When working with HTML and CSS, I always want to find the best technique for solving a certain problem and use it every time. This philosophy can be very frustrating when the solution to certain problems is rather ambiguous, or certain problems can be solved in multiple ways, each with their own drawbacks. Using CSS to clear floats is a great example of a problem with many solutions, none of which is absolutely ideal.

I watch quite a few movies, and with Halloween right around the corner, my film watching is completely monopolized by the scary movie genre for about a month and a half leading up until the big night. I thought it would be good to talk about some of my favorite scary movies. If you have not seen some of these movies, head over to Netflix or your local DVD rental store *shudder*, and get them to your house as soon as you can.

After quite a bit of effort and trolling around on Django's google groups, I've finally migrated my website to use Django 1.0. This is outwardly a very small change and if I did the transition properly, no one should have even noticed. The main benefit that I see from this is not having to worry as much about backwards compatibility as Django moves forward.

I've been paying attention to a site called Authentic Jobs for a while now. Not because I am looking for a job, mind you, but mainly because I like to know what people are looking for in modern designers. It is a great service which is kind of a hub where a lot of design-centric people go to look at potential jobs. However, one thing that has really been bothering me about this site has to do with the way people think they should go about trying to appeal to talented designers.
