Missed An Event Apart – Philadelphia? Well, here’s a 2 minute highlight reel for you. Both times they show the crowd, I am JUST outside of the frame. (The guy shooting the video was right next to my rwo.). Probably reaaally dull and boring to non-Web-geeks. What’s funny is, the part where Eric Meyer is […]
Mr. Zeldman has a beautiful editorial over at A List Apart regarding all the hype around “Web 2.0”. A particularly inspiring quote: …ours is a medium in which, more often than not, big teams have slowly and expensively labored to produce overly complex web applications whose usability was near nil on behalf of clients with […]
I love the graphic design of XXXchurch.com. I also love their mission and ministry. They provide services (especially x3watch) that are very helpful to Christian men and women. While they are a bit late-nineties in their code and other techniques, this site has a great, progressive feel to it. Maybe someday they’ll let me re-code […]
My Web host: Dreamhost just quadrupled my server space. Actually they just quadrupled ALL of their clients’ server space. I now have 20 GIGS of server space on my hosting account (I have the smallest plan). They also OCTUPLED my bandwidth!!!! I have 1 Terabyte a month bandwidth. I’m floored. Thank you Dreamhost. Also, the […]

This is a little pet project of mine in order to foster communication and share ideas with others who are doing the same thing I am doing with music in Ames, IA. The coolest part about this is the custom […]

This is what I came to the conference for, to watch Jason Santa Maria and Eric Meyer walk through their design and development process. There weren’t a whole lot of notes to take. It’s something you have to see in person, […]
9:00 – Zeldman – Intro, overview, formalities. We are in the middle of a revolution in information transfer; the first since the advent of movable type (Gutenburg’s, not Six Apart’s); the first revolution in the way information is transmitted in 500 years. We are here today to rethink what we do and understand its importance. […]
Today I am in Philadelphia at An Event Apart with Zeldman and Eric Meyer (and Jason Santa Maria). Should definitely be a good time. I’ll try and live blog the highlights. an event apart, web design, css, conferences
After the atrocity that was the Disney Store UK redesign, a fresh wave of articles on professionalism have popped up. Each are very important reads for those of us in the Web development community. Accessibilty, The Gloves Come Off (Interview with Andy Clarke) There are now so many web sites, blogs or publications devoted to […]
I was recently pointed to the Godbit project by my Bloglines notifier (;-)). I’m glad I went. Created by Nathan Smith of SonSpring (a part of the 9rules network)**. Godbit has a mission that I can get on board with heart and soul: The purpose of this site is to help the Church catch up […]
Apple.com is one of my favorite Web designs. I’m not saying this to be cheesy, or because I am an Apple zealot (even though I am), I just think they have an incredibly clean, simple, beautiful, site that contains a TON of information. The Apple Online Store is especially impressive. Highlighting many of their products […]
