• Images, Tables, and Mysterious Gaps explains how claiming strict HTML 4.01 compliance might not be a good thing for documents using tables and single-pixel gifs for layout. [zeldman]
• Does Netscape 6 Break Your Table Layouts? That doctype declaration is pretty important. [zeldman]
• Once-Trustworthy Newspaper Databases Have Become Unreliable and Frustrating. I guess I'm not too disturbed, since I never figured the newspapers' online databases were that reliable. Heck, I've got over four years of links here, and most of the broken ones are links to old (you know, from like more than a month ago) articles in newspapers. [daypop]
• There are Niches of Trust on the net. Websites which report things honestly, unlike more traditional media. Not a real surprise, but I sometimes check the Online Journalism Review because they cover (among other things) just this kind of useful site.
• A Picture to HTML converter. No new technology here, but it's still cool. [daypop]
• Barter, Baby! is a place to swap some of your old junk for someone else's old junk. Maybe that's the solution to the stuff I want to sell. [caterina]
• Microsoft breaks MIME specification, perhaps in an effort to get more people to migrate to their software? [cam]
