Those of you browsing on something other than a desktop browser should now be enjoying a much better reading experience. Here’s what’s changed and how we did it. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/10/12/from-mobile-friendly-to-mobile-first/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/10/12/from-mobile-friendly-to-mobile-first/ 2011-10-12T06:33:12-05:00 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 06:33:12 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson From rethinking grid layouts to an HIV test that fits in your wallet and costs less than $1, we discovered a lot of great links last week. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/08/15/now-read-this-6/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/08/15/now-read-this-6/ 2011-08-15T10:45:18-05:00 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:45:18 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Last week the U.S. teetered on the brink of economic collapse, but there were lots of goodies to think about and share too. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/08/09/now-read-this-v/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/08/09/now-read-this-v/ 2011-08-09T11:20:28-05:00 Tue, 9 Aug 2011 11:20:28 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson From losing 7 years of your digital life to squeezing the entire world into Texas, we found some amazing links last week.
