Tables aren't evil...
Skeptic: Dan, Dan, Dan... I see tables on this page, but your logo at the top says "sans tables." What's up wit dat?
Dan: Skeptic, skeptic, skeptic... "sans tables" means that I'm not using tables for layout purposes. I'm not using shims and 's to hold table cells open.
Skeptic: But aren't tables evil, shouldn't you be using CSS instead of tables?
Dan: There's where you're wrong. In fact, in CSS2, there are numerous styles just for dealing with tables and their styling. Look at the style sheet on the blog, and you'll see a style like "border-collapse: collapse". This is a style just for tables. In fact, there is absolutely no formatting information on the table tags in my posted schedule. All colors and borders are done with CSS. Use tables to your heart's content, so long as it's for tabular data, such as the DEVCON schedule below. Tables aren't evil, they just need to be used in the right context.
Skeptic: Ahhh... now I feel better...

Back in the office
Well, it's Wednesday, my "day off" when I'm supposed to be working at home, but the slackers at the day job are screwing things up again :), so I'll be there all morning. Then this afternoon I'll probably sign the papers to refinance our condo and get rid of the evil credit card beast (boy I can't wait). And then to celebrate, Kris and I are going to try and catch MIB II at the matinee. We can all use a little escapism.
