I’ve come to the conclusion that Internet Explorer is the reason I am going bald. Not genetics. Not male pattern baldness. Internet Explorer.

I am tired of creating alternate stylesheets, chalk-full of crazy CSS hacks. I’m tired of creating alternate image sets because IE can’t render >8bit .PNGs (w/ alpha transparency) correctly. The list goes on…
