Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert join Adam and Jerod for a ShopTalk & Friends conversation on the viability of the web, making content, ads to support that content, CodePen’s future plans, books, side quests, and social networks devaluing links. ShopTalk & Friends
Safari isn’t any better with battery life. I feel like that needs to be shared more as it’s very strong folk tech wisdom that Chrome eats battery and Safari does not, which is apparently not true at all, and might be the opposite. But I don’t care too much about that. I have a first-gen […]
They broke out of a loosely wired cage door in the basement of the monkey house, but from there it seemed they didn’t have a plan — most hung out in a nearby canopy of trees as mesmerized onlookers watched Madison Magazine Who was in charge of that loosely wired cage door? My grandpa! Lolz. I remember […]
I don’t seem like I’d be much of a skiier, do I? (I do not.) But here I am, doing skiing. It’s very (very) popular in Bend, Oregon because of the proximity to Mt. Bachelor (and to a lesser degree Hoodoo) and the outdoor lifestyle vibes here. People you know will be downhill skiing in […]
The short ‘n’ sweet version of my talk from All Things Open.
Manuel Moreale: Sometimes I spot posts like Chris’ Media Diet in my RSS feed and I’m always amazed by the fact the people manage to keep up with movies and TV series and the rest of the media landscape. I can totally see how someone posting a post like mine makes it feel like I just bathe […]
The Jaguar rebrand is a head turner. I don’t care enough to weigh in, I just literally cannot see letter-spaced lowercase characters without thinking of Frederic Goudy. Any man who would letterspace lowercase would screw sheep.
🎮 Donut Country — You move a hole around and get things to fall down it. Very satisfying mechanic. The kid and I loved it. Except the story part, which was excruciatingly long and boring. More things falling into holes and puzzles and less talky talky. 📕 The Nineties — A smart look back at this decade. I don’t think there is much to be learned...
👋 Fellow Webnerds! This is a written version of my talk “Designing DX”. I just want to lollygag about with y’all about this squishy concept of DX. We’ll draw ideas and parallels from the real world (the one with grass, boozy milkshakes, and that glowing orb in the sky that makes you squint). There are […]
I have a killer business idea. I’m just going to take one penny from every bank account in the world. I’m not going to ask; you can’t say no. It really won’t affect you. You probably won’t even notice, and even if you do, again, it will not affect you. What’s a penny? Nothing. It […]
I’m certainly not above government criticism nor do I think lying for political gain is a new trick. I am bummed that a website needs to exist called Hurricane Rumor Response from FEMA in order to combat a barrage of lies accusing them of everything stealing donations to literally preventing aid. Hey, I’m not on […]
📺 Presumed Innocent — A pretty fun whodunit ride with twists despite most of the people involved being pretty unlikable. I couldn’t shake the feeling that a lot of these people should be spending way more time and energy on figuring out who did it than worrying about establishing doubt. 🕹️ A Short Hike — 10/10 absolutely lovable fun little...
Jeff Bridgforth: A front-end developer is the one that makes the design come alive. He or she is the person responsible for bringing the creative vision of the designer into being through code and can even push the design further by adding the interactivity or animation layer that the designer may not have even thought […]
