It never occurred to me that you could include an encoded font in the stylesheet. Perhaps this not only eliminates a request, but it fixes Flash of Unstyled Text (FOUT) for browsers that support data-uri's. http://paulirish.com/2009/fighti

I really appreciate the new learning tools to become more adept at programming and the command line. However, I often find myself mindlessly re-typing the commands being thrown at me without really understanding what's going on, or why I'm

Perhaps it should also include a non-ligature way of displaying icons. In current accessibility practices, when you place a description after its image you are supposed to include an empty alt attribute. So say you have social icons...

Seems to work where font-feature works (late versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari, IE10). http://caniuse.com/font-feature It includes a shim for older versions of IE. The shim seems to be able to work for Opera, but it's not loaded. It

Facebook is sitting on top of a tons of personal data that is incredibly valuable to marketers. They currently don't share this information, but if the "Ponzi Scheme" were to start crumbling all they have to do is give more access to data.

The actual story is linked in the nav (for those wondering). This matches my experience with programming too. It's just beautiful how pieces fall into place when you first start programming. I remember first taking a look into Rails when it

I'm wary of online survey results as users just want to get through them as soon as posible. Their motivation is not helping you, it's reaching the carrot at the end of the stick. I once had a prospective client who wanted to launch a healt
