These are just beautiful!
I was so thrilled to give a talk at WordCamp San Francisco this past weekend! My talk was on "Designing for the Modern Web" - Which in essence was a talk about designing for HiDPI. Check out my Slides & Description:
Devices that consume the web are being created at a never-before heard of rate. They’re getting smaller, lighter, faster, sharper, and sexier. Life is awesome right? But what about us web designers?
Let’s talk about how to get the best possible ratio of speed vs awesome, and what techniques to use for fast and stunning visual experiences.
I'll post the video whenever they have it up. All in all it was a fantastic weekend. I learned a ton from the other fabulous speakers, and the other attendees. Can't wait for next year.
My most recent vacation, or should I say "artcation", has brought me to London to visit the Tate Modern. Check out my posts from the Tate Modern - including works by Damien Hurst, Giuseppe Penone, Oskar Fischinger, & Corey Archangel - on Artcation.com. "forget the beach, lets see some art"

My friends at Automattic just announced the re-vamping of their CodePoet Program. They have a fancy new website with great resources for developers, designers, and builders. WPCandy has a great article about the launch. Congrats to Pete Davies, Michael Pick, Evan Solomon, Rebecca Collins, Krista Stevens, and Dave Martin for an outstanding job on the site! I really can not wait to see where this goes. They're really tapping into the community and sharing thoughts and resources from the best in the business. Its incredible.
I'm in the eBook Y'all!
Along with the great resource that is the site, they are also doing an eBook series. They interviewed me for their book on WordPress and Responsive Design - you can read my thoughts on the subject in the eBook! Get it! It's Free!!! And it looks beautiful! Michael Pick did and incredible job designing it. It's just lovely. See my incredibly designed bio page below.
Congrats CodePoet! #WPYall
I had the neat experience of going to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum here in Birmingham, Alabama. I wasn't expecting that I would like the museum as much as I did. The collection of vintage typography on the beautifully crafted motorcycles were just stunning. I also really enjoyed some of the old pressed metal work and emblems. Here are some photos of the vintage type.
Here are the slides on Responsive Design from my presentation at Future Insights Live in Vegas this past weekend. Thanks for everyone who came out!
