Rethinking form validation

Janko at Warp Speed discusses the idea of letting users submit web forms while missing 'required' fields and letting them know they will need to enter them later to finish processing the request.

While this idea won't work for all web forms.. for some, it makes quite a lot of sense. He uses the example of a leasing application where the form a data entry person is using doesn't have all the required fields on it but should still be saved in a 'draft' state until it does.

Neat idea.

Waves to Wine Training Ride Summary: 72mi

Here is the summary from the cycling training ride my girlfriend and I did on Sunday, July 18th 2010.

On September 25 - 26, 2010, I'm joining more than a thousand cyclists for the Bike MS: Waves to Wine Ride. This two-day bike ride isn't a race, but it does raise money in the race to find the cure for multiple sclerosis.

Last year, cyclists raised over $1.5 Million to help the 20,000 Northern Californians living with MS, a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Researchers are making progress, but the cause and cure are still over the horizon. And that's why I saddle up to ride.

With this journey, I'm helping the National Multiple Sclerosis Society fund research to find the cause, cure and treatment of MS. My participation also helps support services for people affected by MS. My fundraising supports the ride's 2009 goal of $1.75 million.

Please help people living with MS in our community by making a one-time, tax-deductible donation. Click on the link at the bottom of this message to visit my personal page to make a donation. Any amount you feel comfortable giving is deeply appreciated.

With your support, we can make a positive impact today in the lives of 20,000 men, women and children with multiple sclerosis.

Thank you!

I'm an awesome person and would love to donate to your ride, Alex!
