PhoneGap Starter Project - Productivity last week

A few weeks back Ryan Stewart posted on his idea for PhoneGap Starter projects. They were designed to take some of the grief out of getting started with various aspects of PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build projects.  I've contributed a project based on one of pet peeves with PhoneGap Build , the lack …

Using CSS Regions as an Enhancement last month

If you were not aware of them CSS Regions are proposal to CSS3 that would allow for some magazine like layouts in HTML pages. Adobe has been leading the charge on getting them into Webkit.  They are currently available in Chrome. (Also I think IE10) Now the way they work: You create a bit of …

HTML Page Slide Without a Framework last month

I'm working on a little demo mobile application for an upcoming project, and I wanted to add sliding transition between pages. Pretty simple, right? You just use jQuery, jQuery Mobile, zepto, or one of a bunch of other frameworks, and they handle this for you. I didn't want to.  Part of my goal …

We Suck at Apologies last month

Several incidents in the past few weeks, both public and private have led me to the conclusion that we all suck at apologies when we have offended people. I'd like to try and start a conversation to see if we can fix that.  I feel like I am qualified to give advice here, as I spent my 20's as an …

CSS Variables Draft 2 months ago

Thanks to Molly Holzschlag's tweet yesterday, I learned there was an Editor's Draft of CSS Variables . Let me first say, that I think it's awesome that the W3C is taking this on. I think that variables in CSS will ultimately be a good thing.  It will make it easy to reuse colors, and other CSS …

Search, Hold the Server 2 months ago
