As I mentioned on twitter from now on I will make an effort of being more disciplined with sharing stuff from my feed reader.
I use google feed reader every day to keep up with what’s going on in the world of web design and development (and some other more whacky stuff). Some of it I bookmark on delicious but to get a more readable and complete stream of my shared stuff head on over to my shared items page . Of course there’s an rss feed, too
And as Rik suggested I might even make it a weekly feature here on the blog posting the latest links of the week. Here are the ten latest links for your enjoyment:
[Update:] I’ve changed the list of recent items to pure HTML. I was using the javascript snippet google reader suggests. But that is neither a very semantic way of doing it nor does it show up in google reader itself (if you’re subscribed to my feed)
Call me a genius, I managed to delete all the comments from the blog (yes, all of them) when getting rid of spam comments. Another proof of how spam ruins everything. Or not thinking about what you’re doing.
I’m currently trying to get my hands on a proper backup of the database, but it doesn’t look good (you know how it is with backups). If worst comes to worst, all the comments since mindgarden moved to the new server might be gone forever. So if you left a comment on mindgarden and it isn’t there anymore, it’s not because I don’t like you and deleted it.
This year’s fourth issue of the german Webstandards Magazin should hit the stores today. And I feel very honoured to be one of the authors contributing to this issue. My article is about the HTML5 and CSS3 that I used to relaunch mindgarden.de and is called “HTML5 und CSS3 - Mal was Neues wagen: HTML- und CSS-Features von Browsern im Praxiseinsatz.”
Unfortunately I haven’t received my copy yet and it’s not being sold here in England, but if you happen to be in Germany go pick up your copy today and let me know what you think!
Yesterday Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google posted his view on things in an article on Wall Street Journal , envisioning the future to look like this:
It’s the year 2015. The compact device in my hand delivers me the world, one news story at a time. I flip through my favorite papers and magazines, the images as crisp as in print, without a maddening wait for each page to load.
Apparently newspaper companies are indeed working on that future right now. Time Inc. have just released a demo of a tablet-targeted version of Sports Illustrated which gives a good impression of how they want to justify taking money for content in the digital age:
Also, the New York Times have recently released their Times Skimmer which is an alternative Interface for their headlines. What they’ve come up with is really nice I think. It is especially nice to see that they did not implement it in a proprietary format like Flash or Silverlight but instead used open standards like HTML and CSS (with some nice HTML5 and CSS3 highlights sprinkled on top). And they’re using @font-face through Typekit as well.
