Way cool

In the picture above it says HTML5. What the heck is that? If you maintain a Web site, you already know about the latest markup language and you will drool. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and is the lingua franca of every Web site. 5 means five, and is the latest iteration of the language. If you’re using a modern browser you will enjoy a richer experience when visiting a compliant Web page. (If you are among the roughly 20% of people still using Internet Explorer 6, you are in the Stone Age. Switch to Firefox!)

Clicking here will send you to a site that has the drum kit shown above. Clicking on the little squares will trigger various sounds of drums, cymbals, cow bells and so on. You can change the tempo, too, from geezer poky to hyper. Whether this turns out to be a good use of your time, I am not to judge. But compared to Solitaire, I find it almost equal in value. Maybe even more equal.

If you duplicate the choices shown in the picture, you can see where I’m at. Is it cool? Or am I an irredeemable geezer?
