As we near the end of our 10th year (we can hardly believe it’s been a decade already!), we wanted to take a few moments to thank you—our clients, our partners, and our friends—for continuing to challenge, inspire, and employ us.

As Aaron mention last week, we recently developed a Chrome App for wikiHow.com; in reality though we built a modern web app that leveraged many features of HTML5 and CSS3.

Yesterday saw the launch of the Chrome App Store and, along with it, an app we created called the wikiHow Survival Kit.

Attending Web Directions USA in Atlanta last week gave me a healthy dose of the open web, from IA to data organization to HTML5 & CSS3, but what struck me the most were presentations about interface design strategies.

While working on the client-side caching mechanism in eCSStender, I realized the dangers of localStorage.clear() and worked to come up with a solution.

As any competent JavaScript knows, it’s not cool to litter the global namespace with variables, functions, and the like. Occasionally, however, even closures won't help you trap a given variable.
