I've developed a number of different SASS mixins, which are fantastic in their own right, to make my development process easier, faster, and more browser-friendly. All because automation is good. Very good.
Any more-than-once visitor to this site is probably now aware that things have undergone a bit of a redesign. I hesitate to even call it that, because the underpinning design philosophies are roughly the same as they've been since the major redesign back in September 2012.
jQuery Waypoints has just become my favorite jQuery library to date. CoffeeScript documentation and clean syntax? What else do I need?
To solve the difficulty of transcribing audio, I built an incredibly simple webapp I'm calling Transcribt. A few keyboard shortcuts perform the same functions a foot pedal would.
Now that you’ve built a blog in Middleman, you’re probably wondering how to build out one of the best features with a ready-made CMS package like Wordpress: search.
One of my Github repositories has been forked. Now, this isn’t a major announcement, nor is it anything worthy of bragging. But it’s darn cool.
Let’s not call it a “redesign.” Let’s call it a “reboot.”
SparkBox has written great piece about the use of rems in front end typography. I'm also using rems in all of my current projects. There are just too many benefits to count them out. My favorite is the way that rem-based typography responds to size changes, and this becomes particularly relevant in responsive designs.
The U.S. needs to restructure the nature of risk-taking, to make it a softer landing for failure.
When redesigning Design by Joel, I ultimately decided on using Middleman, because it's awesome. But the blogging extension isn't quite so wonderfully “plug and play.”
When I stepped into the bathroom this morning to take a shower, I was presented with a lovely centipede writhing in the tub, trying to make its escape. Dealing with bugs, apparently, has become a steady habit of mine.
Ryan Tell is sporting an all-new look in honor of his new EP, Dreaming in Bardos.
It’s true — I’ve moved to a new host: Linode.
I’ve made public the grid that I use on all my web projects, which I’ve called Colonnade. It’s a simple-but-beautiful responsive grid built on SASS.
I listen to about twenty podcasts. Yes, that’s a lot. And now I'm working on one of the very few fully-functional, actively-developed web-based podcast managers.
I’ve started to realize, as I get older, that success in this world comes from a solitary force: do. There’s no other way to forge one’s own path other than putting in the effort. That isn’t easy — in fact, it’s enormously difficult — but that’s what makes it worthwhile.
