  • Web Designer’s Daily Digest

    Nov 21 6 , , , , , ,

    So, I’m gonna keep up with showing all y’all what I find. I can’t afford to do it daily, but after I find enough stuff on the interweb, I’ll keep sharing it.
    I know this much. Lists like this really help me. I’m typically an out-of-the-loop sort of fella, so by the time I find [...]

  • Eye-catching Illustrations

    Sep 19 10 , ,

    Cappuccino Machine
    I’m a sucker for a sweet illustration, especially a vector illustration if you can’t tell. Every once in awhile I run across a sweet one and it really inspires me to get more detail oriented. I’m a details guy – that’s how I roll when it comes to design at least. Here’s a few of them that I’ve seen on the web lately…

  • Mac vs PC? Be Honest

    May 12 70 ,


    There’s a ton of biased bullcrap out there when it comes to Apple vs. PC arguments. Let’s be honest and see what really matters.

  • CSS PNG Image Fix for IE

    Nov 05 181

    We’ve all seen them, the hoards of PNG fixes for IE6. That is because IE6 is a bag of smashed buttholes. I’m serious. It is. That is why we (web designers of the new world) have to continually come up with creative ways to solve the PNG issue. In case you are [...]

  • Standards-compliant New Window Links

    Jan 31 16

    I ran across this article at SitePoint, which is very good. Basically, the concept is that while the target attribute is compliant in an XHTML Transitional world, it is exactly that. Transitional. Transitional doctypes allow us to go from deprecated doctypes to something more standard, such as XHTML Strict.
    So, we either code [...]

  • CSS Star Rating Redux

    Jan 20 69

    Quite awhile back, I wrote and article entitled Creating a Star Rater using CSS. In fact, if the CSS for this article is a little confusing, you may want to visit my previous articles to get yourself acquainted. I wrote it to my best ability and I shared what I could with the growing CSS-loving community. It was pretty flippin’ cool if you ask me, but it needed more. So, out of that need was born CSS Star Rating Part Deux, a vast improvement to the first, but by no means perfection. Out of the many comments I received about the most recent version, there were still some lacking areas.

    By now, people’s grasp as a whole has grown quite a bit I feel and I think that this time does not warrant a full-fledged tutorial (also, my lack of time doesn’t help either). However, there are some significant issues with my most current Star Rating tutorial and I have always wanted to take another go at it.

  • Web Developers

    Dec 10 12

    Legos are amazingWhile talking to a certain fellow at an untold location, I heard a statement that semi-floored me. He mentioned that web programmers don’t really create systems. They do not program and design systems. They merely assemble things. My thought was that he was comparing web developers to a lego model building, direction following individual. This seems to really undercut what some, might I say phenomenal web developers do.

    While web developing can at time be mere assembly of modules, often it is developing processes and dealing with some complex logic. I am not attempting to say that we are genius C++ video game programmers, however, I think we deserve some credit. We are not lego-assembling, direction following idiots.

    What are your thoughts?

  • CSS Trickery Part 5: Inheritance

    Oct 02 17

    Consistent fonts for form items
    This article is written partly inspired by Nathan Smith’s article from Sonspring. The idea with his article is that most browsers by default display form items with a different style than that of the document. This is because by default, form items do not inherit the CSS rules for font-weight, [...]

  • CSS: Pimp my apple.com

    Sep 16 30

    So, usually I would take months to come up with some long-winded and very informative tutorial on CSS for my fellow blog readers. However, today I am not feeling that kind…yet kind enough to post this.
    I respect Apple for quite a few things. Design is one of them. I think [...]
