punk paintings

Some very interesting paintings of Punk Rockers including Sid Vicious, Joey Ramone, and Joe Strummer, can be found at the site of KNOX, aka Ian M. Carnochan, a founding member of The Vibrators and a PAINTER of some skill...

He's Gone, Jim

The chief engineer of the Enterprise is gone and this is all James Tiberius Kirk has to say about it on his website:

"A long and storied career is over. I knew Jim when he started out in Canada and I knew him in his last years in America, so we go way back. My condolences go out to his family."

Hey, what gives? The man saved your ass so many times it's not funny, and you can't even manage a full paragraph? I'm somewhat disappointed.

Experimental CSS Design

Thames at Night at Stock X-change

I've reworked some old pages that used to be linked to the great
Citrus Moon website. When I lost my subdomains I realized that the pages needed updating, and badly. I've learned a bit more about web design since I first put them online.

So I spent last night reworking the code. Most of the design is basic and can't be of much interest to advanced CSS designers, but beginners may get some useful ideas. The designs are specifically tailored for presenting short fiction on the web.

• Grand-Daughter of Bodyborders



• Minimal: Tons of whitespace



• I-Frame Mimic: Centered content



• I-Frame Mimic II: Another take



• I-Frame Mimic III: Chinaberry



• Superliminal: Vertical text in Internet Explorer



• Absolutely Centered: 100% width content



• Centered content and min-width in Internet Explorer

Most of these designs owe a lot to the trailblazers who have sweated and perfected these techniques, and the visual artists who provide free images so we can enhance our web pages. Kudos!

No Click Website...

I ran across this and thought it was pretty cool. In general I don't like Flash-based sites...but who can resist surfing through this one once you've seen it?

Vonnegut's The Man

"After Timequake, Kurt Vonnegut declared that his career as a novelist was over, but in recent years Seven Stories Press has collected the scattered writing he has done since his retirement into small books. A new, and perhaps more substantial, collection called A Man without a Country comes out in September."

Slump O Zeldman

Everyone who styles with CSS is grateful to Mr. Zeldman for his many contributions to Web Design, Accessibility, and CSS, but when O when will he actually post about these subjects again? Perhaps his day is done, as far as design innovations and original articles. ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

For those who remember, and even for those who don't, an updated version of The Ramones Manifesto. Feather in cap: my micro fiction piece The Butterfly Effect is now online at Blue Print Review.

Posteritati is a nice resource for movie posters. The above is an unusual one from the movie Sunset Boulevard, which is a really creepy movie but good, good. Link via Neurastenia which is a great weblog for art links (as if you didn't know).

Latest Ramones

A punk rock radio show out of Seattle called Gabba Gabba Hey featuring mucho Ramones music can be heard Saturdays at midnight, if you happen to be in Seattle, or hear it replayed over the internet for gosh sakes. Me likey.

Weird Tales of The Ramones, a massive compilation of the Best of The Ramones, is set for release sometime in August. The box set features rare and alternate tracks—a good companion to the previously released Anthology.
