Attack of the Formatting Phantom

It’s amazing what a few rogue HTML tags can do when put in the wrong place.  I had attempted to post some of Jon Udell’s description of InfoPath.  In the process of editing his HTML in the Radio UserLand in-browser editor, I missed a few closing table tags.  When Radio put in its two-cents-worth of [...]

From my journal

OK, don’t take this post as whining, but, after all, it is my blog, and I can come off as whining if I want.  Between working two jobs and other home duties, keeping up an active weblog is difficult.  If I have something profound or brilliant to say, I usually wait until Wednesday, so Dean [...]

Slippery Slope? - We’ll see in 50 years, won’t we!

Josh says, “Why do we treat the UN as if it is a legitimate form of democratic authority?” [Joshua Claybourn's Domain]
What happened to national sovereignty?  And what about this UN World Tribunal that I heard about?  Apparently, Clinton (a Democrat - duh!), was involved in a treaty creating the court, but both have “expressed reservations [...]

How can I get a day job like that?

I knew it! One prolific blogger and industry pundit, Jon Udell, confesses that he has a lot of time to do this blogging stuff:
Now granted, my vocation enables me to spend a lot of time writing and linking, so I wind up being a more-connected node than most.
