The New Advances in Architecture and Engineering on the Web – See How it Affects You

Remember the good old days when drawings were done with pencil and paper, and not by the click of a mouse? They’re way over, somewhere between VHS and Blue Ray. Technology advances in the past 20 years have made them obsolete because it’s quicker, cheaper and more efficient now. With this new software computers can generate 3D models in rendering by the time it takes you to brush your teeth in the morning. Years ago it would have taken nearly a week for detailed designs of that precision.

TTMMHTM: Chrome for IE, 3D for Safari and Firefox, NES for JS and accessibility and an open internet for all

Things that made me happy this morning: Google’s Alex Russel released Chrome Frame , a way to embed Google Chrome into any Internet Explorer 6 as a plugin without having to uninstall the old browser. As explained in the more technical details article it is implemented as a Browser Helper Object, uses IE’ s cookies, history and password-remembering, includes the WebKit developer tools and appends ‘chromeframe’ to the regular IE user agent string.

The Freedom to Innovate Without Permission

In a speech this morning , widely heralded (and criticized ) as a call for “network neutrality,” FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski: “Why has the Internet proved to be such a powerful engine for creativity, innovation, and economic growth? A big part of the answer traces back to one key decision by the Internet’s original architects: to make the Internet an open system.” Now “open system” doesn’t mean anarchy. The Internet has rules, technical standards codified in the unassuming sounding “Requ

September 13, 2009: Last Full Day in Europe

Today is my final day in Germany.  I will leave Germany by rail first thing tomorrow morning (Monday) and travel back to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and fly back to Dublin where I will set for three hours, again, before flying back to JFK in New York. I slept in again this morning; I am still needing extra sleep to get back to feeling one hundred percent again.  Once I was up I was out the door to get out to Hellern at around ten thirty for my breakfast at Wellmann’s.  I lov
