My friends at Gartner are hiring a new member for their web team. If you are within commuting distance of Stamford, CT (about 45 minutes outside of NYC by train), I highly recommend considering this job as I know first-hand how awesome this team is to work with.

One of the web's preeminent marketing websites, MarketingSherpa, has just published an article which may start a web standards stampede. The focus is Firefox, but the underlying message is standards, standards and more standards.

Andy's beautiful standards-based design is gone, replaced by a table-based pile of (ahem) tag soup. Being the gentleman that he is, Andy has chosen to remain silent on the issue, but he has provided a forum for anyone else who wants to chime in.

In his most recent essay, Gerry McGovern was discussing expert opinions and voices. One particular comment he made struck a chord: “The Web is maturing. It needs more people like Jakob Nielsen who propose, explain and defend rules.”

I've been informed of a great position in southern Connecticut for a strong standards designer/developer. The full-time position is at dLife.com, a site whose primary focus is providing information and support to individuals and families touched by diabetes.

It managed to sneak past me for a few days, but my recent interview with Jeremy Keith has made its way into the latest issue of Digital Web Magazine. In the interview we cover the impetus behind his new book, WaSP's DOM Scripting Task Force, and Jeremy's future as a rockstar.

Anyway, we've pushed a new issue of ALA out the door which includes a fantastic piece by Eric on the new ALA print stylesheet and I have a new article is in there as well: Improving Link Display for Print. It's print mania at ALA aparently.

I just encountered a DOM implementation issue in IE which took about three hours to solve (and like a year off my life).
