On the move...
Regarding the lack of posting here: last week we moved from Tewksbury to Bridgewater (so I apologize if I haven't replied to any email you may have sent). To summarize: moving's no fun, unpacking is better than packing, and Comcast sucks.

Yahoo! Shopping Gift Finder
The product manager for Yahoo's Gift Finder writes about it:
I want to take this time to discuss the Gift Finder we created along side a great Y! partner, ChoiceStream out of Cambridge, Mass. The gift finder was built as a collaboration between Yahoo!

[W]e set out to make a simple, comfortable gift-giving tool that can be used to provide recommendations for products, product categories, brands, and even stores.

It's unique to the web by its breadth and depth and its ease-of-use -- we're very proud of it.

Learning CSS
I've had designer (and non-designer) friends of mine ask me how they should go about learning CSS. (If you don't know what that is, no need to keep reading...) Like I did with HTML, I fumbling my way through the early days, practicing with it until I learned what I now know. Unfortunately, that's no help to someone new who wants to learn CSS now.
Well, I found this blog entry -- Learning CSS -- that points to a bunch of good references to learn CSS. So if you're new to CSS and want a crash-course, check it out.
If, on the other hand, you want a big page chock full of categorized CSS resources, go here...
