Paul Robert Lloyd’s Styleguides for the Web–in my mind, the single most important part of designing for large projects yet so often overlooked & undefined. Linked to in the article and also worth the read, David McCreath on why Mule doesn’t deliver Photoshop comps.

Will Wilkinson in The Economist on Missing The Point of WikiLeaks. I’m in general agreement with Wilkinson’s initial post on principle so that likely explains why I’m linking to this.

A Book Apart has released Dan Cederholm’s CSS3 For Web Designers. From the pitch:

From advanced selectors to generated content to the triumphant return of web fonts, and from gradients, shadows, and rounded corners to full-blown animations, CSS3 is a universe of creative possibilities

Jason Santa Maria talks more about it here and there’s an excerpt on CSS3 transitions (which I’m using on the hover states for links on this very site) on A List Apart right now. I really enjoyed Dan’s…

Amy Thibodeau at Contentini on What You Need to Know Before Hiring a Social Media Consultant. Likely a good first stop before you buy some of that snake oil.

Shazam!: The Golden Age of the World’s Mightiest Mortal. Are you kidding me? Looks like Dec. 1, 2010 is the day I’m out forty odd dollars. Huge hat tip to Emmet Matheson.

Remember yesterday when I was upset at the Pope? Today it’s Bill Donohue:

The pope did not go far enough. Radical atheists like the British Humanist Association should apologize for Hitler. But they should not stop there. They also need to issue an apology for the 67 million innocent men, women and children murdered under Stalin, and the 77 million innocent Chinese killed by Mao. Hitler, Stalin and Mao were all driven by a radical atheism, a militant and fundamentally dogmatic brand of…

From Pope Benedict’s speech to England:

Even in our own lifetime, we can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews, who were thought unfit to live. I also recall the regime’s attitude to Christian pastors and religious who spoke the truth in love, opposed the Nazis and paid for that opposition with their lives. As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist…

The Blaze, a news site from Glenn Beck. From his introductory letter:

The Blaze will pursue truth. Of course we will make mistakes. Honest mistakes. And we’ll be quick with corrections. We intend to earn your trust and keep it day in and day out with hard work and a lot of transparency.

I look forward to the hard hitting conspiracy theories to come from The Blaze.

Tim Bray on the reporting of the recent Android security scare & iOS security issue. One of these issues was nothing and Android got nailed for it, the other is/was a pretty substantial security risk and it got glazed over. Embarrassing.

What the fuck is my social media “strategy”?. As the site says: “Making it up so you don’t have to”, and seriously, let’s all just admit that you’re making it up. Social media “consultants” and “gurus” are the “SEO professionals” of the current wave. Regurgitated marketing babble peppered with common sense. Curious about the next wave of snake-oil on the web? Pay attention to Content Strategists*. I need a portfolio to display at least some proficiency at what I do, it seems a lot of Social…

From the Glass House Conversations site:

Each Monday, a host posts a provocation. People have only five days to respond. The boundaries of the conversation are set to just one week, ending on Friday evenings. After comments have closed a “Final Word” is chosen from the replies.

Stunningly beautiful and thoroughly engaging. Worth bookmarking.

ExpressionEngine 2.1 has been released, signalling the end of the 2.0 beta. This release clears up a bunch of bugs and reveals a whole new front end to the ExpressionEngine site. Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain again helms the redesign along with Simon Collison, Ryan Irelan, and Jason Morehead. I haven’t installed it yet (scared) but I like what I see in the changelog. Also worth mentioning, EllisLab is now offering a 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee. With the introduction of this guarantee,…
