Mowser Makes the Web Nicely Mobile
Just reading at MobHappy and a new web service/application has been released that should make things a lot nicer for those of us who take the time to develop mobile formatted websites so that those of us who like to view websites on the mobile have something plesant to look at.
Mowser is a "combination of a transcoder (so mobile users can visit full HTML sites), a directory of mobile-friendly sites, and keywords (delivering quick access to certain sites and information — for instance, “w Las Vegas” sends you to the weather.com page for Las Vegas)."
The really neat thing about Mowser, versus using sites/services such as Google's Mobile Web and Skweezer is that it takes the stylesheet that was used to make the site handheld friendly, and then breaks the page into smaller and already formatted versions.
Check out MMM on Mowser, then add Mowser to your mobile browser to have a much better mobile experience.
That all being said, I did fix a number of items relating to mobile formatting over the past week. Do let me know if you run into any issues still.

I found it interesting that in the video this gentleman sent to the news, he compared himself to Jesus Christ, and made references to being pierced and hung on a cross. Obviously, he had SOME knowledge of Scripture. I can't help but wonder whether someone had tried to reach out to him before.
I don't think it's cool that Mowser inserts illegal ads into everyone's content:

Hey Kevin; Mowser is a product of the AdMob folks, and per the terms of using Mowser, one does agree to the ads from AdMob being placed on there.
It's not at all illegal. One is using a free service at the expense of ads being placed there. It is up to the content provider if they want to use Mowser or another service to do so.
