If you've played with #HTML in the 90s, you'll want to read this from @ricmac. I was part of Siegel's #hacks' (#HTMLterrorism) cult.

"With the rise of #Flash and #CSS in 1997, three #webdesign philosophies emerged. #DavidSiegel advocated for 'hacks', #JakobNielsen kept it simple, while #JeffreyZeldman combined flair with usability."

"By controlling what I listen to, and the order in which I listen, I’m slowly designing an infinite collage of my evolving musical tastes."

Maybe I should take another look at my long-abandoned Last.fm account.

From the man, the myth, the legend that is Zeldman.

Over on the fediverse (or at least the German speaking part of it) there’s a bit of a challenge going on: post 20 books that shaped you, but only their covers without any comments. Now of course I won’t be able to skip the comments, so here they are. (Think of them as the DVD extra to the post.)

This book still informs how I think about websites – the techniques of the books are old by now, the spirit of thinking about websites isn’t. And all other ideas that came after it – progressive enhancement, responsive design etc. – carry that spirit with them.
