Forcing myself to take on as much public speaking as possible has been super rewarding. I encourage everyone to give it a shot.
RT @mozhacks: http://www.glazman.org/weblog... - a call to action by the chair of the CSS working group - stop building webkit-only sites, you kill standardisation.
RT @Mike_FTW: As long as you keep using GoDaddy they will have money to make ads. And as long as they have money they will make the same ads.
So much for newspapers trying to adapt and survive. Seriously, how does this site still have a readership? http://twitter.com/lesjame...
RT @paul_irish: * { box-sizing: border-box } FTW http://paulirish.com/2012...

RT @h5bp: Confused about which HTML5/CSS3/etc features to use? When to use polyfills? http://html5please.us is here to help!
RT @Windows: Always remember the basics: Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+X to cut, and Ctrl+V to paste
RT @jasonsantamaria: Man, @herpderpedia is depressing. Not because folks are misinformed, but because the info is a scant three sentences and they don't read it.
RT @SteveStreza: Follow @herpderpedia for retweets of people who can't figure out why Wikipedia is blacked out.
CSS text gradient using mask-image. If anyone knows how to do this w/o having to use a title attribute let me know. http://dabblet.com/gist...
RT @chartier: 1. Open this Southwest Air post on a recent iOS device 2. Scroll to the bottom, move your device http://www.blogsouthwest.com/blog... HT @mskblackbelt
I've got a design post brewing! 2012 is going to be the year that I blog more than twice. Now I just need to figure out where to post it to.
RT @mathias: The new (and hopefully final) linear gradient syntax: http://www.broken-links.com/2012...
RT @wilto: And you guys wonder why you never hear me complain about IE anymore. http://twitter.com/wilto...
RT @kizmarh: The two-valued syntax for border-radius is nonsense. Anyone ever used it? In practice you'll want to set the two top or two bottom corners.
Sass function to convert px to em -> @function em($px, $base: 16px) { @return ($px / $base) * 1em; } Use like this -> font-size: em(12px);

Seriously, signing this petition to veto SOPA is the easiest thing you will do all day. Go make it happen. https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitio...
Responsive design is great but the real challenge I'm excited about is going to be creating websites that are resolution independent.

Really impressed w/ the new #Sass feature of passing content blocks to mixins. Makes cross browser targeting a dream! http://t.co/lCJpMGL9
