While there are some strange redundancies and it’s missing a nice build tool and dependency/include system, I really do like Yahoo UI Library, mostly because it is easy to follow and the basic example widgets are far more refined than other UI libraries.
Here is a link to YUI Cheetsheets in PDF.

As the BART pulled in to the penultimate stop, I was half a dozen pages from the end of tuesdays with Morrie: an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson, a “long paper on what was learned” as the author comes to the terms with the slow deterioration and death of his favorite [...]
A couple days ago, Hong sent me an eCard announcing that Plaxo had the new holiday borders live on the Plaxo eCard site.
Actually, he used my favorite new border, “snowflake”. Tiffany, Michael, and Martin did the design based on a template that Bill had suggested to me for the flowers border that he did.
(Okay, I [...]
Joseph sent me this article, in which the writer switches from Windows to a new MacBook Pro (the same one I own).
In doing so, he found the easiest way to import his Outlook contacts into Mac OS X Address Book was just by using Plaxo! While he was being tongue-in-cheek, I noticed Derik DeLong uses [...]
Digg pointed out this article which states:
A committee of experts looked at all the possible excuses — biological differences in ability, hormonal influences, childrearing demands, and even differences in ambition — and found no good explanation for why women are being locked out [of science].
Umm, what about sexism? Or is that too obvious?
[Short biographies of [...]
I had an argument today where a kid at work was spouting the near-complete repertoire of game console myths. Here is an annotated list of facts:
Microsoft lost at least $4 billion on the original Xbox (not $2 billion as many claim).
Microsoft has rather consistently sold just south of 2 million Xbox 360 units a quarter, [...]
Blake Robinson is the lone pro-Zune voice in the CrunchGear wilderness. (Probably because they weren’t bribed like the Gizmodo folks were.) When commenting about their new commercial, I wondered if he’s found any Zune love out there.
He hasn’t.
An interesting thing he mentions in passing: he leaves the WiFi off because of battery drain. Remember five [...]
Drew showed me this nice trick to zero out a Plaxo account (something I need to do a lot because of testing).
Simply go to Manage Folders, Create a new Contacts folder, and then delete the old one.
Warning: I don’t know what happens when you sync down to your desktop client. My solution is to run [...]
In an internal mailing list, a friend sent around these photos. Here is one:
The interesting thing was back in February, Mark Jen sent those same shots to me and the graphics design department. I composed a reply, but never posted it. I guess I better do something about that.
Very striking images! How did they take [...]
Yesterday after a particularly nasty source code integration, Hong mentioned that we should celebrate with a little bit of soju. Discussions of soju led to him mentioning Japan’s version and then me mentioning that the Chinese have a version of their own: the most memorable being the infamous Moutai.
Soju is often cut down with something [...]
