Corey Ehmke wrote up a funny comparison of the technologies used by the Obama and McCain campaigns on their websites. His conclusion? Obama is RESTful.

Glad to see 24 ways is back, for some holiday (web dev) cheer! Look for a new article every day until Xmas:
24 ways: Transparent PNGs in Internet Explorer 6
Drew McLellan kicks off the web community’s advent calendar 24ways.org, tackling a method for alpha-transparent PNG support in IE6.
When I find some time, I’ll look into making this site a little more consistent in IE6. They’ve also got a nice archive, from previous holiday seasons.
Today, I’m launching version 6 of nedward.org, a typographical grid-based layout, with heavy use of Helvetica Neue. This site has always used a similar shade of green, so I wanted to maintain that bit of consistency with the past, while introducing something very different. I also wanted to bring together my content from twitter, flickr, del.icio.us, and last.fm, while keeping it distinct from the weblog content — yea, I’ve gone back on my post is a post comments.
The last major revision of this site was launched on May 1 2005, but even that was somewhat of a realignment of the previous design, which dated back to 2001. I’m a big proponent of Cameron Moll’s realign not redesign rule — so I spent the past few years tinkering away, refining the same basic layout.
