Dear developers »
This is why I use Sass and Compass.
February 9th 2012
Dear W3C/CSS WG »
I’ll be the first to admit: I don’t really get how it all works. The standards process, the politics… I think I get the general idea, but that’s not really important. I know what vendor prefixes are for, and I’m tired of using them 4 times over with the same value. When 4 competitive companies/organizations use the same syntax for something, I’d call it a standard.
I realize you may have different criteria, but perhaps this could be considered, if only for “point” releases of the spec.
Sorry if I don’t really get it, still love you crazy cats.
Sencha Touch 2 Beta—Raising The Bar »
Sencha Touch 2 is another huge leap forward for rich mobile web apps. In addition to some of the huge performance improvements (40fps on Android?!), the new beta includes:
- A huge documentation upgrade, including 20 new guides.
- New Facebook integration demo
- A new class system, which allows for bootstrapping (dynamically loading) applications.
- An MVC application architecture, with history support
- Awesome new navigation view (with iOS-like card animations by default)
- Device profiling for dealing with different resolutions and platforms
I can honestly say that Sencha Touch stands on its own when it comes to creating rich mobile apps using web technology. Download it today and start coding!
Samsung’s Transparent Smart Window
I’m not normally very interested in the products Samsung releases, but it’s easy to see why this is a 2012 CES innovation award winner.
The gdgt 2011 Holiday Guide »
If you’re considering any sort of gadget for a loved one this holiday season, here’s a good place to start.
“I was there because I just wanted to read something. Words. Black text on a white background, more-or-less. And what I saw — at a professional publication, a site with the purpose of giving people something good to read — was just about the farthest thing from readable.”
The Pummeling Pages, Brent Simmons
Hello Little Printer.
Don’t know if I’d get enough use out of this, but it’s hard to not want one.

Photoshop Image Deblurring
Had the pleasure of being able to watch this live at Adobe MAX 2011, easily the most impressive “Sneak” they had. Only a matter of time until the “art” of photography is made comparable to that of calligraphy.
