Better Late Than Never
December 3rd, 2008
So Borepatch graciously chose me as one of his five bloggers to participate in a fun little endeavor, and I ungraciously missed it completely. What an ass!
It is the bookworm award, and the rules are as follows:
Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences. The CLOSEST BOOK, NOT YOUR FAVORITE, OR MOST INTELLECTUAL!
Having been caught at work with this, my entry will be very boring. The only book on my desk is a well-worn copy of Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Reference. So here goes.
In deciding among the many ways to introduce style sheets into your pages-the style tag, the style attribute, or imported from outside the document-you need to consider how important it is for you to separate design from content. The style tag technique distances HTML content from the styles associated with elements throughout the document. If you need to change a font family or size for a particular kind of element, you can do so quickly and reliably by making the change to one location in the document.
Boring!
So on to my five bloggers. This is funny, as there are probably not five people that read my blog. It might be wrong to re-tag those that have already participated, so here are three that have not to my knowledge, and they are three very worthy individuals.

Yikes! That’s as boring as the books in *my* office!
Want to at least post a title from home? Your admiring readers are curious.
I will do so when I get home tonight. I just finished Hemmingway’s excellent “A Farewell to Arms”, and will post what it contains on the page in question.
Nearest actual book is 3D Studio Viz R2 User’s Guide, an out of date piece of software for renderings.
I could do it…or pretend that I read this post from home, where the pickins’ is better.
I’m thinking A Farewell to Arms is more in line with the spirit of the meme.
I’ll think it over.
Cheater!
