    Dalke, I see that I have insulted you and for that I am sorry. I doubt that there is much I can say in this medium to undo that damage other than to tell you that it was unintentio…

    Hi! Author here. Thanks for your comment :) I was preparing to answer your questions and then I read that you consider yourself a laborer. If you see yourself as a laboror, my book…

    I've been beta testing Remarq and the time it has saved me more than makes up for the cost.

    @robertnealan Well said. Having personally worked on responsive redesigns for ew.com, techcrunch.com, and timeinc.com, I know as well as anyone that designing a full scale responsi…

    > But what people want at these events is a catchy, flashy demo that wows attendees and that can be tweeted/Facebooked/etc. And then what? Opened on a mobile phone where the demo d…

    I'm not saying everyone must ALWAYS design mobile first. I'm saying it should be our default position, like doing layout with css instead of tables. If you have some reason to igno…

    It doesn't have to be hard. Some visual designs can be hard to do cross device but that's conscious design choice. The implementation is not that hard if you start small and work y…
