I've hated Quark for years, so I've little sympathy for those who are tied to it because of archives of 3.2 versions of their long documents. Then again, I haven't worked with Adobe InDesign yet, so can't say whether or not it is much of an improvement.

Flotsam
While I'm celebrating what the Internet brings to me is as good a time as any to note that I've seen two oddities in my referrals recently: InstaPundit and Anil Dash. I can't find links to me anywhere there. But I did find The Destruction of Penn Station and some other interesting stuff.10:23:39 AM # Google It!

Every day I learn something I did not know. Clicking around the sites in close proximity to me, I found Ascription is an anathema to any enthusiasm, which kindly pointed out that I could list my neighbors using AnyWho. Thanks, AT&T, for checking required elements before submitting the form rather than before executing the query.9:49:42 AM # Google It!

News Day
In case you haven't heard, today is Steve Jobs's keynote at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. The keynote's a good show, if only for watching the bloopers. Who knows what surprises Steve has in store for us this time? Wild rumors from Merrill Lynch, of all places.8:42:00 AM # Google It!
