the web presence of one enthusiastic web citizen
By the end of next week I need to have finished three programming assignments, one 2-page essay, one 6-page essay, signing a contract for an apartment for next year, turning in a lot of paperwork for scholarships next year, and have a second birth certificate issued to me. After that I can worry about finals!
I’ve partly completed one programming assignment so far.
Here I am celebrating another internet holiday: Naked Day. On April 9th, each year participating web sites (now including mine) remove all CSS style sheets for 24 hours. It’s a gesture to remind people to have web sites that are designed so anyone can view the content on the page, even if their browser isn’t as fancy as Firefox or Internet Explorer, like on a cell phone or a very old computer.
All I had to do to my site was to install the Wordpress plugin to automatically disable the CSS on April 9th. If you are interested, here is the homepage for this venture, which includes links to plugins for all sorts of various blogs and CMS systems: http://naked.dustindiaz.com/
Today, April 3, 2008, has been declared to be the first “Good People Day”. After talking with people online looking for a way to add more positive energy to the online community in general, Gary Vaynerchuk decided to spearhead this movement with a video:
Jon posted this a couple of days ago, and if you know an awesome community college in your area I’m sure you can relate. I couldn’t help it. I lol’d.
I found this awesome blog that, for some reason, made me think Zach would really enjoy it.
