Some great thoughts on CSS for any level. Great idea to have this evolving guide to CSS architecture, so many articles are so specific many people have forgotten the architecture and process behind the css which makes it an easy tool to build and maintain sites.

Yes, I’m weary of another browser, but I’m confident that amazon knows what they are doing as far as browsers. I’m expecting Silk to actually render valid code according to specs and most likely will support many new features like other current browsers. Although, it really isn’t a competition between others since it’s only available [...]

Great summery of all the things I’ve thought about regarding cross browser design. I hadn’t thought about the TV example before, but it is true. TV has solved this problem seemingly without a headache. Old tvs show black and white, small screens may crop the image, while widescreen shows full picture and HD shows HD. [...]

Great thought about designing for mobile first, and using the default block level styles for the block-level elements in our mobile version since they all already have the 100% width and are, well, block-level. Floating elements is such a part of a site design that we can write less code by starting with Mobile first. [...]

A very well done javascript experiment. I really like the additive blending effect, makes me think of the star rendering in Planetary, the iOS app from Bloom.
