Pete’s Perspective
Pete’s Perspective is a collection of my thoughts, rants, and raves on
subjects ranging from computer standards, to politics, to ease-of-use in everything from
everyday life to computers, to any topic where I feel an accurate analysis and portrail of the
facts is missing.
- 002: My First Amtrak Trip
- With the recent heightening of troubles for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation,
I thought it high-time for me to investigate the state of the railroad for myself, before
passing judgement. So on the return leg of my last business trip to Anaheim, I booked
passage on the Coast Starlight—and fortunately, that trip is in my past.
- 001: The Trouble With Em ’n En
- The art of typography has been all but absent in this age of the Web,
and the lack of proper usage of em and en dashes is one of the most visible
signs of this decline (and of correct gramar in general). Read this and find out what
the proper usage of each is—and
how to properly insert the characters in Web pages.
I’m particularly proud of this article, as it was accepted published by Web Wizard Jeffrey
Zeldman on A List Apart.
