Niche Markets
Topic: Marketing, movies, music, technology, web design, web development|Artists - make a living in the 21st century.
I’m a firm believer that the new age of the internets will destroy record companies as we know them, prove that movies need theatres,
and people will start making their living online. It’s possible, it’s happening, and it’s going to get bigger and better as time goes on.

The Year of Led Zeppelin
Topic: Led Zeppelin, concerts, music|or ‘The Reason I’m Not Posting Anything on Horrocio.us”
On January 1st of this year, I began a quest to listen to a recording of every Led Zeppelin concert currently available. Every day, I post my notes and thoughts on that day’s particular show. I’ve listened to 83 shows in 67 days and I’ve just begun 1971. As far as I can tell, I should finish sometime in late November, so I still have a long way to go.
It’s been awesome thus far, many of these shows I’ve had for years, but never got around to listening to. It seems like a huge undertaking, but it’s actually quite a lot of fun.
Anyway, here’s a link, check it out, leave comments, whatever. Enjoy.
let’s rock.

ATG Training: Current thoughts?
Topic: atg, ecommerce, w3c, web development, work|
So work
has deemed it necessary for ATG Training. Having played with it prior albeit, not for it’s intended e-commerce perspective, I’m looking forward to delving into the power behind the platform - especially it’s customizable components and personalization. This could potentially be my main focus for the next year or so - mastering ATG in the front and back (I’m a ‘tweener, after all).
Thankfully, Andrea Hill reminded me of the seldom known/used XML validation for ATG:
<dsp:page xml=”true”>
That’s right, that one line is the difference in getting that little green check mark in firefox. It’s crazy how hard it was to find that out, but it helps make ATG just a little bit more valid in our standards obsessed world-wide-web.

IE8 makes the right move.
Topic: technology, web design|
So some people think Microsoft came to this conclusion themselves.
I think that IE making IE8 operate in standards mode without any additional coding - unlike their initial announcement that IE8 would run like IE7 without the tags.
They very clearly state:
Our initial thinking for IE8 involved showing pages requesting “Standards” mode in an IE7’s “Standards” mode, and requiring developers to ask for IE8’s actual “Standards” mode separately. We made this decision, informed by discussions with some leading web experts, with compatibility at the top of mind.
I applaud the MS team for listening to the web community and, firstly, stating their initial plans, and following up and listening to the dubdubdub’s response and even more so - fixing the problem before it’s even in a public beta!
