Apple has a great style guide that has some great tips for Tech writers and others who deal with writing about technology. <http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macos8/pdf/apple_styleguide98.pdf>

Last night Amy and I were talking about web browsers. IE 4.5 is much more stable that NS 4.5 on her machine, not to mention faster. I've been sticking with Netscape, but now it seems like the majority of the browsers out there will either be made the Evil Empire or the Other Evil Empire. Now I know that Mozilla is and will always be an open source project, so Netscape>AOL>AOLTW won't actually control it, but I'm not exactly happy about the situation.

However, the alternative that is available right now is <http://www.icab.de> which, after it's big splash about this time last year, continues to grow and become more reliable and robust. I keep trying it out, poking my head in for a quick look and then running back to Netscape 4.5/4.6.

I finally purchased "All Tomorrow's Parties" last night as Amy and I were out. I haven't started it yet, as she and I are reading "Harry Potter and the Something of Secrets" to each other. She read the first book of the series out loud, in the car as we had been driving 250 miles each way to Grants Pass to be with my family over the last couple of weekends.

Now we've got the the second book, and have read 82 pages into it. More will be read tonight with any luck.
