Noah is a partner at Bold the SF based Web Design and Development shop. This is where he blogs. And writes his bio. In the third person.
A time-lapse of Josh Helmsley’s work on a theme for WordPress. I love how he watches a few shows in the background while he’s working.
Also fascinated by Josh, and other designers I’ve seen, who don’t work in Photoshop’s Full Screen Mode.
Harold Emsheimer snapped this photo of Jonathan Bowden, myself, Phil Coffman and Paul Armstrong at SXSW this year. I love it.
Not unlike the Summer of Noah, I often dream of starting my own town – Town of Noah. It would be not unlike Austin, Texas but not really. I would probably have to be mayor, which I would be cool with, unless the mayor had to decide things like whose sheep to feed to the neighboring town, Dragonraptorville, so as to keep the peace between Town of Noah and the Dragonraptorville dragonraptor beasts that can fly and also use the new Windows with IE9. I also wouldn’t want to have to deal with having to explain to everyone why there is a Round Table Pizza on every corner. Oh, and also it would suck to have to pick all the lovely ladies that would want to live in my predominantly 25-35 year old male computer-web-designer-developer-nerd town because of course all the ladies don’t want to live in Dragonraptorville because you know, getting eaten by a dragonraptor sucks. It would almost be like The Bachelor, and I would be that Chris Hansen guy, or was it Brit Hume? I think the mayor would also have to be in charge of organizing events like “Runny Mac & Cheese Day”, “Race To Dragonraptorville Hill and Back (all survivors win a new iPod Touch)” and the town favorite, “North By North East” where we all pay a bunch of money to go to my friend Phil’s town, Phillville, and eat tacos day and night while listening to mediocre speakers talk about the best way to kill Dragonraptors.
So, I would be pretty busy I but I suppose I could just delegate that crap out.
The response from my last A List Apart article was over whelmingly cool. It’s since been translated into five languages. I’ve been lucky enough to have the chance to write another article entitled CSS Floats 101.
This article will hopefully be an incredibly useful resource for folks who have been to blows with floats in the past or for folks just entering our wonderful world of markup and looking to learn the basics. Maybe now, we can stop floating everything people.
I was lucky enough to owe a favor to Phil Coffman. It got me the chance to build out the front and back end of his lovely new site, Method & Craft. Gone are the lists of lists of lists of glossy buttons. Let’s focus on design and the method of our craft.
You know how when people are brain dead, they generally pick up the term as being a vegetable? What’s the deal with that? I mean, clearly they’re not a vegetable. It’s not like your mom is forcing you to eat them… and it’s not like they contain all these vitamins and minerals that are good for you, and help you to grow up big and strong.
It’s quite deceiving and I think our children are suffering from some serious cases of confusion-citay. So I propose we switch over to something like, water chestnut. Those have like zero minerals and vitamins. The only thing they’re really good for is crunching. I love a good crunch, and I think most folks do too.
