Yes, the goer.org Matrix stylesheet is back, baby!<\/a>[1<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n

This Halloween, Marnie and I carved jack-o-lanterns and everything, but no trick-or-treaters showed up at all. It sucks living in an apartment building. We even left a little trail of jack-o-lanterns leading up the door, but no dice. I think we probably scared off the kids, if anything. “Now son, don’t go trick-or-treating at the place of the Evil Apartment People… they’re just trying to lure you in to their laboratory.” Anyway, now between my birthday cake and the uneaten candy, I have a serious excess of chocolate in the house. I guess I’ll take the candy to work, where it will be appreciated by a rather different set of costumed children.[2<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n

Anyway. I’m trying to stay off this Markup<\/a> stuff for a little while, but I couldn’t let this pass. Late last week Dave Hyatt<\/a>[3<\/a>]<\/sup> decided to add support for the <marquee><\/code> element to Safari<\/a> (presumably in the upcoming Safari 1.2). Coincidence? I think not<\/a>. Oh sure, in his comments Dave mumbled something about wanting to support certain prominent Asian websites where <marquee><\/code> has proved popular, blah blah blah. But we all know what the real<\/em> reason<\/a> was. Now if Dave would just add support for the <blink><\/code> tag, Safari would surpass Mozilla and reach the exalted ranks of Opera<\/a>, the only browser in the world currently able to display the Page of the Damned<\/a> in all its unholy glory. You don’t want Opera to beat Safari on this point, do you Dave? Especially after they said those mean things about Safari<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Ah, there’s nothing more fun than stirring up trouble on a Monday morning. You know, this site really is becoming a repository of pure evil. People are already starting to use the Page of the Damned as an example of the <marquee><\/code> element<\/a>; soon I’ll completely corner the competitive <marquee><\/code> market, just as I have for cursed frogurt<\/a>. Yes… everything is proceeding as I have forseen. <\/p>\n

<\/a>1. Not seeing the new stylesheet? Take the red pill, reload the page… and free. Your. Mind.<\/small><\/p>\n

<\/a>2. Must keep the demonic engineers well-fed with sugar… or there will be… trouble…<\/small><\/p>\n

<\/a>3. I’m never sure — is Dave the lead Safari rendering engine developer? The only<\/em> Safari rendering engine developer? Or just the only famous one?<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
