Josh Wagoner is blogging. http://blog.dobaginski.com/josh/   Josh is a “experience software engineer” at IdentityMine and he doesnt have any secret identities that I know of so I can openly brag about how good he is.  I worked with him on the snowboard app that was shown at CES among many other projects. He’s also the mastermind behind [...]

So far in the last couple hours I have found 3 great benefits of IE8 beta 2.   First IE8 is launching really fast. This is great since I am doing a lot of Silverlight stuff lately… Build and run gets painful when you are doing it hundreds of times a day. IE 8 boots up noticeably [...]

I’m going to be at PDC again this year. Can’t wait to see what Microsoft has to show! I’ve been to the last couple of PDC’s so now its starting to feel like things just won’t be right if I miss out.   It will probably be my first outing since my twin girls were born so [...]

First I wake up to the news that Laurent Bugnion (the code trotter himself) will be working with identity mine. This is fantastic news for us as Laurent is amazingly talented and incredibly fun to work with. Read his post here.   I’m so excited about it I wore my identity mine logo wear (untucked of course, [...]

A couple of years ago, Richard Rutter wrote Compose to a Vertical Rhythm, which described how web developers could use CSS to maintain proper vertical typographic rhythm when designing pages. The technique is fairly straightforward, requiring some basic math to ensure consistent margins and leading across all page elements. One issue that many people face with [...]

<ShamelessPlug> Just saw a post on Jackson Fish Market about this article. Apparently startups are scrimping on coffee.. This is a travesty… One that I am happy to say that identity mine is definitely not a part of. We requested cafeine and identity mine delivered. We just purchased a Rancilio Silvia and Rocky for our new Pioneer [...]

I’m happy to introduce version 1.0 of my Dynamic Layout JavaScript library. Dynamic Layout is a simple library that allows you to easily adjust page layout based on the current browser width. The script works by modifying the class property on the body element, adding a new class name that will look something like bw-1000, where 1000 [...]

I have to admit that I’ve become a little obsessed with type in the last 6 months.  This, I think, is a completely justifiable obsession for a a UI guy.  Type carries a massive amount of information sharing potential.  In addition to the text it carries, the type itself is a potent tool for talking [...]

I really like Jason Fried (of 37 signals) and pay attention when he has something to say.  So that’s exactly what I did when I read this post yesterday about why they skip a Photoshop (or visual comp) step in their development process.  He makes a number of salient points: Photoshop isn’t interactive, it’s not [...]
