Today, Google released an interactive online book that explains things like HTML, browser extensions, and much more. While this is probably very helpful for less tech savvy web surfers, I am more excited about the underlying technology, HTML5 & CSS3. The site is a great example of what is possible with the latest updates to HTML and CSS.

After some months of working in my spare time, the switch on the Postcards from Berlin beta website has finally been switched to the on position. The idea for the site is the brain child of Gabriel Shalom & Patrizia Kommerell, who were nice enough to ask me to collaborate and help out with a bit of design & front-end development.

I have just finished reading Handcrafted CSS by Dan Cederholm and all I can really say is WOW! As a fan of Mr. Cederholm’s work, I have read and enjoyed each of his books and I had high expectations for his latest release.

Of course, my expectations were proceeded and I wasn’t let down!

I recently submitted my site to be critiqued by the fine folks over at Please Critique Me. After receiving some great feedback from Chris Wallace, I decided to make a couple updates around here.

While most of the updates this time are mainly visual, I have a few ideas in the works to help clean up my site even more. Stay tuned for a few more tweaks and updates that I will be adding as time permits.

I was recently tasked with creating a prototype for a web application and it has turned out to be a much better experience than I expected. The project started off a bit different than usual due to the lack of creating a concept in Photoshop or Fireworks. I almost always begin designing with graphics that can then be approved or modified based on feedback from clients or coworkers.
