In my last post about a mobile phone, I ranted about 3 Reasons I’m not getting the iPhone. Well here’s 4 Reasons Why I Love the T-Mobile G1!
1. Internet in my Pocket… Literally!
This phone keeps me in touch with the media I love most, the Internet. 
I can view full websites on a vivid screen; the colors pop and text is easy to read. I instantly have a wealth of information at my fingertips.
The web browser brings up full HTML pages minus Flash of course, no mobile web versions. That’s an app somebody should write. It can even handle JavaScript… I was able to launch the Lightbox Photogallery effect on one of my websites!

Poverty – Blog Action Day 08
With over 20,000 bloggers uniting today to not write about their blog’s niche, but about Poverty. My perspective is about Poverty at home… Here in the United States.

I watched Chris Coyiers’ screencast today on how to use sIFR to control fonts on the web. He followed a tutorial by Design Intellection to show how to incorporate it into your website.
The first time I saw this technique in use was on Teehan+Lax design agency website. Seems sIFR was been around a while and could be really cool for displaying whatever font you want in a website provided the user can display Flash and JavaScript.
I will be experimenting with this and post an article on it!
