<body><outline text="I've just implemented &lt;a href=&quot;http://idselector.com/&quot; rev=&quot;vote-for&quot;&gt;ID Selector&lt;/a&gt;, a new drop-in piece of JavaScript that makes the OpenID sign-in process easier. It's &lt;a href=&quot;http://onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;unobtrusive&lt;/a&gt; and allows users to sign in using common OpenID providers - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aol.com&quot;&gt;AOL&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://yahoo.com&quot;&gt;Yahoo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://wordpress.com&quot;&gt;Wordpress&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://myopenid.com&quot;&gt;MyOpenID&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogger.com&quot;&gt;Blogger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://livejournal.com&quot;&gt;LiveJournal&lt;/a&gt; etc. According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/idselector/statuses/795428861&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, an open source version that you can put on your own site will be available soon - hopefully with the ability to style it and reorder the service list." created="Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:21:57 GMT"/>

I just have to write a brief ode to &lt;a href=&quot;http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;CSSEdit&lt;/a&gt; - which makes editing &lt;acronym title=&quot;Cascading Style Sheets&quot;&gt;CSS&lt;/acronym&gt; so simple for me (I have a terrible memory for &lt;acronym&gt;CSS&lt;/acronym&gt; properties) - and for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym&gt;CSS&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; itself.

At the beginning of news reports, you'll often have &quot;NEW YORK CITY&quot; or &quot;BASRA&quot; or whatever. For short posts, I now have a little italic dateline before the post and a dash to separate it from the post itself. For longer posts, I decided that having the dateline at the end would be better, and justifying it to the right. I'm very much a design &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;amateur&lt;/a&gt;, so I hope it's not too tatty on the design front.&#13;" created="Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:27:53 GMT"/><outline text="I'd like to write (or better yet, have someone else write for me) a &lt;abbr title=&quot;Java 2 Mobile Edition&quot;&gt;J2ME&lt;/abbr&gt; MIDlet application that uses the Sony-Ericsson Java geolocation &lt;acronym title=&quot;Application Programming Interface&quot;&gt;API&lt;/acronym&gt; to update Fire Eagle with my current location - either using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.paxmodept.com/telesto/blogitem.htm?id=381&quot;&gt;Sony-Ericsson proprietary &lt;acronym&gt;API&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or through &lt;a href=&quot;http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=179&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Java Specification Request&quot;&gt;JSR&lt;/acronym&gt;-179&lt;/a&gt;.

All of this will be &lt;a href=&quot;http://onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; rev=&quot;vote-for&quot;&gt;unobtrusive&lt;/a&gt;, will not affect you if you don't have JavaScript turned on (for instance, if you use &lt;a href=&quot;http://noscript.net/&quot; rev=&quot;vote-for&quot;&gt;Noscript&lt;/a&gt; in Firefox to filter JavaScript and Flash on sites you don't trust or opt-in on sites you do like).&#13;" created="Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:27:53 GMT"/><outline text="What I am hoping will come out of things like this is that people will start treating their blogs as playgrounds to experiment with new forms of content, and new ways of linking that content together - using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/&quot; rev=&quot;vote-for&quot;&gt;Semantic Web&lt;/a&gt; technologies and so on. We don't have to wait for &lt;a href=&quot;http://google.com/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;acronym title=&quot;Venture Capital&quot;&gt;VC&lt;/acronym&gt;-backed startup to do something - we've got all the technology to do it for ourselves. I'm sure that's a neat vision for personal publishing. And it's a good way for me to learn jQuery." created="Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:27:53 GMT"/></outline></body>
