A splattered world

Indeed. I think it is time we examine what type of culture we want to live in, and work towards it.

And, yes, I do think that a single post title—instantly amplified and multiplied—has an effect on how individuals relate on a social level.

We need to understand that we are currently building the future.

The Faerie Queene

I was searching for public domain epic poems that I could use in testing some markup. I hit Don Juan and Divine Comedy before deciding to use chunks of The Faerie Queene.

I found two groovy sources for it: the incomplete Wikisource entry, and this read along site.

Beginning in January 2012, Mike is going to read The Faerie Queene and we’re all invited along. The site is already impressive, and it’s bound to become more so once he’s underway. I hope at some point he expands the about page to a feature length movie.

Narrowing in

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Mixed tensor

I trimmed down the code for y’all. Here is the most minimal parts of it. How can I make this work in Opera? (yes, and maybe even IE). By work in Opera I mean render like it does in Webkit and Gecko, like so:
Example rendered in Safari

Apparently the magic that allows this to work is the css height: 0; declaration. I’m not sure why that is, but it gives me the chills (and probably nightmares entitled Box Model).

[crayon lang=”html”]

[/crayon][crayon lang=”css”]
span.subdraft {
display: inline-block;
}
span.subdraft sup {
height: 0;
float: left;
}
[/crayon]

Or, if it’s easier, you can download a html file (css embedded).

A loss for words

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series Mixed tensor

Knowing that my task would be easier if I had the words I went on a quest to find the name for setting a superscript directly above a subscript Example. The closest I came was Mixed Tensor, which is, like, a math thing.
I’ve searched typographic sites, and linguistic sites, a reverse dictionary.

And I gave up.
