Spam That Makes Me Laugh: #001
November 23, 2005 – 5:03 pm
First in a series…. If you feel like it, we have enough in the account for you to get a couple. It is not very often that you ask for anything, but I have looked at these wrist watch es, and I see why you want one. So get it. This is a good online-site [...]

November 18, 2005 – 10:36 pm
John Allsopp has taken some amazing first-steps to define and catalog patterns for the web. Keep your eyes open for PatternQuiz, modeled after Dan Cederholm’s SimpleQuiz and a brand new WebPattern Wiki should be up at webpatterns.org soon.
Forward Progress
November 15, 2005 – 9:20 pm
Joe D’Andrea, who along with Vincent Murphy and Rebecca Taylor led the Web standards revolution on AT&T’s corporate site looks back on one full year with Web standards. The story at AT&T is in a lot of ways similar to that of McAfee and in other ways, different. Similar in the sense that it was [...]
Newsvine
November 9, 2005 – 9:33 am
Mike Davidson (almost) takes the covers off his eagerly awaited new venture. Newsvine promises to be a community driven news site with articles culled from everywhere….from major news outlets to the individual blogger and everything in between. Can’t wait to see how this grows!
CSS Modularization
November 2, 2005 – 3:12 pm
Mike Stenhouse articulates very well the kind of CSS management strategy that I have been using intuitively over the past couple of years and will continue to use in the future as the teams I am working with become larger and larger. I have learned along the way that sandboxing CSS rules is a good [...]
How I Spent My Weekend
October 31, 2005 – 7:14 am
My plan was simply to work on the primary navigation tab set. I also needed to do some prep for the weekly Web standards workshop today. But you know me…once I get started, it’s hard to stop. I just couldn’t help myself. I took a break on Saturday to help my brother move some furniture [...]
Molly Labels
October 23, 2005 – 8:17 pm
Molly has come up with a set of Web Design and Development Personality Indicators. I’d say I’m a SASS/SACE hybrid with one foot in the real world and the idealistic belief that comprimises never have to come at the expense of the user. Anyone who has worked with me would probably agree.
Cleanup on IE 7
October 14, 2005 – 12:16 am
Markus Mielke issues a Call to action: The demise of CSS hacks and broken pages. Time to get busy. Start moving all those IE specific hacks into conditional comments. Update There certainly isn’t any reason to panic right now. While conditional comments are a great way to segregate IE specific CSS, it’s not an emergency [...]
Simply Accessible
October 11, 2005 – 7:39 am
Derek Featherstone has created a great resource called Simply Accesible which is based on his recent presentation at Web Essentials 05, in Sydney, Australia. Derek has some great new thoughts on the design and authoring of accessible forms. I’m particularly excited about the idea of grouping all required form fields in their own “required” fieldset, [...]
