I have already said a lot of what I want to say about vendor prefixes, but here’s one more tidbit.

Removing support for prefixed CSS features, when a feature is considered stable, seems counterproductive to me. Here’s why.

The Prefixolypse is upon us.

For the past few years, one of the ways CSS has advanced is through the use of vendor prefixes. According to the minutes from a recent CSS Working Group meeting, that framework may be about to collapse.

Here’s my take on the coming Prefix Armageddon.

Andy Budd wrote a great post on Web Design Disciplines Explained Through the Medium of Dungeons & Dragons. Go read the article: I’ll wait.

If you have never played an RPG, his post or mine are probably not for you. If, however, you fondly remember days of tabletop gaming, read on, as I have a few more thoughts on this great analogy.

A big change is coming with Adobe this year: In 2012, Adobe will be launching the Adobe Creative Cloud. I think this will make a big difference for Adobe users. Here’s why.

Updated: Long live natural responsive web design breakpoints

Stephanie Rieger, in her posts, “The ‘trouble’ with Ice Cream Sandwich” and “The ‘trouble’ with Android”, points out the myriad little ways that the pixel width of the browser can differ from the default pixel width of the device, from zoom levels to text scaling to browser views embedded within apps that have chrome on the sides of the browser.

Today was my first time attending a City Camp or any conference that used an unconference format.

I’ve helped plan a “normal” conference, so I was curious how an unconference would work in comparison.

I’m sure unconferences vary. Here’s my take on the one I attended.

Otto Doll, CIO of Minneapolis, led a great discussion on open data. Here are my notes on that discussion.

The city of Minneapolis has a lot of data. That gets put together in information presented to the community by the city. However, what raw data should be shared publicly? (Not all data can or should be shared.) How is that data shared? If we put this data out there, do we put it out there forever? Do we keep publishing it forever? Archiving it forever?

Steven Clift introduced City Camp Minnesota. He is director of e-democracy.org and leads a class at the Humphrey School. His class is helping to run this unconference. Food has been provided thanks to a number of sponsors.

While yesterday was 11/11/11, City Camp MN is taking place on 11/11/11 +1.

Session ideas were posted on a board and voted on with stickers. In a magic room, that will be used to help determine which sessions we have today. If we don’t like what was picked, vote with our feet!

Four principles of UnConferences. This is Open Space!

Today, I am attending City Camp MN, an unconference that brings together people working for local government, elected officials, non-profits, neighborhood groups, private-sector developers, journalists…basically anyone interested in making our communities better through technology. The idea is that we can collaborate and by doing so, we can come up with solutions better than if we were to all just work on our own. This is of course the basic theory that underpins the idea of government itself, but it is more than that, too.

Today, we celebrate 11/11/11. This feels significant.

The numbers are alliterative, a palindrome, binary.

This is the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of this millennium. Or perhaps it’s the 12th year of the millennium. It depends on how you count.

We call this year 2011, because 2011 years ago was Anno Domini, the year of our lord, when Jesus Christ was born in the little town of Bethlehem.
