Sweet! Check out an excellent article on the advances here.

With FireFix 3 coming, how long before we see CSS 3 going mainstream?

Having listened to the pundits, zealots and supposedly uninterested people blather on and on about the iPhone, I decided to throw my hat in the ring.

10 things that will be said about the iPhone after release:

• Dvorak was right - what a hunk of over-hyped plastic!
• Hey, bet I can scratch the glass with a quarter just like the plastic iPod screens - lets sue!
• Damn Apple, I can’t load anything useful on this thing!
• WTF! It drops calls and loses reception? Didn’t Steve test this f*!%ing thing!
• I am not buying one until the initial bugs are worked…click…ring..ring…sorry had to reset my Treo.
• Hey wait, didn’t the $600 I paid include all the minutes I need?
• Apple released a new one - already!? My contract isn’t up for another 16 months!
• My son installed something on my iPhone and now it crashes.
• Honey it was a pornado!? I was trying to order you something from Amazon, I swear.
• Dvorak was right - Apple is going to change the world with this thing!

At the beginning of the year my resolution was to bring all my amazing, crazy and potentially brain dead ideas into public view.

The first part of the year I have been crazy busy with MailTank, but as the summer here in the south starts its slow simmer, I am delivering on that resolution.

As I mentioned in a previous post, SideSale, is nearing release. In my opinion it is a pretty sweet tool for using Paypal to sell things on your website.

Tonight I remapped my domains to their future homes. The first is Macurls.com, which now maps to f8p.com, so anyone can use it to create tasty little urls. A new public API is forthcoming for Macurls.com in a couple weeks.

I would love any tips about creating an OS X dashboard widget that uses an RESTful API, please drop me a line or comment if you have any tips, links or advice in general.

There are four other projects I have percolating to the surface, the plan is roll one out every month for the next four months.

If you are a designer or know a good xhtml/css designer drop me a line, Speedymac.com is in dire need of a revamp.

Bang! It is going to be a stellar summer.

I am so excited, SideSale, one of my personal projects has finally come to life!

My partnership in MailTank keeps me busy, but I just had to take an hour tonight to put SideSale to work here on my blog. Sort of kick the tires, eat my own dog food, → insert web 2.0 speak here - you get the point.

Anyway, SideSale is a service designed to help website publishers, bloggers or just about anyone producing content sell things on their sites.

SideSale is not an affiliate e-commerce service that provides products to sell. It does one thing, it inserts a “sale” into web sites using a single line of code, very similar to how Google Adsense works. The products or services sold are up to the site owner - whatever they want to sell is up to them.

SideSale supports Paypal for payment processing, though once the doors are open I will probably add Google Checkout.

When I said SideSale does only one thing, well that is not 100% accurate. There is a roadmap that includes a few surprise twists on the traditional e-commerce system. The first is already evident in the pricing structure for this service - SideSale will have a simple per month flat price - say goodbye to commission-based pricing.

Anyway, you should see I am selling a used MacBook Pro using SideSale right now, so act fast I only have one for sale! In the next couple weeks I will be adding a few more products.

Let me know what you think or if you run into any problems with my site because of SideSale.

For those curious, SideSale is hosted using Amazon EC2 and S3, with Google Gmail for Domains providing email service.

If you are interested in trying out SideSale, leave a comment or drop me a line at lon@sidesale.com.
