I'm Brie, a 22 year-old graduate of Slippery Rock University's Computer Science department. My interests include Linux (generally and Ubuntu), networking, BSD-style operating systems including my own, BrieSD, translating English-Spanish-English for open source projects and LAMP configuration. Aside from that, I enjoy photography, making short films and soccer.
Posterous is one of my favorite new(ish) web sites!

Internet Explorer FTW
Bet you thought I'd never write that and mean it! So, I got the following straight from the horse's mouth, also referred to as Internet Explorer Platform Preview Guide for Developers[1] in certain circles.
Support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) has become one of the most requested features for implementation in Internet Explorer, and is a powerful way to add attention-grabbing visuals to a website with minimal markup and low bandwidth overhead.
With the Internet Explorer Platform Preview, Microsoft is proud to introduce support for much of the basic SVG feature set, with support for even more expected in future platform pre-releases.
As you may know, I'm a fan of SVG, having spent a lot of time in college writing SVG widgets[2] to recreate form elements in SVG using JavaScript, instructed by the wonderful Dr. David Dailey [3], also known as the man behind "An SVG Primer for Today's Browsers" [4][5] (in cooperation with the W3C, of course).
If you are unfamiliar with what exactly SVG does or you're just new, see this article which will list 9 of a number of reasons why SVG is important for the web. [6]
