• Single-direction margin declarations
  By Harry Roberts, writing at CSS Wizardry:

  I’m not sure how I arrived at this rule, but I’m really glad I did and I would likely never ever change it. The basic premise is that you should try and define all your margins in one direction. This means always use margin-bottom to push items down the page, and margin-left to push them across the page.

  I never thought about this before, but it makes a lot of sense, and seems like such a simple conclusion in retrospect.

• High Steaks
  New steak house coming to church street from Tim Halvorson. Halvorson's Café is a personal favorite–a steady stand by, if you will–so I'm eager to see what he manages to pull off in a steak house. (And Burlington sorely needs a proper steak house.)
