Jake and I will be guests at March’s London Web Standards meetup. We’re giving a pair of JavaScript themed talks that should give plenty of fodder for the latter half of the evening’s discussion. I’m doing “Pro bun-fighting“, covering how we manage working on a large scale JavaScript project with a small team, [...]

The Christmas Bunny book prop & illustration work
February 18, 2010 – 7:39 pm
One of the things I enjoy doing that isn’t web related is illustration, and last week I was asked to create a set of illustrations and a book prop for Patrick’s short-film, The Christmas Bunny. The film was shot this weekend past, and is in the editing stages, but I thought I’d share some [...]
Writer’s block and Project52
February 4, 2010 – 11:50 am

I think you should pick your battles and save up your bile and wit for when it really counts. But there’s something about the 1023 campaign that really strikes [...]
Cold-calls and Madison Maclean recruitment
January 19, 2010 – 10:44 am

Especially when they’re cold-calling you at your place of work with jobs you’re not interested in. I will just say that I have worked with 1 nice agent, who got me the interview for [...]
JavaScript speed testing tutorial with Woosh
January 12, 2010 – 3:05 pm
Friend and colleague, Jake Archibald, has been developing Woosh, which is a JavaScript speed testing framework. Essentially, it’s been developed for Glow because we want to make sure that Glow 2 kicks Glow 1’s ass (and any else who fancies a piece), but he’s open-sourced the work to let everyone benefit from it.
I thought [...]
