This is a godsend for web designers around the world. To keep things simple, skyzyx.com zips the necessary files and shares them […]
Simon Willison, Dave Shea and Ethan Marcotte are the most recent additions to the Web Standards Project’s team. A good day for web standards. Now everyone shout in unison, “tables for layout is stupid!”
Famous Filipino artist/designer Dino Ignacio was featured yesterday in an article/interview in The Philippine Star. He is known for his Bert is Evil! site (closed down, use this mirror link instead), and recently for his collaboration with Fil–Am stand–up comic Rex Navarrete in the Maritess vs The Superfriends flash animation. By the way, the list […]
