You can fit microdata into any markup. It's just some HTML attributes, plus the values that are already visible on your page.

Well, if you used microdata, you have an easy migration path, and if you used some other syntax, you don't. You can call that whatever you like, but it doesn't change the facts.

I didn't lose money, I just haven't received any additional royalties beyond the advance.

This is essentially everything I would have said on the subject. Python 3 is technically very good, but no one is using it, hence no commercial interest in the book. The optimist w…

Interesting deductions! I just wanted to pipe in here to confirm that your math and your stated assumptions are correct. My take is the standard 10%. My "top tier" status, as you f…

You mean like http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html ?

Here's the story about the name: I wrote http://diveintomark.org/archives/2010/01/29/tinkerers-sunset earlier this year, decrying the lack of "tinkerability" of the iPad and simila…

I (the author) would agree with this statement, except for the baffling fact that Google Chrome Frame has a non-zero number of users. So obviously some people thought "I don't want…

Pfft. I've sent Dave Winer at least one email telling him to stop using tables. (He didn't.)

My build scripts are such an "evolved" mish-mash of Python3, Python2, Java, makefiles, and shell scripts that I'm amazed they work for me , much less for anyone else. (This point w…

Ah, the oddities of CSS. The first issue is because I'm using custom fonts via @font-face. Firefox has made some... design decisions... that cause the effect you're seeing. I've ac…

Modernizr (linked at the end of my guide) can detect some of these features, plus a few others: http://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr My longer chapter on detecting HTML5 features …

Modernizr (linked at the bottom of my guide) can detect support for @font-face. It is decidedly non-trivial. http://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr

I'd like to use my current computer for 20 years: http://mark.pilgrim.usesthis.com/ Only 17.5 years to go!

This is a huge part of Android that, IMO, doesn't get enough press. On the iPhone, an "app" is a silo. You run it, it takes over, you go back to the home screen, it stops (modulo s…

Holy shit, Dave Winer still exists!

Did you miss the paragraph about snowclones? Snowclones are the new black.

No. It's just a blog post. Don't overthink it.

I've been leading. I've gotten rid of basically everything I can get rid of without asking for permission, and that has inspired my wife to clean up some of her stuff too. It took …

That post still gets 1500+ hits a month from people searching for variations of "fruit salad recipe." I get at least 1 email a month from random strangers who appreciated getting m…
