Sad State of @font-face
Anyone who designs for the web learns quickly that font choice is sorely lacking. If you want to use a non-standard font you have only one option. You must replace that text with an image of that text in your font of choice. This has led to some truly genius …
Coda 1.5
Panic Software has just released version 1.5 of Coda. If you develop websites on a Mac you really should check out Coda. It’s come a long way since the 1.0 days and is an invaluable tool when I am doing sites. This very site …

Revisiting My Fancy Frames
Update: I tried out the new Alpha release of Firefox 3.1 and…it works! They will finally support border-image and the nth-of-type selector. Obviously if your requirements dictate identical rendering between IE and Firefox — my condolences — this technique won’t help you out there, …

Safari CSS Wizardry
The Safari team is really working hard at making Safari attractive to web designers. As a web designer I like things that make my job easy. A lot of things that I want to do as a designer end up being scrapped due to difficulty in implementation. Things like custom …
About the New Site
Alright. Let’s start a little discussion about the new changes around the site. While the new design is an obvious change, there are a multitude of “behind-the-scenes” changes that are not so obvious. I want to give a brief run-down of the changes and then I want to follow-up on …
Did You Miss Me?

Coda
I am in love with a program. I haven’t gotten to use it much yet, but I am totally smitten. I am of course referring to Coda, the new web development tool from Panic. As a hand-coder I have always relied on my …
More Waiting
Okay this is getting kind of silly. I have been working on my redesign all semester and things are getting kind of close to being ready. I have been making some changes here. Adding plug-ins, triming the category tree, and getting things ready. On my local set-up I have …
Sneak Peek
Thought I would give you all (yes, all three of you) a little preview of the impending design change. Like I said before, this redesign is more than just a new layout and pretty colors (but I hope you like those too). There will also be several new features and …
Deep Water
So a while back (like when I got this site up and running) I made a few promises that have, so far, gone unkept. I would like to say that this is is not my fault. That I have been very busy between family, work (both the job and the …
