A conversation between two geeks

Picture this conversation between these two handsome geeks. We can use attribute selectors to target the 'cite' attribute of the <blockquote> element to add their portraits (courtesy of Richard Rutter). What a shame IE users won't see them ;)

Geek banter

I’ve always thought it would be handy to have a little portable music player for those moments when you want to kill a bit of time, say on the odd trip up to London or down at the gym. The iPod shuffle is great for this as it’s random nature fits perfectly with my usage patterns.

I guess I’m looking for a powerbook equivalent to the Home on an iPod idea, where my powerbook has all the files. Simply connecting the powerbook to my monitor isn’t that simple, as I would have to get a ADC to DVI convertor and use up the only firewire port on the powerbook.

At the end of Oct I put in my order for a 17inch 1.8GHz G5 iMac with Airport, Bluetooth and a 160GB hard drive. Checking out the status page it looks like delivery is set for sometime this week and I have to say I’m quite excited.

If you delve into the source code of this page you'll see that the 'cite' of each quote is different and points to an individual URL on each gentlemans' site.
