Preparation H

“CSS sucks! Can we please go back to intuitive tables?” – Anonymous developer

“Why does CSS make me want to kill myself? How do I make it OBEY me?” – Anonymous aspiring dictator

“I’m having a bad day. CSS ate my brains.” – Anonymous zombie

CSS may seem unreliable, but actually it’s just a bit dumb. We’ll take a look at the dumbest bits of CSS, and we’ll check out CSS’s optional, shiny new brain, SASS and Compass.

Preparation H – Treat your CSS with SASS & Compass

Xero – 10 Best Application UIs of 2008

by Jeffrey on August 12, 2008 · 2 Comments · in design, jeffrey-ism, work

I rarely post about work, but Xero was named one of the 10 best application user interfaces of 2008 by Jakob Nielson.

*swoon*

From the article: “But Xero might be a more interesting example, simply because it targets the traditionally dry domain of accounting. Users compared this interaction to playing Tetris and described it as fun and addictive. Come on, making accounting fun? That’s an award-winning design.”

Great job team! (especially Philip and Grant)
