Everybody’s favourite web standards evangelist, Jeffrey Zeldman has just announced he’s to be married at the end of June. (Somehow he’s managed to redesign his site without me noticing too… it changes more than this place does!)
Jeffrey is a decent, hard working NY city guy – congrats to him, and I hope married life doesn’t tear him away from what he does best – making sure the web is a better place to work.
I spotted this story on CNN about Disney’s plans to sell throw away DVD’s which are watchable for only 48 hours after purchase.
Along with AOL’s quest to blanket the planet with their CD-ROM’s this has to be the least environmentally sound idea of recent times. The popularity of Disney movies will ensure that if this concept proves a success, there will be huge volumes of these disposable DVD’s filtering into landfill sites via eager consumers.
While the governments of the world are keen to stem the flow of spam at the moment, shouldn’t they be more concerned with the unwanted waste happening in real life?
After a weekend of slobbing, I decided to go for a brief jog tonight.
Big mistake.
Fifteen minutes later I was flat on my back on the living room carpet wheesing like Darth Vader with whooping cough.
The strange thing is that during five a side once a week I can manage to totter about for the full hour, sprinkling occasional bursts of speed into the performance. But due to the recent overcrowding of our five a side night (i.e. eight a side on a five a side pitch) you don’t exactly get any fitter because you don’t have to move much.
Looks like my master plan to get fit again this year may take a little longer than first thought… hmmmm.
