-
May 2, 2008 10:22 PM
I notice that recently Zeldman mourned the decline of the personal site(A). Several responded rebutting the claim(B). Personally I am not sure I care.

I would like you all to meet Jamie Knight. He is an amazing young man who emailed me a while back. He has an astounding mind and an incredible story. In the following (unedited) post he shares a little bit of it with us...
My journey with books
-
June 24, 2007 7:07 PM
Its funny how I have begun to see patterns emerge in the types of emails I receive. One of the most common is an interest in what I read. I am not sure whether people mean just in terms of web design or generally speaking, but I thought I would share my somewhat erratic relationship with the written word.
Lost: Top 5 moments
-
June 1, 2007 9:18 AM
I have just completed a Lost marathon in order to finish season 3. One part I found particularly powerful was Charlie writing his list of top moments in his life. He inspired me to do the same.

The most important thing I learn't at SXSW this year is don't mess with Cindy Li...
My Sledge Hammer List
-
December 4, 2006 7:08 PM
I got into a very strange conversation today on Twitter that resulted in Chris Heilmann suggesting I broke the hands of any designer I felt was more talented than me. With that in mind here is the list of people I intend to attack with a sledge hammer at SXSW.

November 19, 2006 7:53 PM
So Refresh06 is now over and I am mere moments away from heading back to the UK. Although the conference suffered from the occasional hiccup it has been incredibly enjoyable and I have been inspired by the amazing people I have met.
Personal Posting

I had an interesting conversation with Molly Holzschlag and Ann McMeekin at the recent Geek Dinner where we discussed different approaches to blogging. Talking to them has made me wonder if I should tweak my style slightly.
Macs... don't you love them :)

For fear of incurring even more wrath from the mac community, I felt that I just had to share this video I have found on YouTube with you all.
The geeks gone soft
-
August 8, 2006 8:54 AM
Today is my eighth wedding anniversary and so I have decided to take some liberties with this blog. After all, while most men say I love you with flowers or chocolates, a geek says it with a blog post.
Darth Vader Mashup
-
July 24, 2006 4:55 PM
Okay so it is nothing to do with web design, but it is my site and I like Star Wars. Enjoy with me James Earl Jones (the voice of Darth Vader) as you have never heard him before.

A muddled mind
-
April 10, 2006 9:05 PM
Last week we did a podcast on the WAI accessibility guidelines where I made a fairly major blunder on one of the checkpoints. Unsurprisingly this has led to a lot of entirely justifiable joking at my expense. However, now that I am suitably humiliated I thought it might be worth having a go at persuading you that actually I am right and the WAI guidelines are wrong (well not wrong as such just slightly lacking)!
A short break

Due to an overwhelming workload, we are going to be forced to take a short break from boagworld. Please don't forget us!
Holier-than-thou standardites
-
February 22, 2006 2:35 PM
A number of things have happened recently that have got me thinking about the state of web design. I find myself increasingly concerned about the mentality that is developing within certain parts of the industry.

Death by keyboard
-
August 10, 2005 8:19 PM
Everybody has their perfect partner, or so they say. Well, I believe we all have our perfect keyboard too. I have had my keyboard nearly four years now and hate using any other. What I did not know is that secretly it has been trying to kill me!
Home working and departing friends
-
July 29, 2005 6:23 PM
Well, today sees the first member of staff to leave Headscape since setting the company up in January 2002. It is a strange experience having a member of staff leave when you are a virtual company.
Terrorist attack on London

As I sit here watching the bombings of London unfold I feel a need to write a few words on what I am seeing.
