My iPad Experience with a Bluetooth keyboard
On an impulse, I decided to buy the Bluetoothed Apple Wireless keyboard for use with the iPad. I felt there were times where I would want to create content without wanting to pull out my laptop and still have the flexibility of putting the keyboard away to enjoy the usual benefits of the iPad. I’m sitting in the middle seat of a six-hour flight home and thought, "this would be a good time to give this a try"— especially with blog post ideas popping to mind. As it turns out, the experience is quite nice. … Read the rest here
Just Try and Shut Me Up
I’ve been pretty quiet as of late — except the deluge I usually subject my Twitter followers to. Fear not, as I have plenty to say and plenty of places to say it. November is turning out to be a busy month of speaking engagements as I cram four different events into the span of two weeks (with a possible fifth for good measure). One, two, three, four Starting things off is a trip to Malmo, Sweden for the Oredev conference being held on November 10 through 12. This three-day event is jam-packed with speakers and therefore jam-packed with information! I’ll have two sessions: one highlighting CSS3 and the other will be revisiting my talk on font-face embedding on the web, which has seen a continued evolution over the last year. … Read the rest here

IE9 and the Lost World
Jason Santa Maria Go to the source
Today marks the beta launch of Internet Explorer 9. To celebrate the release, Nishant Kothary from the MIX Online team at Microsoft reached out to me to help showcase its support of WOFF . I knew immediately this was a great opportunity to collaborate with people I admire, so I dropped a line to Frank Chimero and Naz Hamid to lend their design talents, and Trent Walton (who also brought in the skilled Dave Rupert ) to help pitch in on coding duties. As things progressed, Trent and Dave really came in swinging and the group ended up collaborating and nurturing ideas together. … Read the rest here

Eight Principles of Information Architecture (PDF)
Eight Principles of Information Architecture (PDF) : Not that Dan Brown , but this Dan Brown : Information architecture, a field in relative infancy and constantly rediscovering itself, does not yet have a well-established theory that drives the design of structures for websites. You can pick up two books on graphic design and see the same topics covered in each. Why is there no such agreement for books on information architecture? Indeed, information architecture has yet to normalize, and the constant new demands on our work make progress toward that goal challenging. While the industry has yet to settle on a standard theory, there are a handful of principles I keep coming back to
Diagonal CSS Sprites
Diagonal CSS Sprites : Aaron Barker describes a technique for preventing neighbor images from appearing by placing the images in a sprite diagonally, rather than horizontally or vertically. The tradeoff is file size, but Aaron argues the diagonal arrangement is a more reliable approach should the original container change size. … Read the rest here

Dr Who: The Big Bang
The Pandorica Opens. Bloody hell. A great penultimate episode to a season that has really impressed me with The Eleventh Hour, Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, Amys Choice, Vincent and the Doctor and The Lodger. So many great moments to praise in this story, but one that sticks in my mind is that the Doctors clever, stirring, ‘Let somebody else try first’ speech starts with “
