My Site is Now Responsive
I guess I’ve again been itching to redesign my site, but due to the several million other things that I still need to do, I guess I’ll probably just save that for next year. Instead, the geek in me decided to fiddle with my codes and make my site responsive. Mid last year, A List Apart and Ethan Marcotte released an article on Responsive Web Design so I’m kinda late to the party! To anyone who isn’t familiar with it, it is an approach in which you create a layout for your site that “responds” to the width of the device you’re using. That means you no longer need create a separate mobile version of your site that needs to adapt to the screens of the many different mobile devices out there. How cool is that? As Jeffrey Zeldman said it himself, Responsive is the new black. But really, it’s not just a fad or some kind of buzz word. It is, I believe, one of the many things a Web Designer must have in their toolbox.
Re:Build 2011 Presentation
Despite the jetlag, I’m still having a really great time at Re:Build Conference in Indianapolis, IN. A million thanks to Tony and Justin (these guys are awesome) for inviting me — great location, great food, great everything! And to all those who came out, thank you! Glad you enjoyed and are enjoying the speakers’ talks and as promised, here are my slides. Enjoy :)

I am excited to announce that I will speaking at this year’s Re:Build, a conference about building the Web.

There’s a great lineup of speakers who will talk about design and development and at only $149 USD, that’s already a great deal so don’t forget to mark that date on your calendars!
Dribbble Invite Giveaway! Get Drafted Now!
Update: Congrats to Sheena Oosten for winning the Dribbble invite. Thanks to everyone who participated. You’re all very talented and I’m hoping I had a lot more to invites to give away, but I’ll post them whenever I’m given more.
Dribbble is show and tell for creatives. Designers, developers and other creatives share shots — small screenshots of the designs and applications they are working on. I’ve been getting several emails from people asking for invites. There was even someone I used to know who never ever got in touch with me in the past but surprisingly wrote me asking for a Dribbble invite. Very thoughtful, yeah? :\
FOWD NYC 2010 Presentation
I’m finally back in LA from my trip to New York and I’m extremely exhausted! Nevertheless, I had a spankin’ great time! As some of you probably already know, I was invited to speak at the Future of Web Design (hosted by Carsonified) last November 16 held at the New World Stages in none other than The Big Apple — New York City. I spoke about “What the Web Will Look Like in 2 Years?”
