  • Just Enough Research

    Highlights from Just Enough Research

  • RWD, connectivity, thoughts

    This week has been a great week for reading on the web. There have been good old fashioned blogging back and forths going on between Ethan and Luke, with Peter-Paul chiming in as well. It has also been a week where the idea of Offline First came out and received quite a bit of attention.

  • Brooklyn

    I spent last week in Brooklyn. It was my first time being there, and as a Portlander, I had heard how similar the two are time and again. I went for work meetings, finally met my coworkers (hooray!), and attended Brooklyn Beta with the horde of webbish people in a large hangar on Friday.

  • No internets

    I recently got back from a beach vacation. What made this unusual is that I went on vacation and took zero internet capable devices.

  • Style Guides: Why I love them

    I gave a talk at RefreshPDX on Style Guides.

  • How to Tell When You're Tired

    I’ve recently been really interested in the ideas of work. It all started when I read <em>The Working Life</em> a few years ago and it has continued to be something I am drawn to.

  • The Library at Night

    Highlights from The Library at Night

  • Remote Work

    I’ve been thinking a lot about remote work lately. Mostly because I have been a remote worker since the end of last November with two different companies.

  • Transition

    A few weeks ago I got an email from a local friend introducing me to someone I have long admired in the web community. Then I got an email from that same person asking me if I wanted to work with his start up.

  • Writing

    Several years ago, I either read or heard a story that Jeffrey Zeldman told. He was looking for a designer on short notice to step in and finish a project. The person he found had a blog and that was a key factor in Jeffrey hiring him.

  • The Design of Everyday Things

  • CSS Frameworks

    Last week while at CSS Conf, there were two frameworks announced and discussed during two of the talks. The first was Topcoat, which is spearheaded by the folks at Adobe and the second was Pure, developed by Yahoo.

  • CSS Conf

    Just over a week ago G and I made the trek from Portland down to Amelia Island, FL. We went for a few days of sun on the beach, but also because I attended the inaugural CSS Conf.

  • Progress

    Well, it's happening, I am making progress on a goal that I have had for several years. I am really learning JavaScript.
