Many of the news sites offer a "Print this page" option. NUblog offers insight into printable page including tips for print media style sheets and dealing with fancy text.
<edit>Good addendum notes from Digital Web: Not all browsers support the "media" attribute of CSS tags and that it is best to use a serif based font for print media as it has been proven more legible (six centuries of publishers can’t be wrong).</edit>
Carrie has posted a list from NYPL of Books to Remember from 2001 . Apparently, this is one of the NYPL programs that will get cut if the huge budget cut stands. If you live in New York, please write a letter to the mayor and city council. You can email them, but a letter is more effective and Carrie has provided a sample to save you time.
Priceless bookmarklet from Liorean’s Web Coding Depot lets you view the CSS source code in IE. [Link Web- Graphics]
MACers using OS X and OS9 – there is a free ImageTagger that automatically generates tags for each image, including properties like height, width, alt, and border for a batch of images. Wow, wish we had one for the Win users.
Many talented individuals are taking the freelance or small business leap into Web design. Webreference pointed to an article that shows the steps for a freelance project. From there, I found
Web Development Process – A Small Business Perspective, which has a few examples to show how to do the step.
Ohhhhh…. that’s the sound of me admiring the Danger – HipTop. I’ll be watching for its arrival in the spring. Though, I won’t have a need for the cell phone portion, the rest of it looks hot. Cory shares his opinion and I totally agree.
Remember we all linked to KPMG because they got mad at a blogger for linking to them without permission? It’s happened again at Backwash and the new victim is Starbucks!
Pirillo will love this as a Peet‘s fan. Don’t get Peet’s here, so I can’t be too excited. Maybe it’s time to switch.
While you’re here — Blogtank has moved to its new home.
A follow up to Electronic Games Flashback, you can play the games again on your PC or Pocket PC using the LEDhead Classic Electronic Handheld Game Simulator. I just downloaded it and can play Football and other games on it. Awesome!
It took me a little bit to get the hang of it again… advice: use your keyboard not your mouse to play the football game.
From CNN, Webmasters get creative with ’404 Error’ pages. Been meaning to create my own for over two years. Man, that’s a long time to have an item on my to do list. Maybe when the site gets redesigned.
Peterme shared an Adaptive Path RFP experience that isn’t so hard to believe. All bidding vendors were given the opportunity to submit questions regarding an RFP and then join in on a conference call to discuss.
The company questioned Adaptive Path’s professionalism… because they submitted their questions within the body of an email instead of as a Word attachment.
And they were the only vendor to do so.
This doesn’t surprise me. When I speak of CSS or other frequent weblogging topic, people have no idea what I am talking about.
Yet, local newspapers and other resources that reach the lesser geeked masses have little to no room to publish articles from the likes of us to spread the geekspel and help people understand what is going on.
Sure, sending questions in the body of an email ain’t as pretty as in a prettied up Word document, but it sure as heck reduces chances of viruses. Plus, it’s easier to file the message in your emailbox folders as opposed to somewhere on the hard drive or network drive.
I stand behind Adaptive Path and think they’re one of the most professional companies I’ve had the honor of meeting.

Thanks for the heads up, Robyn.
