Web Design Manifesto 2012 – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report. I’ve got to hand it to Zeldman (again), I really enjoyed reading this and found it very refreshing. Our community is super critical. I wouldn’t call it cut-throat and I wouldn’t really set it apart from many other industries the world over. The trouble [...]

Repurposing vs. Optimized Design (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox). Jakob Nielsen takes some time to analyze the overall benefit of responsive design. I don’t want to spoil the article contents for you but the overarching view is that he feels that ‘mobile’ and ‘desktop’ design issues extend far beyond layout. I know we’re all head-over-heels for responsive [...]

Coding Horror: This Is All Your App Is: a Collection of Tiny Details. Details matter. A lot. Kevin and I often spend what many people would categorize as way too much time on certain details. We do that because sometimes some things just don’t feel right, and that’s not good enough. The details, in our [...]

It’s a fantastic service and I think it’s great OpenStreetMap is getting the exposure it deserves. Stamen is offering some alternative tiles [...]

LukeW | Multi-Device Layout Patterns. I’m always thrilled to see a post from Luke Wroblewski. This time he’s establishing some convention surrounding responsive design patterns. Responsive websites feel like the Internet maturing. If we think back to it, everything was sparked by the iPhone. I’m not trying to fanboy anything but if we’re realistic that [...]

Kevin Fox – Google+ – I was writing a blog post about three recent changes to…. There’s a lot to read in this post, but it outlines a number of questions I’ve had as of late. Google’s never been looked at as a company that really optimized the design experience. That is until as of [...]

Method & Craft. This is a big deal. Lots of blood, sweat, tears, and awesomeness went into the latest project from Phil Coffman, Noah Stokes, and Trent Walton. The material is just awesome, this is the stuff you and I want to read about. Also, not to be taken lightly: Rogie‘s got another screencast. Sorry [...]
