We just ran into this problem yesterday. A box with overflow: scroll will appear un-scrollable to users. It is a great example of form over function. Apple is too far on the form part of the equation quite often. Another example are the sha

Great! However the pacing still feels dense. I think beginners reading this could use two things: 1. more frequent sectioning and 2. more examples. Bonus round would be giving the students a way to actively demonstrate their newly gained kn

I've been using Twitter Bootstrap on a two projects for months. It has a huge upside, even for designers who write their own CSS. Version 2 seems to be filling in some gaps ( like responsive design and navigation lists/tabs ) and "filling o

Steve Blank says: Startup teams require a Hacker, a Hustler, a Designer and a Visionary. The title of this post could be "Make sure you bring your hustle to Startup Chile!". I know we will and I thank God every day for our little hustler :)

I am touched by the loss of Ilya. Kipling's "IF" seems an appropriate addition to the discussion thread tonight. --- IF..... IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself wh

Dropbox seems to be more focused on teams of people working together. Dropbox is more focused on having a "shared folder". Kicksend seems to be more focused on individuals sending large files to other individuals. I could see Kicksend growi

It seems that Ward is looking for a pattern in the code and context of the web, the same way that Michelangelo was searched for the sculpture in the stone. "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to d

However I should point out that JMG points to different root causes of "decline". His core thesis is that Peak Oil and net-energy / net-resource growth not meeting demand are the main determining factors in our shrinking economy. His hopefu
