Garrett Murray is leaving Blue Flavor :(
Garrett is venturing out on his own and dedicating more time to his burgeoning sketch comedy career. It’s definitely sad for those of us at The Flava, but we understand and know it’s the right move for him. G has been freaking great to work with, and his humor is definitely going to be missed in our meetings. We’ll be sending him off like the rockstar he is in his last hurrah — the Blue Flavor party at SXSW. Good luck, G!

Wired: Keep It Simple, Stupid
Wired’s story on 37signals is a good read — fair, balanced, and interesting. There are a few factual inaccuracies and a few odd comments (like “they would rather fail than adapt,” in the last paragraph), but overall it’s quite well-done.

Seattle is the country’s best city for living healthy
According to CookingLight magazine, Seattle’s “fresh local foods, walker-friendly streets, and inclusive attitudes help make Seattle America’s best city for healthy living.” The NW fares well, as Portland is number two on the list. Sort of humorously, Kansas City ranks number 20, thanks to it having the purest water in the country. Seriously? The purest water? Hah. Stretching to fill out that list, guys? Well, I guess you need something to wash down all that awesome BBQ with.

Your markup validator
Your markup validator, whether it’s the one on the W3C site or one built into your favorite coding tool, is a debugging tool. It should be used as such. Its job is to find errors in your code, so that you can fix them (or at least be aware of them).
Your markup validator, whether it’s the one on the W3C site or one built into your favorite coding tool, is not a measuring stick for greatness. It’s not to be used on other people’s code for the purpose of pointing out their shortcomings as a markup coder so that you can make yourself feel better than them. The fact that your code passes a validator does not make it better than the next guy’s code. There is almost never a good reason for you to be validating someone else’s code. Usually, if you’re validating someone else’s code, it’s because you’re being an asshole.

A Conversation with Matt Mullenweg
A really nice interview with Matt that hits on many different topics, including upcoming features in WordPress, PHP4 vs. PHP5, and PHP vs. other web development languages. Most relevant to the readers of this blog: at the end, Matt says: “(If I were building WordPress from scratch, starting today), the only other language (besides PHP) I would consider using is Python. I really like Python.” Overall, really good little interview.

Google Static Maps API
Similar to their charts API, Google offers up a static maps interface, whereby map images are served up directly via nothing more than a URL and some parameters. Neat.
