Attend a learning break from your phone...

Just popped up in my rss feeds... timely after our discussion about the mobile site yesterday.

Zurb story here: http://zurb.com/responsive/reading Kia's site is: http://www.kia.com Number 6 is Kia's new RWD. I went to the kia.com site and the RWD was pretty awful. * MIN WIDTH: -- images and text are blurry. -- horizontal nav completly disappears. -- the 3 stacked horizontal bars that should pull up a menu.....don't. They drop the main page and you're stuck facing a carousel and some monumental horizontal and vertical scrolling to see only models of vehicles. * MAX WIDTH: -- they don't have a max width and try to stretch into infinity. Stretched across 2 or 3 of my displays and I have the full site.....blurry. * MOBILE SITE: -- it's a mini-version of the main desktop site. -- this works well on the iPad in both vertical and horizontal orientation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've seen great RWD when the min- and max-width are defined and the three horizontal bars become what used to be the horizontal navigation. But Kia's desktop RWD fall short in my opinion. If anyone ever reads this, I wonder what their impressions would be.

Didn't know that there are fonts to make text more friendly for dyslexics.

Just click on "Space Race" on the bottom left-hand side of the navigation menu, enter your UT e-mail address. They gave me 8gb more of space for doing just that.

AOL "creates an experience" where you can gather all of your e-mail addresses in one place. And you DON'T even need an AOL e-mail address to use it. Interesting..... I'm giving Alto a test drive with a few e-mail accounts.

Display resolutions and icon resolutions for all iOS devices.

Not something we need immediately, but should be handy in the near future.

If you think Windows 8 is just a change in GUI, you're already behind in the future of computing and GUI's. This article talks about the future of the computer and GUI's. Very interesting read.

I've been using it for about a week and it seems pretty stable. Very handy to update or add something to a card while using the iPad.

Possibly one of the coolest bookmarklet in history.

A usefully reductive look at responsive web design

iOS accessibility slides from webinar some team members attended in September 2012

A good article with several useful RSS readers. Most of them rely on the user having a Google reader account already setup.

The design is not my personal style, but I believe the execution is stunning. Thought I'd share with the group.

Some experiments CSS 3 patterns.

Some interesting information on moving away from the 1 pixel slices that make up most gradients in HTML.

This is a pretty neat browser for tablets. Lots of customization features and more intuitive than Safari. It's definitely worth a download. They have a free version and a "Pro" $0.99 version. I've used the free version. The pay version has a few extra features that are really not necessary to use a browser; they're really "bloatware" features.
