I just submitted my WSSG (Web Standards Singapore) logo. I’ve decided that nothing I’m going to do in my life will ever be perfect, and my work isn’t going to get richer with age, unlike wine, so there’s no point keeping it till the last moment. It’s only when I do things like this, however, …

A long time ago, as a frustrated web designer whose client noticed that a Flash form didn’t go to the right fields when the ‘tab’ button was used, I realised that there were very few good resources on the web that actually taught you how to code your forms properly. So when I did figure …
My jazz piano teacher told me I needed to listen to more music to give me ideas for improvisation. Buy more CDs? Oh, what a chore. So yesterday I rushed home from work, changed my clothes, then dragged my feet over to That CD Shop in the space of half an hour. The Tanglin Mall …
Jakob Nielsen has posted a review of the usability of the Bush and Kerry newsletter campaigns. Unfortunately, Bush seems to be winning, though by a slim margin of 1%. As in real life, both sides have some way to go.

Just in case you think I’m being specifically rude to you, I am actually not replying to most emails, and not answering to random text messages especially where it involves last-minute outings. I have not seen my mother for 2 days even though we live in the same home. I worked on my own accord …
I am glad to announce that, a month into my new job, I have embarked on my mission to promote the benefits of Web Standards. First, I emailed some colleagues the link to CSS Zen Garden, just to let them know that our current website’s use of stylesheets could do much more than simply colour …
My previous Switch logs noted more short-term incidents. After owning a Mac for nearly two months, this is what I have concluded: 1) Bluetooth mice die young. This is the second time I’ve been asked to change my batteries for the Apple Wireless mouse (1 out of 5 bars). If the batteries need replacing every …
My colleagues suggested going to Great World City for lunch today. And so we did. After a soup and bread / pasta lunch at Cedele, we decided to run our respective errands and meet at … That CD Shop. My Spidey-senses tingled. I sensed impending doom and irreparable damage (to my bank account). Braving the …
