Three Hundred
You pray the story holds together looking at the visual magnificence. So many times we watch visual treats to be left unmoved by characters and the stories. So I hope this isn’t the case with 300. The style of the photography is spellbinding. It looks raw and romantic in equal measures. Check out the trailer, high definition.
Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.
Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.
The film brings Miller’s(Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

“There is no business to be done on a dead planet” - David Brower
The 1% for the planet charter, taken directly from their website. Help market these people. If you’re in the position, something to consider?
Whereas, we do not believe our government, or any government, is doing enough to protect and restore the health of our planet, to work toward sustainable commerce, to exercise full cost accounting in our use of non-renewable resources, and to tax them accordingly.
And whereas, we recognize we do not have totally sustainable and harmless businesses, or lifestyles, and we have an obligation to mitigate the damage we cause, regardless of whether or not we make a profit.
Therefore, we have decided not to wait for any government to do the right thing. We are committing our businesses to donate at least 1 percent of our net revenues to efforts that protect and restore our natural environment.

Too much accessibility - TABINDEX
A cool article from the Web Access Centre Blog over at the RNIB on the use or misunderstood use of the Tabindex attribute.
With such a simple attribute promising a whole lot of accessibility, it’s easy to muddy the workings of a page and its accessibility if its use isn’t considered correctly.
To be frank, I’ve rarely seen the TABINDEX attribute applied without it creating more problems than it solves.
Too much accessibility - TABINDEX, pertinent musings that is well worth a read.
