Gary Con 2008
Thursday, March 6th, 2008As a way of honoring Gary Gygax we will have a “Gary Con” across the globe this weekend.
Get your old gaming friends together, or invite some new players to join you for a game. We’ll all play either Dungeons & Dragons, or some other game but with a classic D&D type dungeon in it.
This is a global event for new and old fans of Gary’s game to get together, roll some dice, and have some fun. If you’re on Facebook, we’ve setup an event page for Gary Con 2008.
CSS Facelift for Facebook - Part 1
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007UPDATE: These techniques will no longer allow you to customize your Facebook profile.
Facebook now has over 24 million active users keeping in touch with friends and colleagues. Some people are predicting that it will become the de-facto social networking tool for the web. It’s certainly a very useful service, but as I spent more time with Facebook looking at all those identically designed profile pages I started to miss the individuality that accompanied personal websites and blogs.
Let’s look at how you can take a Faceook profile and using a bit of CSS and the new Facebook Markup Language, create something a bit more personalized. In Part 1 we’ll look at how to start adding your own xHTML and CSS.
(more…)Stop Cyberbullying Day
Thursday, March 29th, 2007For the past few days, thousands of blogs have focused on the topic of cyberbullying. This comes in the wake of Kathy Sierra cancelling her presentations at the ETech conference and withdrawing from posting on her popular blog due to threats of violence and offensive sexual statements and images posted by bloggers. I feel angered and disgusted by this, and similar patterns of behaviour that I’ve seen and heard about over the past few years.
This Friday May 30th is Stop Cyberbullying Day, and everyone is encouraged to think about ways to address this problem. Whether it’s the incredibly offensive and misogynistic comments many female bloggers receive, high-school students harassed with taunting text messages, or fake websites set up to try and slander innocent people—this is a problem that needs to be addressed.
