It was the night before Xmas night, and only my keys stirred - and my mouse, of course. Nothing much in the news today, other than the rumor mill has picked up on the "mini-iPod" meme and added an iLife update as the likely news of MWSF 2004.
As for reading material, I can heartily recommend Jakob Nielsen's Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2003 (via Simon), which should be carved in marble slabs and sent out to every incompetent web site designer out there.
No wait, we'd run out of marble. Better let Santa Claus fill their stocking with BLINK tags...
