Microsoft Considers WebKit for Internet Explorer?
This from Appleinsider “Addressing a developer conference in Sydney Australia, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the idea of using WebKit as the rendering engine within its web browser was “interesting” and added “we may look at that.”
Think of the hours of development time that would be saved! Can you hear me big baby Jesus? This is what I want for christmas!
Let it be known that if Microsoft adopts WebKit then forces it into the base of OS installations effectively eliminating IE6/7/8?. Although highly unlikely I will immediately give them my left testicle, and promise to not to bad mouth them to everyone I know. I would much rather be a one-ball wonder, than continue on in a world where the most used browser interprets clean modern markup much in the same way a dyslexic person reads a newspaper article.
But that’s what we have to deal with when a lot of people think the internet is the blue “e” on their desktop.

My Side Project
CB175 Frame stripped down
On the way home from work, I spotted a cool little Honda on the side of the road for 200 bucks. After thinking it over… and talking with the man selling it I found out that it had been in storage for nearly 30 years and hadn’t been registered since 79. I’ve been looking for one of these little hondas for awhile so in a way it validates my impulse buy.
I strapped up the tired old bike and brought the little honda to it’s new home. Now for some initial inspection. The tank was rusty, the carbs were rotted and full of varnish not a good start. I dropped the tank off at a radiator shop to have it cleaned. Did my best to clean the carb, replaced the oil, threw a new battery on it, slapped my newly cleaned tank filled it up with a little bit of gas and gave it a good kick. To my surprise it fired right up!
Luckily the electrical worked except for the brake light ( Which later I found out wasn’t completely hooked up ). So now I am beginning the process of tearing everything apart and doing a frame up resto-mod to it. I like to think of it as my winter project. I just hope it really only takes the winter to complete it.
