While at UCSD, I was introduced to the world of HTML version 4.0. Back in that time, around the year 2000, I began my coding for web content with something that looked similar to:

HTML 4.0 example:
<center>
 <table width="400px">
  <tr>
   <td>
    <p><font face="arial" size="2" color="white">Here is some white text in Arial font at a 12 pixel size.</font></p>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</center>

Granted at the time I was being educated through the Art Department (specifically ICAM Department), which tended teach a less-technical and more ‘what ever means necessary’ method of programming. So HTML basics were all I knew.

Little did I know that at that time the W3C had issued the new and ever more elegant XHTML. It wasn’t until the end of my undergraduate education that I had discovered how archaic HTML 4.0 had become.

You can find me on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/59595372Teri has pulled me into the world and existence that is myspace. I am not a fan of it. I especially do not like how poorly coded/executed it is for layouts and what have you (see Mike Industries for his rant on myspace… he puts my thoughts into words on the subject).

On the positive side of things, myspace does allow me to keep in touch with people I haven’t talked/written to in a while; after all I am poor at contacting people (I hate my cell phone and am currently looking for a better Email solution over my Yahoo account) I have a new iPhone which I love and am using a new @mikegelhaus.com IMAP email account, life hasn’t ever been this easy. So hopefully now I may improve upon that. We shall see.

On a side note. I truly think that myspace may find more user-ship if they created a Flickr-esque web object or an RSS feed for your friends list so that people like myself can add to our own sites as well. Just a thought.
