Things I wrote
-
Coming from the front end dev world, where I am taking the design and making the responsivey good things happen, I've experienced both good and bad in this process.
-
Many times in our lives we make a decision, and at the time we make it, we don't even really think about it; it is just another in a long string of decisions we may make in any given day. But years later, you look back, and you realize; that decision was a big deal.
-
I read Ethan's piece two days ago where he mentioned being in the long game when creating for the web. That phrase "long game" then proceeded to follow me around in my head.
-
I have been cooking a lot of stew this winter. I am finally getting comfortable enough in the kitchen to go without recipes for some things, and stew is one of them.
-
These past few weeks have been difficult ones, working on words and code to say goodbye to Editorially. All the while realizing that I was also saying goodbye to a team and a product that I have grown to love.
-
Just recently I was scouting around Powells and found a book that Ethan has recommended, so I picked it up. How Buildings Learn by Stewart Brand is a fascinating read.
-
Before I started at Editorially, I was a big believer in Object Oriented CSS. It was my preferred method for building out a site. I have to say that I still really like a lot of the components, but now I also see that there are valid reasons for coding things a bit differently as well.
-
I live my life surrounded by tech. It is all around me all the time. Usually I have at least one techy gadget around me, be it the iPad, iPhone, a laptop, or when watching movies the mac mini that we use to stream. But lately, I have felt a need to walk away from all that tech. I want to be alone with my thoughts.
-
Some blog posts over the past few days have been going around talking about marketable skills and what it takes to be a front end developer these days.
-
Recently I read a post by Frank Chimero and I felt the same way. I would like my one home on the internet to have all the things I am doing on it. As a start towards this, I have redone my site again.
-
Last week, in spite of the holiday, was an extremely difficult week around my house. But it was also a week that taught me so much about community...
-
I grew up with dogs, but the reality is they were my mom’s dogs. She was the pack leader, rightfully so as she took care of them and did everything for them. When they died I had already moved out, so I didn’t experience the day-to-day loss of their presence.
-
It is that time of year, at least in the US, where people are thankful. At least, I hope, in the midst of the crushing craziness that is the start of the holidays there are at least a few moments of peace and quiet.
