I just got an email from someone at Apple informing me that the MIME type used by the first SVG document I ever made is out of date. What the.

He was testing an upcoming Safari release's new SVG-rendering capabilities, but that's not the point. How the hell he found the document, that's the bigger issue. Are there so few SVG documents on the Web that that one will get pulled into a "let's see how this handles the real world" testing suite?

(I make no apologies for the catchphrase seen in the document. It was all the rage when I created it.)

Argh, wunderland.com linked to VHEMT this week. (I'm not linking to them.) They're a "you-can't-be-serious" organization that is ostensibly arguing for the dieoff of humanity through cessation of all breeding. While I'm fairly sure that the literal part of this message is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, it's more true that it is actually a collection of angry "childfree" people who are moving beyond defending their lifestyle (which I support) to evangelism.

I despise all kinds of evangelism, unless done with subtlety. They are not subtle. Their most polished arguments are a collection of Nina Paley cartoons arguing that anyone who chooses to have children is an idiot, a racist, or a rapist. I'd like to tell them that they're not going to win any real converts with their attitude, but I suspect their ears are all stopped by inches of gluteal flesh.

Andy's a good guy and I hope his relationship with these jerks stops at pull-quoting.
