of love I have ever known. She's a human pipeline, running straight from God.

She's also smart as a whip, funny as a tickle and uncomplicated as a bowling ball. Her laugh can lift the darkest spirit.

As a kid she was so smart they put her ahead one grade. Friends called her "The Walking Dictionary." A couple years ago she heard me mention Google, and said "A Googol is an infinitely large number." That wasn't exactly right (it's a one followed by a hundred zeroes), but close enough. When my sister and I were kids she taught school (mostly third grade) in Maywood, New Jersey, our home town. She started teaching when she was eighteen in a one-room schoolhouse in North Dakota. Between those years she lived an adventurous life. Met my father (another adventurer) in Alaska during World War II.

We'll be throwing her a big party in North Carolina in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to be there.

[Later...] Mom just told me on the phone that she wasn't put ahead a grade, but rather put in first grade at age five. "My mother couldn't stand having me at home any more. I was too smart. But so were a bunch of other kids." Her best friend, Agatha, was one of those kids. They're still in touch. Mom has always called Agatha by her nickname, which is (no kidding) "Boogie."

Taxing Matters

Taxing Matters 04/15/2004 10:15 AM
We should cancel the massive tax cuts for the rich that have been the economic hallmark of the Bush years, and use some of the savings to relieve the burden on middle-class AMT victims. Even better, we could do something about a system that has let so many of the ultra-rich get away scot-free or nearly so.

It's about freaking time, but technology companies are starting to wake up to the importance of good design, and how it's just about the only way to stand out of the crowd in today's ultracompetitive electronics market. Dean Takahashi, who we used to work with back at the old Red Herring, has an article about this in the San Jose Mercury News, and how manufacturers turning to IDEO, Frog Design, and other industrial design firms to help differentiate themselves.

Why Mozilla matters

Why Mozilla matters 10/28/2003 11:06 PM

The browser is dead. It's gone to meet its maker, shuffled off its mortal coil, and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. Macromedia knows this. Microsoft knows this. The makers of countless variations on the theme of the next-generation rich Internet client know this. Everyone knows this except the folks who build and deploy Internet apps. We surveyed them recently, and they told us last-century Web apps are not only alive and kicking, but dominant. Is that nostalgia, or a leading indicator? Both, I suspect.

Design Really Matters

Design Really Matters 12/05/2002 02:43 PM
When it comes to design, most folks have one of three common attitudes. The first is, "Yes, design is vital to accurately communicate our brand." They pony up the bucks and pay professional designers for their talent and ideas.

Others say, "Heck, it's technology that matters. We'll have our in-house designers put a pretty face on it." They create development budgets to match their priorities.

The third contingent is convinced information is more important than looks. "What matters is what we say. We don't want all that graphic stuff to get in the way of our copy." They go with a spare, Jakob Nielsen-like approach that emphasizes text with a Wall Street Journal-like look.

They're all wrong. -- Sean Carton
