I meant to post this earlier, but if you’re in NYC next monday:

The 2nd Annual POBF ALS Awareness Fundraiser & The DVD Release Party for: “Everything Will Be Okay or How I Learned to Transcend Form, Live in the Now and Make Love in my Electric Wheelchair”

Good times, good people, good cause, and an open bar. I should be at the 7:30PM screening.

Due to rain last night some town had postponed their 4th of July fireworks. Millburn, NJ was one of them

Don’t miss these!

• Joe Hewitt releases a script for Firebug for iPhone
• jQuery 1.1.3 released
• Abe Fetting blogs some other iPhone scripting findings including keypress and drag&drop related events.

I’m reading John Resig’s Pro JavaScript Techniques and really digging it. Expect a review in the coming weeks.

I didn’t want to let today go by without a post acknowledging the 2nd birthday of Microformats.org and the related community.

Thought the first year was huge for microformats, the second one has seen additional growth in all areas from format maturity, to huge growth in the community and sites using various markup constructs, to greater support from application vendors.

Here’s a recap of a few recent news items or tidbits incase you missed them.

• John Allsopp’s book on Microformats was published
• NetNewsWire 3.0 is supporting microformats thus avoiding the need for one of my earlier hacks
• Other applications like Firefox are promising support in future releases
• Sites keep adopting various formats — from new sites like Twitter [hCard, XFN & hAtom] to older standbys like LinkedIn with 9million+ hResume based profiles!

So, Steve Jobs gives us web developers a double shot today with “One More Thing” of Safari on 3.0 on Windows and a “One Last Thing” of iPhone application development being ‘web standards’ based — just a another HTML, CSS & Ajax application.

While its absolutely great that Apple is embracing web standards in this way — great on many levels not the least of which is that it allows me as a web developer a few new avenues for work opportunities — I’m still left with a bit of a feeling of unease and anxiety.
