Hi!

Well, I managed to post things for 2 days before I forgot all about Tumblr for a month. That’s not totally true, the intention of this site is just to write about things I want to write about that won’t nicely fit in 140 characters on Twitter, and there just hasn’t been anything worth writing about.  There still isn’t really, I just felt the need to write something.

Things that have been tickling my fancy (ruh) lately:

  • Backbone.js - really lightweight framework that makes it easy to add a bit of structure to your Javascript “applications” without getting in the way too much, and makes it trivial to integrate a REST backend.
  • CSS3 Transforms - I’d read about these and seen demos for ages but never implemented one, so so easy - especially with..
  • Compass - makes working with CSS a lot easier (especially dealing with cross-browser features like transforms). The spiriting support is a huge time saver, and I even found a use case for loops!

.. as you can probably tell I’ve been doing a lot of HTML/JS/CSS apps lately at work :)
