- Holy shit the Dodger game was awesome, up until the point that Van Slyke hit his first major league home run right at me in left field and it went right off the palm of my hand!!! Can you say…childhood dream crushed?!
- When did Americans turn into such pussies in sports. you can hit guys too hard in football for money? Isn't that the point if football. And now anytime done guy in baseball gets hit he's thrown out of the game for fear of a ben-clearing brawl. That's half the fun of baseball. Come on America, fish your nuts out of the Pacific!
- Didn't realize it until someone just told me, but I hit a grand slam today in softball. Haha!
- Holy crap ESPN, you're killing me this morning. Most amazing story of Paco Rodriguez and his gift of 4 lives!!!
- Wow the chick in front of me at the gym must stink an awful lot to have to cover it up with that much perfume!
- Dropped off Ralph at my dads, and Kate Koumantzelis Newton is at work, while all my co-workers are at the Misfit drinking and having fun. I'm a bit bummed.
- Just finished the Hunger Games and just in time for the movie. Have to admit, it was pretty good!
- In honor of my fathers' upcoming birthday, I've dedicated my listening experience to one of his favorite songs, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"!!! Rock on Ron Newton
- It's amazing how quick a good day can turn into a bad one.

Some people do a lot of research before they travel. They read guidebooks. They like to know what they are going to do before they get there.
Awesome way to see code play out over time.
The billion dollar tech startup valuations and acquisitions are starting to attract a lot of opportunist to the industry. A lot of these people are not technical and they know they need a CTO to get to get to MVP.
Here’s an issue I’ve ran into a couple of times related to subpixel rounding on touch screens: while zooming in, I was seeing background colors bleeding through on the edges of an element that also had a background image applied. Open this fiddle on your smartphone or tablet and zoom in, you may see something like this:
The world is too rich, complex and interesting for a single schema to describe fully on its own. With schema.org we aim to find a balance, by providing a core schema that covers lots of situations, alongside extension mechanisms for extra detail. There are many situations where the use of existing controlled vocabularies, standards and datasets would improve schema.org markup. This is the role of the schema.org “external enumerations” mechanism.
Disability and the concept of accessibility can be confusing. Awkward. Uncomfortable. The first step to true understanding is usually awareness. Awareness helps you get over those feelings: awareness that issues exist, awareness that there are solutions to those issues, and awareness that what we do as web professionals can have a profound impact on someone else’s life.
Making the design to be responsive is very easy as shown in my Responsive Design in 3 Steps tutorial, but maintaining the elements to look aesthetically balanced on all breakpoint layouts is an art. Today I’m going to share 5 of my commonly used CSS tricks along with sample cases for coding responsive designs. They are simple CSS properties such as min-width, max-width, overflow, and relative value — but these properties play an important part in responsive design.
A search on Amazon.com for books on Productivity returns 45,960 titles. If you’re having trouble being productive at work you may find it difficult to make the time to read a book on productivity cover to cover.
You use paper towels to dry your hands every day, but chances are, you’re doing it wrong. In this enlightening and funny short talk at TEDxConcordiaUPortland, Joe Smith reveals the trick to perfect paper towel technique.
The CSS3 Selectors module introduces three new attribute selectors, which are grouped together under the heading “Substring Matching Attribute Selectors”.
There are a bunch of techniques going around for dealing with responsive images lately. That is, solutions to help us serve the right image for the occasion (e.g. size of screen and bandwidth available). They all do things a bit differently. To keep track, Christopher Schmitt and I have created this spreadsheet of techniques.
If you’ve ever tried to get precise em-based values of letter-spacing to work in a WebKit browser, you’ve probably wondered why that isn’t really possible, while Firefox or Internet Explorer 10 for example do allow fine-grained control. Play around with this demo in various browsers and you’ll see what I mean.
