Meanwhile, on the Internet...

Love these images of my neighborhood in Pittsburgh that demonstrate how much (and in some cases how little) it’s changed over the years. via Jason Head

Really handy tips from Luke about multi-device trends and designing for a whole slew of screens.

This post by Jeremy really resonated with me. Definitely worth your time to read it in its entirety.

We print out page designs, hand them some scissors, and get them to cut up the pages into their smallest components. Mix them all up so you can’t even tell which components came from which pages. I really like this […]

As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about modular design and development, it’s cool to see the Polymer project evolve with this nice catalog of components. There’s even a little chemistry metaphor going on, which of course makes […]

Ben Brignell’s sketch notes from my atomic design talk at #uxlondon.  

Here’s Jaime Caballero with some fantastic advice on how to improve your experience’s performance.

I’m thrilled to be speaking at the Web Conference at Penn State alongside so many other great speakers (including apparently Tim Gunn of Project Runway fame. Life achievement unlocked?). Registration closes in just a few days, so I’d look into […]

A while back I wrote about the concept of project hubs for 24 Ways. I’m thrilled to see people finding the concept of a simple timeline for project milestones useful, and am even more thrilled to see tools emerge to […]

Rebecca’s Gift provides a space away from the everyday rhythm of life for families who have experienced the death of a child; to assist them in moving forward in their healing process through the opportunity to reconnect, rebuild, and relax […]

I’ll be giving a virtual seminar for UIE all about style guides: what they are, what kinds of style guides exist, how to make them, and how to make them work for your organization. Feel free to tune in!

As someone who almost exclusively lives in the many gorgous, comfortable t-shirts I’ve acquired from Cotton Bureau, it’s great to see them featured in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Great people doing great work in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

If you’re into Drupal and interested in Pattern Lab, this session at DrupalCon in Los Angeles looks like it fits the bill!

With the exception of being called a “creative”, I’m very flattered to have my Death to Bullshit talk be featured on the Made In PGH website.

The fine folks at Sparkbox created a hub for all their little tools and documents they use in their process. Some of it’s code, some of it’s documentation, but it’s all helpful. These resources (as well as Filament Group’s code hub) […]

This is a fascinating discussion between Dan Mall, Jeffrey Zeldman, and Andy Clarke about the role of aesthetics in modern web design and development. This conversation is important as there’s still a bias that responsive design is responsible for bad […]

Dave Olsen (@dmolsen), the beloved developer of the Pattern Lab project, gave a great presentation about why Pattern Lab matters and what it can do.

Ben Maraney gave a great talk about how HTTP2 will speed up how the web works and will impact performance in a big way. Normally I struggle to make it through talks about in-the-weeds stuff like this, but I feel the […]

I had a fantastic time at Webdagene in Oslo, and this recap video does a great job of capturing the special nature of the event. They even included my little piece of advice, which is nice.

I just bought WP Migrate DB Pro to help keep my local databases and live sites in sync. Looking forward to digging into this. Right now my local sites and my live sites are way out of sync, and it […]
