Broadband stats improving enormously, but many still have to use dial-up.

My name is Andrew and I confess, I have never blogged. I might be the only person in the office to have never blogged before now.

Fox News Chicago picks a Digett created website as one of the best around.

I'm lazy, stressed and short on time, so make it easy for me, will ya'?

Firefox edges out IE in Digett web site traffic?!!

In Seth's post on the subject of compromise, I almost felt like I was reading my own work, which, admittedly, sometimes takes on the voice of a grumpy ol' codger.

There are two main things I dislike about working with Flash: Messing with the complicated OBJECT tag, and duplicating work. The object tag forces you to properly encode your flash variables, and write them twice (once for Internet Explorer, once for other browsers). Yuck. Luckily, this is a solved problem with FlashObject. This provides a simple javascript API to replace HTML elements with Flash elements in just a couple simple lines of code, without having to mess with that awful OBJECT tag. It also handles the flash variable encoding stuff for me, so I can get back to writing the website. One of Digett's latest projects, the Quintessa redesign with Six88, allowed us to flex our flash muscles and kick it up a notch.
