Browser Upgrade Initiative: Rants and Raves Abound
Molly Holzschlag (Executive Editor, WebReview.com) wrote a terrific editorial Friday for WebReview: Editorial Response to WaSP’s Upgrade Your Browser Initiative. [Thanks to Zeldman for the weblog note about it!] Molly’s editorial makes some very important points, including the need for web designers to educate themselves well and to consider using the W3C’s recommendations. I think no Web designer or developer worth his or her salt won’t at least consider using recommendations instead of defaulting to proprietary and problematic methodologies.

Power Surges and Blackout Protection
The adventures of getting a good UPS backup (UPS = uninterruptable power source) this week left my head spinning in circles.
