“Riceboy Sleeps is an artistic collaboration between Jón Þór Birgisson (singer for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós) and his partner Alex Somers. Not only do they make visual art, but they also create ambient music. The music tends to be more ethereal and experimental than that of Sigur Rós.” – Wikipedia

Out of all of the open source Content Management Systems that I have dabbled with, I am becoming more and more fond of using WordPress as a CMS. The latest version 2.2 makes it even easier to do this. Here are some good links to check out if you are interested:

• Using WordPress as a CMS
• Introduction to Templates and how they work
• WordPress Template Tags

Back in March I attended An Event Apart, Boston at the Boston Marriott Copley, and was priviliged to see such great speakers as Jeffrey Zeldman, Eric Meyer, Molly Holzschlag, and… the list goes on. I was also surprised to see that the majority of the web developers, designers, and tech geeks there used Macs and not PCs. Go figure!

Here is a list of links I compiled (aka scribbled in the back of my notebook) throughout the conference, for your viewing pleasure:

• Microformats – “Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards.”
• Yahoo! Developer Network
• WebTypography.net – The elements of typographic style, applied to the web
• Position Is Everything – Info on CSS bugs, behaviors, and table-less layouts
• Firebug – A great Firefox add on for web developers
