Interview, Registration and Books
November 2nd, 2005 |Here’s a mixed bag entry as these aren’t long enough to warrant their own entries. Marko Mihelcic has a growing list of interviews and asked me to join the list. Thanks, Marko.

Rant on Web 2.0
October 24th, 2005 |I started hearing about Web 2.0 about a year ago. Probably shortly after the first conference of the same name.

HTML and XHTML Introduction
