A Goodbye and a Hello.
After almost six years I’ve decided it was time to leave my position as Web Designer at Dyad Communications and find a new opportunity at a larger creative agency. This will allow me to further my professional growth and work on new types of projects. It’s hard to put into words nearly six years of work experience. I’ve had such an amazing time working on so many well designed websites. At the...

The Final Nail in the Coffin →
On August 15, Adobe will no longer offer Flash for Android through the Google Play store. Any Android device that does not already have Flash will be unable to download it any longer. It is the end of a very long, difficult road for Adobe as it cedes video on mobile browsers to HTML5.

A nice, growing, collection of free glyphs. Includes SVG downloads, so you can easily import the icons into Icomoon or Fontello (if you’re like me and prefer webfont-based icons). via 9-bits

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs →
minimalmac:
Mona Simpson provides, in daring yet delicate prose, the most beautiful and intimate portrait of Steve Jobs we will likely ever see.

HOWTO: Use UTF-8 Throughout Your Web Stack →
via rentzsch
Good is the enemy of Great Latin-1 is the enemy of UTF-8. You write web apps. You understand the web is global, and want to support internationalization. You want UTF-8.
