A Day in the LIfe seeks to monitor a selection of users as they use the internet for a day to evaluate a number of assumptions. Number of sites visited, use of back button, etc. It seems like the population that will be attracted to participate in A Day in the Life may be a [...]

I put my page through an XHTML validator, and it had a problem with a lot of my links that include ampersands (&’s). The validator seems to think that they’re delineating the beginning of a character entity. I know that I could replace the ampersands with the entity code, but most of the time, I’m [...]
