Milk. Pure magic.
[08:28 am]
Something for chess, or rather, milk lovers:
Kortchnoi is defeated by a cow in a chess game (TV ad).
Victor Kortchnoi is currently the oldest active grandmaster and a great personality.
I have no info about the cow, must be a new star!

vertical-align
[11:46 am]
I am a happy smiley!
It's all fine, but how do we align the smiley picture with the text?
One option that always worked is to create a table and throw the image and the text in two separate cells, apply valign="middle", and we are done. But that is an ugly solution.
The other option is to use vertical-align CSS property on inline-level elements that are children of another element.
I am a happy smiley!
All this is very nicely explained in Nicholas Gagne's article Vertical-Align Misuse.
