To be honest, I’ve always thought the Enterprise-D was a pretty funny looking ship. Odd proportions.

Learn HTML & CSS Book

I am frequently asked what the best book is to learn HTML and CSS. I’ve usually recommended a book by Dan Cederholm, but even his material can presuppose an understanding of the basics of what makes a webpage work.

This beautifully designed book by Jon Duckett looks like a perfect guide for a beginner to learn HTML and CSS.

Seems like a steal at only $15 on Amazon. I might even pick up one or two myself.

Drawing of my childhood home, 3rd grade.

UPDATE: That’s my front lawn, not a pool.

Holy shit, “The Last Outpost” is the worst/best episode of TNG I’ve ever seen.

"Extremely close examination of the impulse drive system schematic panel in Main Engineering might reveal that one of the components is labeled “Infinite Improbability Generation,” a tip of the hat to Douglas Adams’s Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy."

Apparently when the blu-ray disks come out, we’ll be able to see these panels, some with in-jokes never designed to be visible on television, in high definition.

The Unprecedented Audacity of the iBooks Author EULA →

Important dissection of the iBooks Author EULA by Dan Wineman:

PLEASE READ THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT (“LICENSE”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLE SOFTWARE. BY USING THE APPLE SOFTWARE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE, DO NOT INSTALL AND/OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

But that language is in the EULA itself, a contract of adhesion which I was not required to sign (or even indicate my agreement to by clicking) before installing the software.

Update: Should have noted this before, but this has an easy fix. Remove “do not install” from the last sentence as you must install from the Mac App Store which doesn’t present EULAs before purchase. Then, present the EULA at first run.

Of course, everyone reads the terms before clicking agree, right?
