Just incase your one of the 50% who read cubicgarden.com through RSS only, you might have missed the style and layout change of cubicgarden.com. I've adopted the popular Asual theme and tweaked it into something more tasty for myself. As I write this, I am not finished yet. I need change the fonts and the sizes to fit with the cheq background. I'm also planning print and presentation stylesheets for myself, so I can easily do a presentation of an idea from my own blog entries. I'm hoping to push out a stylesheet switcher for those who do not use Firefox or Opera browser. So at least you can change the background to something more readable (sorry I have excellent 20/20 vision and can read off the cheq without a problem). This also gives me a chance to get much more creative with CSS and maybe play with Aural stylesheets which should work in Opera 8? Talking of which, its interesting Opera is following Apple by trying to win over the education market first.

Some new manifestos….
A couple of manifestos which I've been reading recently…
From the gaping void blog
[The ChangeThis blurb:] “You've read the Cluetrain, now Hugh MacLeod brings you The Hughtrain. A manifesto on brands, blogs, and the now of advertising and marketing.”
P2P manifesto Via Howard Rheingold's Smartmobs.com
P2P is unstoppable
P2P is positive for companies
P2P is positive for the market
P2P is good for usersAll the readers can create their own P2P Manifesto, free to edit this original P2P manifesto.
The idea is to then collect on the blog all the different P2P Manifesto's releases, to create a good knowledge base point about P2P issues.
Howard Rheingold's own Mobile and Open: A Manifesto
Only a cockeyed optimist would forecast an open, user-driven, entrepreneurial future for the mobile Internet. This should not prevent us from trying, however. Sometimes, envisioning the way things ought to be can inspire people to work at making it that way. That's what manifestos are for.
