I’ve been using Silvio Rizzi’s excellent Reeder for iPad for the past several days. It’s far and away the nicest Google Reader application for iPad, and maybe anywhere. One thing that I noticed about it was that for some of the sites in my feed there were big fancy icons, while others were stuck with favicon.ico

ArsTechnica has one of these fancy icons and in the source of their page, I found:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://static.arstechnica.com/apple-touch-icon.png" />

Once I had that, the rest was easy. I found an image that I wanted to use, and scaled it to 150 x 150, then saved it as a .png. I uploaded it the root directory on my website and added that line of html to the top of my Wordpress theme. According to the Apple documentation, the ideal size for iPhone is 57×57, but it says that the OS will scale it for you if your icon is a different size.

Done and done.

As an added bonus, if someone wants to save your site as an icon on their iPhone or iPad, they will get your fancy icon, instead of a crappy screenshot of your webpage.

Greene, an unemployed 32-year-old who lives with his parents in Manning, was hardly visible on the campaign trail, even ignoring a stump rally in his hometown. Still, he trounced Rawl, a former judge and state lawmaker who serves on Charleston County Council.

Greene spent no money campaigning and did not have a website, but improbably captured 59 percent of the vote and won all but four counties. Rawl campaigned across the state, raised about $250,000, sent out about 260,000 e-mails and was left scratching his head Tuesday night as results came in.

Certain sections of the above email contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “scheduled,” “estimates” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors.

Right to Left

One of the important things to understand about how browsers read your CSS selectors, is that they read them from right to left. That means that in the selector ul > li a[title="home"] the first thing thing interpreted is a[title="home"]. This first part is also referred to as the “key selector” in that ultimately, it is the element being selected.

A look inside the mind of what is most likely a high school senior and his plan to attain the goal of “Coolness”. Who is Steve?!

The truth is, Zuckerberg needs your data. His business is built upon it. The most important thing to understand about Facebook is that you are not Facebook’s customer, you are its inventory. You are the product Facebook is selling. Facebook’s real customers are advertisers. You, as a Facebook member, are useful only because you can be packaged up and sold to advertisers. The more information Facebook can get from you, the more you are worth. In response, a FB spokesman told me: “Im sorry you feel that way.”

Let’s make this clear once and for all: at the current surface and resolution of the iPad, multi column layouts for long screen texts are sentimental nonsense. And the more columns you use, the worse it gets.
