Real exciting to me as far as style sheets are concerned are Chris Casciano's nineteen homepages, the same content rendered differently by nineteen different stylesheets. I'm not a guru of cross-browser compatibility (I'm working with only IE 5.0 on Win98) nor a pro web designer (amateur at best), but I've tried my own hand at creating alternate homepage layouts—>temporarily unavailable alternate style sheets using what should be a safe set of stylings.

The parents came and went, we had a good time. It was fun being the interpreter for them, although Shirley might add that she shouldered most of the burden. I paid my first visit to Badaling Great Wall and the Ming Tombs (missable). Stayed at the Haoyuan Binguan (Good Garden Guesthouse) courtesy of my parents, a siheyuan four-sided courtyard house in a hutong just a 10 minute walk from Wangfujing. Saw a T-shirt I'm going to buy when I go back with Dave next week, had a big picture of Lei Feng on the front. Also bought Water Margin comic books. Bonus! Added another style variation.

Dave is here, we're having fun. Try validating my html, or validating my css. Another stylesheet, number 5. I'm thinking of switching my pages to php.

Dave left, the Silk Market is the new must-see destination in Beijing, got myself some cheap Levis and Nikes. I downloaded Mozilla release candidate 1, and found my page to be atrocious so I fixed it up to something simple. Although it has now degraded to junk in lynx :P

I forgot to mention that we found the Starbucks in the Forbidden City. It's true! As you leave the last big pavilion behind and are about to enter the garden at the north end of the complex, look for a small building up against the big red wall on the right-hand side of the gate. Just inside the door you will see a Starbucks sign. Dave took a picture of me in front of it.
