Here is my collection of notes from attending An Event Apart Atlanta 2012. As I took notes, I had the thought that I’d be sharing them with co-workers and that it’d be easiest to just publish them here. I hope they are useful to someone else out there who didn’t take notes on something or [...]
Basecamp announces that it’s new version will not support old browsers! They will of course continue to support them in their “classic” version. But this is good news and as more implement this type of policy the internet will be happy. It used to be one of the biggest pains of web development. Juggling different [...]
What are “standards” coming to? Who’s guilty? Apple and Chrome: They’re supporting vendor prefixed properties like they’re a standard part of development.

Mobile and touch should be revolutionizing design and user experience. We don’t want to touch a tiny link or button. Back button is just stupid. Fitz’s Law, make things fat proximal targets for easy touching. People are lazy, let’s as designers LET people be lazy! Maybe even use the whole screen as your control. Eliminate [...]
