			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems to happen at least once a year: due to a busy schedule, or rainy days, I don&#8217;t get a chance to cut my lawn for several weeks. By the time I get to it, the grass is so long that it chokes my mulching mower, and the usually diverting chore becomes a real job: I listen for the engine to bog down, then tilt up the mower&#8217;s base to prevent it from dying.</p>
<p>This year I decided to try a new technique: first I cut a series of stripes approximately every five feet:<br />
<img id="image650" src="http://www.barelyfitz.com/blog/upload/lawn1.jpg" alt="lawn1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Then I mowed the the lawn in the opposite direction:<br />
<img id="image651" src="http://www.barelyfitz.com/blog/upload/lawn2.jpg" alt="lawn2.jpg" /></p>
<p>My theory was that during the second pass of mowing, whenever the mower rolled over an area that had already been cut, it would have &#8220;room to breathe&#8221; and mulch up the grass, so the mower would not get bogged down.</p>
<p>i didn&#8217;t really think this would make a difference, but I was pleasantly surprised that it worked!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this comment in the article <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/04/18/14-tab-based-inferface-techniques/">14 Tab-Based Interface Techniques</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>I made some research a couple of months ago in search for the perfect tabbed interface. All but <a href="http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/">Barelyfitz’ Tabber</a> have the same flaw : their markup is semantic non-sense, ie there’s a UL list, then the tabs, which makes absolutely no sense when printed. On the contrary, Tabber starts from correct and sensible markup, and then generates a clean tabbed interface.</p>
