I’m back in the saddle this week after returning from Build , a conference in Northern Ireland, expertly assembled by Andy McMillan . It was a great event, and a nice way to cap off a busy year of speaking. Build was my last event till 2012. I decided I need some time off to recharge, focus on some other things, not be away from the family, and take a good long while before thinking about diving into Keynote again to construct a fresh talk. … Read the rest here

The Survey, 2010
It’s that time again: the 2010 edition of The Survey For People Who Make Websites is open and taking your input. If you’re someone who creates web sites, whether all the time or some of the time or even just occasionally, please take just a little bit of your day (as I write this, the average time-to-completion is just over 10 minutes) to let us know about you. Furthermore, please spread the word to any groups to which you belong—local SIGs, mailing lists, newsgroups, forums, message boards, and so on. I truly believe it’s important to the profession as a whole to have as many web folks as possible participate. I was asked a little while back why we do the survey, and my answer surprised me not just for its content but also for how much passion I felt… Read the rest here

Speaking and moving
I was in Amsterdam at the end of last week for the Fronteers conference . It was a good conference but the fact that Jake Archibald was on the bill meant that my presentation paled in comparison
Why we don’t have a parent selector
On a seemingly regular basis, I see this discussion come up as to whether CSS should have a particular feature like the parent selector and while I haven’t worked on a browser engine, I have my theories. In short: performance . How CSS gets evaluated With work, I’ve had to do quite a bit of examination of performance. We run a number of tools over an application to determine where the bottlenecks are. … 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

CSS Filters
Last night I presented a 5 minute microslot on CSS Filters – excluding older versions of IE from seeing your CSS , and feeding extra styles to specific versions of IE and mobile browsers. The slides (with presenter notes) are now available to download from the new Speaking section. Comment on this … Read the rest here

Events Sold Out and Coming Up
Just before noon (Eastern U.S. time) today, An Event Apart Minneapolis sold its last available seat. That’s three events so far in 2010 and three sell-outs. If you were hoping to join us in Minneapolis but hadn’t registered yet, we’re sorry we won’t see you there! You can contact our Event Manager to get put on the waiting list, or you can join us for one of the remaining two shows of the year: Washington DC and San Diego . There are strong reasons to prefer either one. In Washington DC , we’ll have our second-ever A Day Apart , a full day of in-depth learning with Jeremy Keith and Ethan Marcotte taking on the topics of HTML5 and CSS3, respectively… Read the rest here

Text, Speech, Video
All of a sudden, people have been asking me to yak about myself and stuff that I know (or at least think I know). These things tend to come in waves, and right now I’m surfing like a search engine’s crawlerbot. I don’t think that metaphor made any sense at all. Anyway, here’s what I’ve had to say so far: The Geek Talk: Eric Meyer
