Logo for Feedly

Hey, if you are into Comic Books or Superheroes, I started another blog here. That blog takes the place of this Google+ Collection that I was occasionally posting to, but I decided to own the data this time and start at the beginning... so far I've made it to the debut of Superman... it should be more interesting going forward 🙂

Feedly has some buttons you can add to your blog here, but I wanted one that didn't involve a network fetch unless the user clicked it, so I made one (thank you inline SVG):

Obviously replace my feed link with yours ... unless you want to send me random subscribers!

I also started tracking what percentage of web users can see SVG in an <img> tag. Currently that's at about 16%, up from 8% a year ago. I expect that number to soar dramatically once Firefox 4 and IE9 are released.

I want to believe. SVG as an image format.Because my kids are now old enough to grok some complex games, I've introduced them to the Magic: The Gathering card game. They love it. I love it. To continue the fun, we went to a local comic book store and bought a couple booster packs, which apparently are still being sold throughout the world. One of my kids got a Protean Hydra. Sweet! The Hydra is a mythical beast with nine heads, and every time you chop off a head, two more grow back.

The web is like that. And we're not chopping off heads fast enough. Read the rest of this entry ...
