So what’s Blair’s legacy?
Tony Blair will be bundled out of the Labour Party as soon as they can make it. If not they’ll probably throw him in front of a bus. Such is the destructive manner of British politics. It’s enough to make you smile.
The question is this: what will Mr Blair leave behind?
Well for one Britain will [...]
Let the asylum seekers in
Let’s clear up a misconception. It’s often thought that Britain is letting everyone from all over the world just walk in to the country. That’s not true.

Can reading too many books kill your natural writing style?

It’s obvious really: just look at the films blokes like to watch. The Matrix, LOTR and Mission Impossible. [...]
Large text size is a requirement not an extra
It’s all too common these days. I click a link and I’m whisked to a dazzling site with a raptuous design. I think ‘wow! I wonder what this guy’s writing about?’ I scroll down to the text and squint. A lot.
What is it with web designers these days? I thought Web 2.0 signified the age [...]

I used to love the clean feel of a minimalist site. Aah, the uncluttered interface; free of all distraction. Alas for the whole web is going this way and it doesn’t feel the same any more.
Minimalist used to be a statement of dedication to the user and a love for usability. Now it signals the [...]

I’ve been into HTML for a while now and it’s kinda getting a bit blase. So lately I’ve been gathering info on CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to spice things up a tad.
CSS is a programming language supported by all modern browsers. It was developed by the
