Week in Review – 15.12.11
Written by Jon Phillips on December 15th 2011
Yes, It’s that time of the year again. And it’s also time for another Week In Review post—actually it’s more like a recap of the past 2 weeks :)
Before we dive in I’d like you to join me and welcome our brand new Fusion publishers, James Young (@welcomebrand) and Mark Otto (@mdo)!
2012 Fusion Lineup
If you’ve been thinking of advertising on Fusion Ads, wait no longer! We’ve already started working on next year’s lineup, so make sure to drop us an email to discuss booking 2012 placements.
8 Faces #4
Lovers of fine typography rejoice! Elliot recently released #4 of the very popular 8 Faces magazine. Looks like there might still be copies left, grab one while they’re hot!
The Wall
Great thought-provoking article by Frank Chimero:
What’s on the wall is all there is. When we publish, we open a line of engagement where criticism is an option, so we must learn to not only receive the feedback of others, but learn to give it in a civil, articulate, and helpful way.
CSS commenting strategy
In this post, Mark Otto shares his own CSS commenting strategy—definitely worth reading (and remembering) for all developers out there:
After running into problems of our own with mysterious or vague code, I figure I’ll share my general set of quick and flexible guidelines for commenting in CSS.
Google Street View Edition”>Cinemascapes – Google Street View Edition
Beautiful images, ’nuff said.
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your wallets!
I’ll be reaching for my wallet for sure when Jon Hicks’s Icon Handbook comes out. The Icon Handbook will be available to pre-order on December 20th, 2011. Don’t miss this.
The twelve days of design: 2011 holiday gift guide
The folks at idsgn.org got twelve superb design gifts for the holidays.
Tools & Toys Christmas Catalog
Since we’re talking about Christmas gifts, don’t forget to have a look at the selection found on Shawn Blanc’s Tools & Toys!
Design Compromise
Great article from one of our most recent publishers, Mark Boulton:
My experience in design is that there’s a lot of grey. Nothing is ever cut and dry. People are complicated. Perception and behaviour is difficult to account for
Dear TextMate
Macromates just released an Alpha version of TextMate 2.0 (which I very much like so far) and Matt Gemmell wrote them an open letter. An absolute must-read.
iOS grippers
It’s no secret that a lot of our publishers have a thing for Apple, Mac and iOS devices. Neven wrote an interesting post about the ‘grippers’ you can find in iOS 5. I have to say I much prefer Neven’s version.
Responsive Web Design in Sass Part 2: Media Queries in Sass
Here’s an excellent tutorial on The Sass Way about responsive web-design and Media Queries in Sass—worth a bookmark for sure.
Backpacks and Messenger Bags
I’m pretty sure I own at least 10 bags myself, mostly messenger bags. It’s great to know I’m not alone in that situation. Ben Brooks wrote a great (and lengthy) post about messenger bags and backpacks.
Expo 67 Montreal Post Cards
Fusion’s parent company, BuySellAds, is based in Boston, MA. I’m a couple hours away in Montreal, Canada. And it was nice to see my hometown on Wanken with these beautiful postcards from Expo67.
Happy Holidays – All The Best In 2012
To conclude, I’d like to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a happy Holiday season. All the best in 2012. A very special thanks to our publishers, advertisers and supporter for making Fusion such an incredible network!
Oh and did you know Twitter redesigned? :)
