Lovely redesign by Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain. I also like the way he markets himself as a designer for developers. Visit site »
PPK details the myth that is the idea that “WebKit on mobile is taking over.” His point, which is totally valid, is that while WebKit is indeed becoming the dominant rendering engine on mobile platforms, each of those platforms has distinctly different versions of WebKit, so the idea that if you build for WebKit, all of these devices will render your site the exact same way is a misconception. His point is well taken, if a bit dramatic. It’s true that there are subtle differences between each version, and it’s also true that most people don’t realize this. But, in the real-world, they’re “close enough” that targeting WebKit will generally get you a very similar experience on all these platforms. Visit site »

Honored to have been interviewed by Designer’s Couch. Note that a few of the screenshots in the page are not actually my work at all. The version of the New York Review of Books is not the redesign I did for them, but rather the old version, and the Explore Steamboat design shown is a newer incarnation than the one I did.

Gavin asked me to participate, and I was happy to do so. I’ve never heard any other web designer (besides myself) say they don’t listen to music while working, and I’ve certainly never heard anyone else cite their musical background as a reason why they’re unable to listen passively, but that’s exactly what Zeldman said. Interesting that he and I share an answer here, when I think our personalities are drastically different (that’s not an insult at all — I love the guy, we’re just very different, is all!).

Easily the best overview I’ve seen of XHTML, XHTML2, HTML5, and the related concerns for your typical standards-oriented front-end web developer. Bottom line: the death of XHTML2 and the move to HTML5 does not mean you lose all the things you love about XHTML 1 and 1.1. Relax, folks. It’ll be okay. :) Visit site »
