Designs, LLC 2013-04-16 Aaron Gustafson Last week was a bit of a whirlwind: we traveled to Orlando, made some chili, launched a responsive refresh, and delivered new a new talk & workshop. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/04/16/orlando-in-a-whirlwind/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/04/16/orlando-in-a-whirlwind/ 2013-04-16T10:51:05-05:00 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:51:05 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson As you’ve probably heard, Opera has announced that they are abandoning their Presto rendering engine in favor of Webkit. I’m unsure what this means for the Web, but I have some conerns. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/03/04/presto-change-o/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/03/04/presto-change-o/ 2013-03-04T11:11:06-05:00 Mon, 4 Mar 2013 11:11:06 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson A few smart folks have already put together their thoughts on responsive tables and, while I think the proposed methods are pretty good, I think there might be room for improvement. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/02/02/responsive-tables/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/02/02/responsive-tables/ 2013-02-02T13:32:27-05:00 Sat, 2 Feb 2013 13:32:27 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Today, I have the honor of introducing you to the newest Easy team member: Jeff Bridgforth. Jeff comes to us from Bonnier, where he built websites for Popular Science, Popular Photography, Saveur, and Parenting. Being a former publishing guy myself, I’m delighted to be bringing someone on who has a solid grounding in content-rich websites. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/01/15/welcome-jeff-bridgforth/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2013/01/15/welcome-jeff-bridgforth/ 2013-01-15T08:00:56-05:00 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:00:56 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson These last two days have been a bit of a whirlwind, but I have had a great time meeting and talking to the attendees (and other speakers) here at the HOW Interactive conference in San Francisco. Read on for the slides from my talk. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/10/30/slides-from-my-talk-at-how-interactive/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/10/30/slides-from-my-talk-at-how-interactive/ 2012-10-30T16:57:27-05:00 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:57:27 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson In case you hadn’t heard, Tim Kadlec fantastic book Implementing Responsive Design came out today from New Riders. It’s a fantastic and necessary read for any practicing web professional out there and I was honored Tim asked me to write the foreword. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/08/06/implementing-responsive-design/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/08/06/implementing-responsive-design/ 2012-08-06T11:15:45-05:00 Mon, 6 Aug 2012 11:15:45 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson A few weeks back, I flew to Sweden to deliver a talk on progressive enhancement for mobile devices at Funkas Tillgänglighetsdagar. I thought I’d share my slide deck from the talk in case you’re interested. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/05/02/funkas-tillgaenglighetsdagar-2012/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/05/02/funkas-tillgaenglighetsdagar-2012/ 2012-05-02T17:17:43-05:00 Wed, 2 May 2012 17:17:43 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Most sites have exhaustive Privacy Policies detailing what information they collect and what they may do with it, which is why I find it bizarre that many of these same sites have chosen to hand over their users’ browsing habits to third parties such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google without considering the implications. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/04/24/dont-sell-out-your-users/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/04/24/dont-sell-out-your-users/ 2012-04-24T08:17:17-05:00 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 08:17:17 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson A few years back, I wrote a little article celebrating the fact that you could actually apply image-replacement techniques to images themselves. Little did I know, six years later, it would become a useful technique for tackling high resolution displays. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/04/16/iir-redux/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/04/16/iir-redux/ 2012-04-16T08:02:00-05:00 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:02:00 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson What might progressive enhancement suggest in the world of culture and politics? It’s a subject I have been mulling over in my head for years and I thank Ben Hoh for finally coaxing it out of me. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/03/14/egalitarianism-and-progressive-enhancement/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/03/14/egalitarianism-and-progressive-enhancement/ 2012-03-14T08:09:32-05:00 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:09:32 -05:00
