I spent a short time today playing with aural style sheets and Opera’s voice controls (in the beta verison of Opera here), for one thing the new Opera is very nice but it renders some visual things screwy which is not a shame but a crime (but as it’s only beta we shall remain calm), however the voice stuff is cool, even if it ignores most of the styling elements of CSS3 it says it adheres to (I might have got this wrong, I didn’t get long to play).

Also, the future is OBJECT.

I hate internet explorer. I’ve had it up to my eyes in doubled margins, 3 pixel borders, relative positioning and box model bugs. Internet Explorer must die, it’s the evil in my web monkey universe, the Aku to my Samurai Jack.

You know, I’d like a #cabal del.icio.us feed. I would. Like Penfold of old.

What did you read on the interweb before weblogs came along, did you read as much interweb content?

• 300†
  Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it.
• Little Miss Sunshine†
  Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way.
• Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
  Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool.
• Porco Rosso†
  Stylish, funny, exciting.
• Grave of the Fireflies†
  Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good.
• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
  The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging.
• X-Men: The Last Stand†
  Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
