Macie J outlines ten cool new features in the latest Safari release. This is the version of Safari that ships with Leopard, and is included with the Tiger 10.4.11 software update. One of the biggest highlights for me is full support of the TinyMCE rich text editor.
There’s also quite a bit of other super advanced stuff, like SVG, CSS3 support and the new web inspector. Stuff we’ve been enjoying for a while in the WebKit nightly is finally in the real world. Good stuff.
Why I had to opt-out:
- I didn’t find out about the contest until it was too late to shave.
- Everyone in my band has a beard. We play honky tonk. Trust me.
- Beards are … “looked upon favorably” in my household

the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California certified the NFB lawsuit against Target as a class action on behalf of blind Internet users throughout the U.S. and ruled that websites like Target.com are required, under California state law, to be accessible.
Totally missed this one earlier this month. Don’t under estimate the importance of accessibility! At least not any more.

[UPDATE] I can’t get the below process to work, but found that a thread on Marc Linyanage forum where he appears to be in the process of creating his PHP package installer. Have patience! Solution is eminent. I’m experimenting with his builds.
[UPDATE] PHP isn’t compiled with GD library by default. Here are instructions on how to recompile it with the necessary libraries. Fuck.
[UPDATE] The most comprehensive solution to date is here.
I just put Leopard on my MacBook this morning and can’t get MySQL running. Leopard comes with Apache 2, so some directories have changed. To get PHP running, you’ll need to modify your config file thusly.
As far as MySQL goes, nothing I’ve found on the internet works. Still hunting … I’ll keep you posted here. In the mean time, DO NOT UPGRADE

The new Kanye West album is getting a lot of air play at the Sacto BKWLD studio. I think it’s appropriate everyone revisit this alternate version of the Can’t Tell Me Nothing video.
The beauty of this video is that the majority of Kanye West aficionados may not be aware that the video’s supporting actor (yes, the creepy bald guy with the mustache) is one of the most respected song writers of the last fifteen years. To those of us who have danced our first dances as man and wife, birthed our children into the world, and paid last respects to friends leaving it to his music, this video is quite surreal.

A tip for those of you needing the easiest and most efficient way to build a site and make IE behave when rendering CSS. The secret is IE conditional statements. These are special html comments that only IE can read. The trick is to link to additional style sheets that overwrite rules in the master style sheet in a more IE friendly way. By nesting the links within these comments, only IE sees them. Other browsers skip right over them and behave as expected.
Here is the syntax:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/master.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" />
<!--[if IE]><link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie.css" type="text/css" media="all" charset="utf-8" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie7.css" type="text/css" media="all" charset="utf-8" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie6.css" type="text/css" media="all" charset="utf-8" /><![endif]-->
<title>BKWLD</title>
</head>
For best results, one should always develop their site using a standards compliant browser as a reference point, such as Firefox or Safari, then make adjustments to the IE style sheets once build is complete. I prefer to design with Firefox, as I find fewer inconsistencies between it and Safari when I develop this way. I say this as a Geko hater.
