The blistering cold hit him straight in the face as he left the warmth inside. Was it already this cold? He regretted not taking the thick coat he had seen in the closet. The thin jacket he had right now had to do, there was no time turning back. It got a little better as he started jogging.

Ever since I wrote What is Web 2.0? on the eve of last year’s Web 2.0 Conference, people have been asking for more. I’ve given dozens of talks around the world for companies increasingly far from the tech world. (In fact, I’m writing this entry from Necker Island in the Caribbean, where I’m meeting with the general managers of all the Virgin Group companies.) All of them what to understand not just what Web 2.0 is, but how to apply its principles to their business.

Não, esta não é mais uma discussão se um link externo ao seu site deve ou não abrir em outra janela. Eu já discuti este assunto aqui. Eu já escrevi sobre as razões pelas quais o atributo target foi retirado das especificações de documentos strict da W3C e também já escrevi que se você realmente quer forçar os links externos no seu site a abrirem em outra janela, você deve utilizar JavaScript e não o atributo target. No final, minha opinião é que você não deve forçar um link ser aberto em outra janela se ele for externo ao seu site. Eu acredito que esta tem que ser uma decisão do usuário e não do site.

Though some people seem to think the DOM is a failure it is in many ways one of the important building blocks of the web. Or perhaps it’s that the web relies on it. Not supporting the DOM (and scripting) means not supporting a part of the web. Getting a DOM is mostly done by writing something in a serialized format, such as HTML or XML, and then letting a web browser interpret it.

Jonathan Snook has posted a few great CSS coding tips in Top CSS Tips. Several of them come down to personal preferences, and it seems my preferences differ a bit from Jonathan’s in some cases, so I thought I’d go through his tips and note my take on each of them.

This last week I had the pleasure of giving a presentation for the Web Standards Group London microformats special. I was presenting alongside Norm who was giving some of the background into microformats, and Jeremy, who was covering day-to-day use as well as showing some of the tools that are currently available.

Last Thursday I took a trip up to London, to attend the latest meeting of the London Web Standards Group. It took place at the New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster University and the theme of the evening was microformats. The speakers were Mark “Norm†Norman Francis, Jeremy Keith, and Drew McLellan.

Semi-transparent backgrounds are nice. They would be more popular, but Internet Explorer doesn’t support .png transparency. There are a few clunky workarounds. Here’s another that’s a little less clunky.
