Found this article on Wikipedia today that shows the release dates of some of the major web browsers out there. I did my bit to reorganize the table a lil, but more work needs to be done for some of the perhaps less known browsers.

But what I found most cool was this picture, which shows a timeline for all web browsers. If you can't see the picture, you must not be using a cool browser like Opera, Firefox or Safari. I won't ask you "why not"... But you can still see the picture at this link, just not as clearly. More web geek discussion ahead ... Read the rest of this entry ...

Apple announced that their Safari web browser will be available for Windows going forward. That's great! I've given it a little test run this evening and here are some thoughts. Of course, the true test is always months in the making... Read the rest of this entry ...

Apparently this month is my month for slacking off in compelling blog content, so continuing in that vein here's a nice little screencap I took while getting Adobe Reader 8 "rammed" to me (I'm nicking this phrase from Rob). In fairness, installation took "only" about 10 minutes, but that initial figure and progress bar did hang there for several of those minutes, inciting my rage and the pressing of Alt+PrintScreen. 2.4 GHz, 512MB RAM. Thankfully, since that time I've got a new laptop that can handle these modern, bloated document readers...

Go Vote For Your Favourite Music Video.

Caught a whiff of this from Robert Scoble. Go watch some vloggers in a contest to make a music video and then vote for your favourites (each IP address is allowed 2 votes). My favourites:

And if you're one of those who aren't sure what a "video blog" is supposed to be or do, go watch this awesomeness and tell me you aren't fired up about it by the end...

Thanks, Sam for kicking this off - I knew it was just a matter of time before someone would do a proof-of-concept, but the week of MIX07 was earlier than I expected! 🙂

One suggestion: If you're going to use simple IE detection, then why not use IE conditional comments rather than forcing other SVG-capable browsers to load and parse and run the JavaScript? Something like:

<!--[if IE]>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="SVG2SL.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
