Will work for Powermac

Oh man how I wish I could get my hands on one of Apple's 64Bit powerhouses.

Zeldman's Right... MiniTabs are Sweet

I think I might have to use this navigation on this blog, real soon.

Help us WaSP, you're our only hope

SideSh0w agrees with the sentiment behind DASie, but suggest a more inclusive way of finding momentum.

"...the name seems problematic as well; by labelling the concern as one coming specifically from Designers, the righteous indignation behind the initiative is relegated to a relatively small portion of the web's population. The average visitor to your site doesn't care about CSS3 selectors, or what semantic markup can do for them; they came looking for content, and the concerns of web designers are probably ? and justifiably ? the last thing on their minds. We should instead be educating the common web user on the advantages of tabbed browsing, Mozilla's Find As You Type technology, and other web innovations; educate your users as to browsing alternatives available to them, rather than chiding them for using the application that came preinstalled on their OS.

At the end of all this rambling, I'd like to make a proposal: that the WaSP revisit/revive the BUC. With all that's going on in the world of Redmond, I do think that some action needs to be taken. However, the frustration of web designers needs to be channeled through an organization that at once has the web's best interests in mind and the respect of software makers throughout the online industry. Help us, O WaSP, for we know not what we do ? we just know we need to do something, and soon.
