A nice look at how HTML, CSS & Javascript have evolved since they were first created. It's also interesting to see how they overlap even though each should be it's own distinct entity.]]>

RSS Mix allows you to combine multiple RSS feeds into a single feed. I'm currently using this on Craigslist searches on used cars. It helps keep your RSS feed subscription list tidy rather than having 5-10 separate feeds for the same purpose.]]>

I always find it amusing how companies feel the need to endlessly merge and buy each other out. My own company might even look a little like this (but not as bad).

The funny thing with this chart is, the govt. originally broke up AT&T to stop it as a monopoly, and 25 years later, there's only 3 companies left, with one of the AT&T spin-off companies (SBC) actually buying AT&T, the original company.

I've been trying to find a similar chart for the TV/Movie studios since their as bad, if not worse than this chart but I've had no luck.]]>
