Fifth Annual International Blue Beanie Day by Jeffrey Zeldman

Today, 30 November 2011, is the Fifth Annual international Blue Beanie Day in support of web standards. 
Standards keep the web from fragmenting into tiny fiefdoms best viewed with a particular browser or plug-in only. Web standards keep our content portable and accessible across platforms, devices, and operating systems. Each November 30, we celebrate. You wonderful people can help spread the word.

Ringtone of the Geek Friday Theme

Awesome, thanks for doing this! 

duplokat:

In episode 6 of the 5by5 podcast Geek Friday, Faith mentioned that people love the intro sound, and even used it as their ringtone.

I love it too and thought that was a great idea, but I had to re-google how to convert an mp3 into a ringtone. The whole thing took more than 2 seconds, so.. if you’re too busy, here you go:

geek-friday-ringtone.m4r

It starts with a bit of static, so I used time index 0:04 – 0:34 of the original Crookshanks mp3.

Dan Has Another Kid, Takes a Vacation

On Friday, 12 August 2011, My wife gave birth to our second child, a healthy baby girl, Marla June Benjamin. Everybody is doing great.

I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off and while I’m out, my friend, fellow podcaster Ryan Irelan will be standing in for me as co-host for all of my shows. Although they won’t stream live, they’ll all still be released over the course of the week.

Please direct any questions, comments, or concerns to my Producer Faith via our contact form or Twitter.

—Dan
