The talk is highly geared to working with designers that already know HTML and CSS. Unfortunately, that’s a limited subset. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a lot of them. I wonder how you convince designers not working in HTML to start picking it up.
One of my favorite points is that […]

I gotta say… I’m a little unimpressed with this talk. He makes some valid points, but rather than working with the technologies available he went out and built his own client side app “Limelight.”
Ok, I’ll avoid the obvious: “You got to have distribution to make this viable.”
I think what he really dislikes about the […]

However, with git it’s easy. I […]

The Motionbox EventHandler will offer the same capabilities they talk about to the Prototype developer.
The idea here is that you very loosely couple all your components and fire custom events between them to communicate. You do not register callbacks on individual components, [...]

I got this off of Vitamin News.
The thing about this video that makes it truly horrible is its relatively high production value. Microsoft spent a fair amount of time and money producing this crap. Worse it's for a bad product. I know M$ has the money for this, but to be publicly just throwing it [...]

Logic + Emotion has a nice little write-up about Southwest airlines and Zappos doing good work on Twitter.
He hints at how the ad industry keeps trying to monetize, etc. This goes back to what I've been saying for a while: be honest, be true, and be all about the "talking." The rest [...]
