Weekend Fun

Things We Wish Clients Would Say

Things We Wish Clients Would SayYesterday I tweeted the following: “On current client project, client says CSS only needs to work in Chrome. Let me know how jealous you are.”

The results weren’t too surprising. Below I brainstormed a list of some other things we wish clients would say. I guess this is the polar opposite of what you find here, except these quotes aren’t real. Enjoy.

CSS in Real Life

CSS In Real LifeLet’s have some fun with CSS selectors, properties, and values. All the rule sets shown here contain valid CSS that represent things in real life.

A few sensitive subjects represented here, but they’re not meant to cause offence. Just some CSS silliness. Enjoy.

SemanticsI wanted to tweet this, but it was too long for Twitter so I thought I’d just post it as a short piece for the weekend.

For those who haven’t seen the news announcing changes to the HTML5 spec on the WHATWG blog, be sure to read that and some of the comments.

But the funniest and most brutally honest comment belongs to someone posting under the name “Hamranhansenhansen”.

5 Jobs I’d Prefer Over Web Design

Pseudo-FruitsThis is not a knock against my current area of work. I love what I do, and I don’t intend to change. But I think most of us think about what we might do (or what we might have done) if web design wasn’t in the equation.

In this case, though, I’m taking it a little further. Instead of just saying “here’s what I’d do if I couldn’t do web design”, this is actually a list of legitimate jobs that I would rather have if I could jump into them immediately and not do anything related to the field of web design. These are not necessarily in preferred order.
