Decreasing Load Time When Using Google Web Fonts
I've been using Google Web Fonts ever since I started building this blog. It's an awesome service with a great user interface and it makes it really easy to add fonts to your web site. Of course I had to find something wrong with it. Earlier this w...
New Drapes

Responsive Web Design
Responsive web design is the new rage in HTML. As much as I dislike buzzwords, this one is actually something worth thinking about. Scott Hanselman wrote a blog post on the subject a while back and James Fuller has it at #5 on his top 5 list of thi...
