IEBlog : Microsoft’s Interoperability Principles and IE8:
We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can. This decision is a change from what we’ve posted previously.
Yay. Nice of them to come to our senses.

When the search phrase “i’ve been contemplating suicide but it really doesn’t suit my style so i think i’ll just act bored instead” places your site at number 3 on the Google results, you really need to re-examine your online activities.

WebVisions rides again
While everyone else is getting ready for SXSW, the WebVisions board has been busy getting this year’s edition ready to go. I’m really excited that Jeffery Veen is back. His presentation (5 or so years ago) was one of the best ever and even though we usually don’t have return speakers, Veen is one of the few that I’m truly glad to hear again.
WebVisions: May 22 – 23, 2008 – Portland, Oregon
Media, technology and consumer trends visionary Lynne Johnson will join WebVisions to deliver the Thursday keynote address. Lynne is the Senior Editor and Community Director for FastCompany.com, a leading website and community for people passionate about business ideas that also offers the complete content of Fast Company magazine. She also writes a technology blog following web, media, and consumer trends for FastCompany.com, and guest blogs for techPresident and Black Web 2.0.
An internationally sought-after sage, author, and user experience consultant, Jeffrey Veen will return to WebVisions to deliver one of the event’s keynote addresses. Currently a Design Manager and project lead for Google’s Measure Map project, Jeffrey is returning to WebVisions to share his vision for the future of the Web.
At this point, WebVisions as an event runs really smoothly. We get a good set of volunteers returning each year, and my Tech Crews are always on top of things. I’m the stage manager and try to make sure that each speaker is prepared and comfortable, the audience is undistracted, and the volunteers understand that the audience members are expecting to have a great experience and we want to give them an outstanding experience.
WebVisions is incredibly cheap and for the quality of the speakers and the location, it cannot be beat. I hope you’re coming!

And the winner is…
I love the idea that the death of HD-DVD means that BluRay gets to be the one killed by downloads. It’s really time that we gave up this whole spinning platter thing and just went solid-state for anything that needs to be stored ‘off-line’ or transfered across non-networked machines.

Recent Timbers News
Here at Casa Del Futbol, we’re gearing up for the Timbers 2008 season which will open April 17. As part of the lead up to the season, a few articles that recently came out worth mentioning for their timbery content:
- Nice little prologue to an article covering the Timbers’ owner from the Business Journal.
- Amy and I were devastated to hear that Timber Jim is retiring. The press release was notable for calling Timber Jim what he should have always been known as: an icon.
- Chicago Sport Weekly looks at the new USL team and reflects on the differences between Timbers fans and Victory fans.
