Levels of HTML Knowledge

This serious rating of HTML coders complements my earlier joke post regarding the evolution of programmers by explaining 7 levels of HTML understanding from HTML Level 0 to HTML Level 6. I’d put myself at HTML Level 4 moving into 5.

It isn’t necessary for everybody to reach HTML Level 6. I consider myself a Level 5 person, and I’m quite happy reading the specs instead of writing them so I don’t really feel like I need to reach Level 6. People whose task is to keep a website’s content up-to-date can even get by at Level 1, provided that their CMS is good enough. It all depends on your needs.

Levels of HTML Knowledge was inspired by Levels of CSS knowledge. I am Level 5.

Store your bullets out of the reach of toddlers!

I went upstairs and couldn’t believe my eyes. Mixed in with the toys scattered across the living room floor was a, um, er, a marital aid. Obviously a 1 year old dragged it out of a storage space and became disenchanted with the toy dropping it in the middle of everything to move onto less embarassing toys like kitchen knives.

Coming close to a recreation of a scene from Parenthood, I openly point out what I am holding to my wife while my children’s backs are to me. They of course whip around with a "What?!" response but I’m too quick. Good thing too because we have a policy in this household of "if you bring it up, you explain it!"

Asking, "What would Alan Shore do?" I reacted calmly, slipping the tool into my pocket, making eye contact with the wife, and calling Sarah to babysit for 3 minutes.

Now honey, your neck massager needs to be put somewhere different. And feel free to read all kinds of double entendre into that.

Dual Role? Lost characters.

Did Matthew Fox also play one of the listening post characters? Here are Lost’s full credits for part 2 of the season 2 finale.

Since Matthew Fox is appearing in Rambo IV (with Stallone directing and starring) in 2007, can we assume Jack is dead?!

Plot Outline: Vietnam vet John Rambo is forced to emerge from his reclusive lifestyle and take justice into his own hands after a girl goes missing.

Of note, Sly is also starring in Rocky Balboa which releases this year.

Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) has now been retired for some time, but hard-up for money, he decides to step back into the ring against a few small-time boxers.

Sounds like maybe Planet Hollywood isn’t doing so hot. Or perhaps Rocky Balboa is art immitating life?

Crappiest Site on the Internet

Gone are the days of lighting paper bags on doorsteps. Now you can give a crap over the Internet.

For whatever occasion, make that someone special feel exactly that…special! Yes, flowers and candy are nice but perhaps you are looking for something a bit more personal? Something that says you care and lets your friends or loved ones know that you truly do give a crap!
…
Box & Poop size & and color may vary.
…
The Crap o’ Gram is a novelty, non-toxic, rubber fake piece of poo.

Personally, this one doesn’t tickle me much but I bet most people will get a kick out of giving a crap. [Source]

You can also buy plush Pee & Poo (Swedish: Kiss & Bajs).
