Eric Links
Eric does a linklog. In for a penny, in for a dollar. The one thing that bugs me about this type of link blog with the commentary in the title attribute is that Mozilla and family cuts off the title tooltip when you hover over the link. To see the entire message I either have to view source or right click and chose “Properties”, which also has a set length and I usually have to select the text and move my mouse to get it to “scroll.” Is there a better solution?

Live Press
Live Press Release 1.2.0, a WordPress plugin that synchronizes WordPress with Livejournal.
Slowness
Is it just me or is the internet going really slow? My connection is crawling and it’s making it very hard to get any work done.
Min Jung
MinJungKim.com is now powered by WordPress. Imported 2 separate blogger blogs and one MT blog (5 years of archives!) and about 160 blogroll links from Blogrolling without a hitch.
Cupertino
Cupertino, start your photocopiers! At least when some other companies rip something off they have the decency to buy out the original.
somethingme
Post to your blog using instant messenger, works with WordPress using the Blogger or Metaweblog API. That said, this seems way too complicated for end users.

Sideshow Inspiration
My recent mini-redesign was inspired a lot by Ethan. I didn’t realize this until I visited his site today. I love how that sunflower comes down below the menu and into the content area
Dave Resigns
Dave resigns from RSS advisory board, this is a very mature thing to do.
Structural Naming
Eric on structural class names again, but my question is whether or not semantics belong in class in the first place? No matter how you cut it, divs and spans are still the semantic duct tape of the web, and it seems like a better solution would be a richer array of semantic elements available in a way that’s backwards compatible with current HTML. (Not XHTML 2.0.)
WordPress Meetup
For everyone in San Francisco the WordPress Meetup is tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 PM. However there is a slight misunderstanding about the location. All week I’ve been telling everyone it’s going to be at the Border’s at Union Square, when at the meetup site it’s listed as a Border’s someplace way out of town. So to clarify, I’m going to be at the Border’s at Union Square Saturday at 4 PM, not anywhere else. We’ll meet in the cafe and eat, drink, and be merry. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Here’s the store information. I hear the best parking is at Stockton and Sutter. We’re on the second floor.
