When I first heard "Nothing Left To Lose", Mat Kearney's single on the radio, I thought it was the latest from Coldplay. Yeah, his voice sounds that much like Chris Martin's. At first, you'd think this is a bad thing. However, it works... And it works well.

In addition to the songs that sound like Coldplay, he's incorporates a completely different style in a majority of his songs in which he raps ("Undeniable", "Girl America", "In The Middle", "Wait", "Bullet"). These are remeniscent of former "House of Pain" rapper Everlast with his solo album "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues".

If I were to tell you that you could mix Everlast with Coldplay and get a great sound, you'd probably think I was crazy. Well, here you go "Mat Kearney - Nothing Left To Lose", give it a listen. I'm bettin' you're gonna enjoy it. It'ss a great album that you can put in, hit play, and not have to worry about skipping any tracks.

First off, what is the "alt" attribute? Well, the "alt" attribute "is used in HTML documents to specify text which is to be rendered when the element to which it is applied cannot be rendered. In HTML 4.01, the attribute is required for the img and area element types (wikipedia. com)". Even though it is required for img and area elements, many, many developers forget or just plain don't use it. How can we blame them? They know where their images sit, and they know that they will always appear, right? WRONG!!! Here is a perfect example where having the "alt" attribute defined is critical:

E-mail Marketing

Many companies use nicely formatted HTML e-mails with images to inform their potential customers of deals they are offering.

Problem: I use "Thunderbird" for all my personal e-mail accounts. In order to prevent any malicious content from harming your PC, Thunderbird will disable all images that are contained in e-mails until you explicitly allow them to appear (Outlook does this as well).
