I think a portfolio is something that should be very interactive and intuitive. Check out what that has led to: circlecube’s interactive pog portfolio. I’ve been toying with trying to get something that was fun to look at, but also showed some work. Here is a first look at my Interactive portfolio of work which [...]
Well, so much for blogging each step in my process of creating this generative art series. I took a few steps in this iteration since the last one. But it was all in the spirit of one step. First I wanted to abstract the duplication of each ball/line so that it didn’t require copying blocks [...]
To make it more interesting and give more depth and texture to the display, I wanted to have more lines than one, so I’m now going with two for starters. Eventually I’d like to get up to a dozen or maybe even have them randomly self populate and die over time. Adding one more isn’t [...]
Proposals in the works for new media queries specific to touch enabled devices. Examples include pointer, which will differentiate wether the device has a fine or coarse pointer (finger vs mouse) and hover, which would say if the device supports hover states. I can see this being helpful and useful for building mobile friendly sites [...]

New additions to the plugin directory include: favorites, incorporating support forums into it's own tab for each plugin as well as support stats being displayed! Great! I think we also need the ability to give plugins ratings and reviews (bonus points if it can be done from within a wordpress admin dashboard when installing plugins). [...]

Find out what those needs are by using the short head philosophy to equate most searched things as the biggest needs of the users. Use personas to [...]
Great article at a list apart discusing the state of the industry regarding responsive images. This picks apart the set attribute of the img element from a surprisingly objective view coming from someone so close to the picture element. Insightful discussion about the principle behind the proposals than the actual solution too. If the working [...]
A great developer story about the differences on what Git is vs other version control and what Git is not. This is how we should learn it. I heard over and over that it was distributed, but never grasped what that meant, so here are a few links and explanations that will help unlearn version [...]
I'm very excited to share the news that the tween library from GreenSock (hands down the best tweening library I used in flash) is not ported for use in javascript! This will be great! I missed that simple syntax from as3 when animating javascript, and now I can have my cake and eat it too. [...]
