I have never really been big on New Year’s resolutions. Usually by the 3rd I’ve forgotten whatever it was I was supposed to be doing differently. This year’s different, though. If you’ve been following me on Twitter you have probably noticed me posting my five-mile run times. My goal — and it’s a tough one, I’ll give you that — is to run 1,825 miles this year. That’s 5 miles/day, every day of the year … 365 * 5 = 1825. If I miss a day, I’ll run 10 miles the next day. And I plan on running the LA Marathon again this year, so that will no doubt give me some free days. Am I crazy? Sure. Everyone seems to think that it’s a “bad” goal. Everyone, in fact, has been violently and aggressively opposed to the idea and basically told me I was a horrible person for even considering it. (To be fair, Kelly has merely said that it’s a stupid plan, but he’s been more or less supportive.) So there you go.

Relative Widths and CSS
“I’d love a proportional-width relative-positioning design for my weblog, but I’m too afraid of cross-browser compatability issues. I don’t want to spend more than a weekend figuring out how to get two columns to work in three browsers.” -
I have to agree with Dan’s sentiment here. It’s a bear to get relative positioning to work. I’ve got a two-column layout on my main site and a three-column layout here. I know that things look great at 1024×768 on IE6/PC, but I’m not so sure about other browser/OS configurations. My pages should be CSS and (x)HTML compliant, but does that really mean they render nicely? I doubt it. I’d love to please everyone, but I just don’t know if it’s possible without spending hours (days?) making hacks for every browser/OS combination out there. My stats tell me that almost all my visitors are using IE5 or better on a PC. Is it really worth the effort to try to be Netscape / Mac-friendly? I’d like to know. Are any of my visitors using Macs or Netscape? How do my pages look to you?
