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.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: “HTML5 and CSS3 do not have enough browser support to start using them today.” Or, how about this one: “We still have to support IE6, so using advanced CSS techniques would be a wasted effort.”

Late last week, the nominees for the 2010 .net Awards were announced and I was amazed to find myself nominated for not one, but two awards.

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.

I jumped over from Raphael back to Processing again today and built a visualizer for Twitter data.

Last week I worked up an audio visualizer in Flash for a friend that yielded some nice results; doing the same thing with canvas and JavaScript requires a more roundabout method that is less accurate but more gratifying from a coding perspective.

A few projects back, I decided to rethink our JavaScript organization strategy and came up with a new technique that, I think, helps us better manage behaviors from page to page.

I have been experimenting with the new HTML5 canvas element and trying to get up to speed on the syntax.
