I’m very excited about speaking at CSS Day this year. My talk is called In And Out Of Style: It’s an exciting time for CSS! It feels like new features are being added every day. And yet, through it all, CSS has managed to remain an accessible language for anyone making websites … | Continue reading
I went to TEDxBrighton on Friday. I didn’t actually realise it was happening until just a couple of days beforehand, but I once I knew, I figured I should take advantage of it being right here in my own town. All in all, it was a terrific day. The MCing by Adam Pearson was great— … | Continue reading
It’s a great time to be learning and investing in the primitives of the web platform over transitory framework abstractions. — Jim Nielsen | Continue reading

Attending @TEDxBrighton where I was treated to a charlatan peddling some NFT Ponzi scheme while spouting disgustingly dangerous cryptobollocks. I feel bad for the other (excellent) speakers to be associated with this shameless spiel. | Continue reading

Well, now I’ve got another five speakers to tell you about! Aleks Melnikova … | Continue reading
I almost admire the positivity of otherwise-intelligent people thinking some good must come of crypto/NFTs/web3 despite all evidence to the contrary. It’s like they’re thinking “With all this horseshit, there must be a pony in here!” | Continue reading
I see that Russell is planning to bring back Interesting this year. This makes me happy. Just seeing the return of in-person gatherings—run safely—is giving me life. I don’t think I’m alone in this. I think that lots of people are yearning for some in-person contact after two yea … | Continue reading

I feel like in the past few years there’s been a number of web design approaches that share a similar mindset. Intrinsic web design by Jen; Every Layout by Andy and Heydon; Utopia by Trys and James. To some extent, their strengths lie in technological advances in CSS: flexbox, gr … | Continue reading

This is going to make me sound like an old man in his rocking chair on the front porch, but let me tell you about the early days of Twitter… The first time I mentioned Twitter on here was back in November 2006: I’ve been playing around with Twitter, a neat little service from t … | Continue reading
Someone was asking recently about advice for public speaking. This was specifically for in-person events now that we’re returning to actual live conferences. Everyone’s speaking style is different so there’s no universal advice. That said, just about everyone recommends practicin … | Continue reading

In person events are like buses. You go two years without one and then three come along at once. My buffer is overflowing from experiencing three back-to-back events. Best of all, my participation was different each time. First of all, there was Leading Design New York, where I w … | Continue reading

I went to New York to host the Leading Design conference. It was weird and wonderful. Weird, because it felt strange and surreal to be back in a physical space with other people all sharing the same experience. Wonderful, for exactly the same reasons. This was a good way to eas … | Continue reading
