Today I found a new place that I’d like to explore, it’s called Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island in Florida. From the views painted on their web site Tween Waters is a place you could loose yourself in. Forget all the nagging bosses, ringing phones and screaming children, you can just go lay on the beach and sip fruity drinks, read a book and forget the rest of the world existed. However if you crave a bit of adventure they have a wonderful spa, beautiful golf course, all the standard water sports or sea plan rides to explore the area.

Their site is one of those that looks pretty good on the outside, it’s light and airy and makes you feel as if your almost there.

When we look at what’s inside that counts their site needs an overhaul as there is table based layout and old deprecated code. They could increase their search engine rankings, reduce their file size and load times with a good overhaul of their front-end code.

They weighed in with:
- 38 HTML errors
-CSS passed.
-Failed accessibility test

Overall I would give the site a C+.

I’ve been using sprited images for about three years now and they’ve worked very well for a number of reasons including ease of maintenance and fewer http requests.

Here’s a good article on how some of the big guys are using sprited images.

JetBlue founder and Chairman David Neeleman has announced plans to start up his fourth airline, a domestic carrier in Brazil, pending local Government approvals. Mr. Neeleman, who was born in Brazil, has raised $150 million to finance the as-yet-unnamed carrier.

The airline, to be based in São Paulo, plans to commence operations in early 2009 and, ultimately, will serve most major markets throughout Brazil with as many as 76 brand-new Embraer aircraft by 2013.

In the wee hours of this morning my 11 month old son was in bed with us and in an effort to squeeze a few more minutes of sleep out of the night I was showing him the photos on my iPhone. I would use a simple swiping motion with my finger and he’d mimic the action until he was going through the photo album. Now either my child is extremely talented which may be a given or the iPhone is extremely easy to use, or both. I’m partial to both with my son edging out the phone by a ways.

Now I know this may not seem as interesting to you as it was to me, but I’ve owned several phones over the years and none of them could be used as easily by my infant children at 5:30 in the morning. Maybe I’m sleep deprived or something else, but I think this would make a great selling point and commercial for Apple to use. So easy even an infant could use it!
