sIFR
sIFR stands for Scalable Inman Flash Replacement.
At first I thought this was meant to be a replacement for flash, but it turns out to be a way to replace text in the browser with a flash movie that shows an image of the text in whatever font you choose. The font doesn't need to be installed so the page will always appear exactly as designed.
It seems like rather a Heath-Robinson approach, but the idea is to improve accessibility without sacrificing the design. The text is still there, accessible to screen readers and search engines.
I think it's a better approach than using images, even with Alt tags.

BBC Climate Change Experiment
The first results from the BBC's Climate Change grid computing experiment have been announced.
The BBC are not accepting any new participants at the moment, but it seems there will be another non-BBC project. My climate model is still only 47% complete, but the site says to let it continue to run and it will send in the results on completion.
The overall result so far is: a 4 degree rise in temperatures in the UK by 2080
Not good news.

MicroISV on Hanselminutes
Scott Hanselman talks to Secret Geek Leon Bambrick on How to start your own MicroISV.
It has to be better than starting someone elses.
Hmmm, I can think of a few large companies that could easily turn into MicroISVs. No, that can't be the best way to go about it...
I just hope one of the 25 steps is "How to have a good idea no-one else has thought of yet". Although, I think you don't actually have to have a unique idea.
