It’s that time of year again, time for the 2nd annual CSS Naked Day! If you’ve been following my feed you will have noticed the link to the CSS Naked Day website a couple weeks back. Well, Dustin’s accepting signups now for those who want to take part this year.
What is CSS Naked Day you ask?
Having a Bad Dream(host)

For the past 16 months I’ve been using Dreamhost to host this site. For the most part, I’ve been pleased with their service and support, but lately things just haven’t been the same.
I originally switched over to Dreamhost at the recommendation – either personally or through what they’d written about Dreamhost on their sites – of quite a few “high-profile” designers (Mike Davidson, Jason Santa Maria, Dave Shea, Dan Cederholm, etc.). At the time I sent a few emails back and forth with Jason just about his personal thoughts towards Dreamhost, their reliability, support, bang for buck and a few other things. All in all I came away with a fairly solid opinion and recommendation of Dreamhost, and eventually I made the switch.

One of the most important things that you’ll need to do when you switch to a new computer—regardless of platform—is get your old files onto your new machine.

Fortunately, this task is actually fairly simple; so we’ll get right down to it. For the purposes of this article, I’ll be transferring files from a Windows XP Home machine onto a Mac running OS X Tiger (10.4.7 or newer) but it’s really not that much different if you’re using older (or newer) operating systems.

Apple’s recent foray into the home theatre market segment has got me interested. The Apple TV (or iTV as it was formerly known) is an intriguing product that I think has a lot of potential… at least in the United States. What I’m wondering about though is when (if ever) Apple will make that same TV and movie content that’s available to the US iTunes store available here in Canada.
While it’s not heavily featured on Apple’s Canadian website at the time of this writing, Apple TV still is being advertised and sold north of the border. Obviously it’s not being delivered yet – Apple has already pushed back the ship-date and the reasons have been heavily debated and discussed. Hopefully though, the fact that Apple is still choosing to market this product in several areas where the iTunes store doesn’t carry the very content the Apple TV is meant for means that they are well on their way to actually releasing some good content here in Canada.
