For the last week I’ve been out in California geeking out Disney-style by visiting Disneyland and attending all 3 days of the D23 Expo. These types of events always provide opportunities to see and do awesome things and this one is no different. In the first two days there were keynote events. Here’s what we saw!
Come on down to the Vintage Theater at 9am Saturday to see me speak about the basics of WordPress! My talk is part of a 24 Hour bonanza that’s going on from Friday at 9pm to Saturday at 9pm. I will include art, music, movies, tech, and more! The Vintage Theater is located at 326 Spruce Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania 18503. As for…
Yesterday, Web Design Tuts+ (@wdtuts) published a somewhat lengthly article I wrote about designing websites for Google Glass. I cover quite a bit, from device usage, to UX, to Mobile First and RWD. From the article: …we as web developers should be mindful of how we develop our websites. As it turns out, the principles I’m going to discuss aren’t…
Yunel Escober starts a Double Play with a Behind-the-Back Glove Flip. I love baseball. (via @MLB) Huckberry, my favorite online store for Man things, made a Flask Tie. Fantastic. Google has released a new Nexus 7, and more excitingly, the Chromecast, a small dongle that let’s you stream from multiple devices to your TV. (via @verge) In the smartphone selling game,…
I’ve had Google Glass for just over a week now and while I’m working up several articles on my thoughts, I did want to address some FAQs I’ve been getting from people. A lot of them are coming from the very same people you’re seeing over at People Reacting to Glass! How much do they cost? $1500 and come with…
MOOCs being embraced by US Universities: It seems like Massive Open Online Courses are being embraced as a form of distance learning. I think this will be the next major change in higher ed, especially considering the constant rising cost of college. Noted critic on Twitter: “It’s toast. Over. Done. History.”: This seems a bit extreme but he might be…
“It’s not working” is terrible feedback. It tells me nothing about what you were doing, what you were trying to do, and what the app didn’t do. It’s akin to looking at menu items without descriptions of the dishes. When you run into an issue and need to fill out a bug report or support ticket, try to answer these…
Over the last year or so I’ve been involved with a few major projects that required responsive design/development. One of the most important things to remember about a responsive design is that it’s not just good enough to make sure your design shrinks with a smaller browser on your computer. Presumably, you’re doing this because people will be accessing your…
I just started listening to podcasts regularly so I figured I’d share some of them, as well as your normal cool links. Stuff You Should Know: A podcast from How Stuff Works about general knowledge stuff that covers a wide range of topics from Bitcoin to Torture. Very interesting stuff! Stuff You Missed in History Class: Another podcast from How…
I’m currently sitting on an Amtrak train from NY Penn to Exton, PA (the Philly-ish area). The ticket taker was coming by on his nifty device scanning tickets, which would then check a database of purchased tickets to confirm the purchase and the identity of the purchaser. However, when we hit a tunnel (and therefore no data connection), the device…
