I think you are right. But, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's better to look at "destroying our planet" (or whatever) as a byproduct? Like you said, we didn't decide this in Africa, it's just a result of our drive to advance our way of life. But,

"everyone chooses to live a more basic quieter life against our natural instincts." Serious? That's a huge claim. yet, so many people do live this "quieter" life. I am striving to live that life. There is quite a growing community (at least

I agree with the post, and have come to hate PHP less. But the main reason I choose python or ruby (when I have the choice) is because of the syntax. I'm not sure the proper term, but I find you have to write more characters, as apposed to

You should tell viewers that. Talk about what you did for each project, your approach and the technology used; By having a portfolio consisting of just a bunch of images you run the risk of potential clients saying, "I want the VLC<or w

I really like the idea of using email for, well, everything. And I prefer blogging by email (like posterous) and implemented it myself for App Engine ( https://gist.github.com/462907 ). As for this generic crud service. I think the problem

Thanks for spell checking! As for the errors. Oh well. The main site structure is valid and works on the 3 major browsers I tested(Chrome,FF,IE8). The first error is too beneficial to give up, and the rest are for a shitty form code (but th

Good point, definitely aware. But, I have zero-overhead and am quit fast so $15/page is possible for me. And, of course it would be my intention to deliver equal quality work as those services.

Cool! I'll setup a page for the service now. Edit: http://staydecent.ca/markup

Valid points. If there was interest in this I would offer the choice of Blueprint or 960.gs. As for HTML, I would use my starting template which resembles HTML5-Boilerplate and the choice of HTML5 elements(header, footer, article etc.) or n

I was just thinking of something similar; Would everyone want HTML5 elements or rather not? My thinking right now, is I would build an order form that has a few predefined options. I usually use my own CSS starting point but am familiar wit

I'm wondering, as I'm not making any money (devoting time to a startup idea) right now, if anyone would be interested in a similar service for the markup? I'm really quite good and would charge $15/page. I can offer impressive turn around t

lambda never mentions anything about Organic. Organic is not the same as humanely raised meat, nor hormone free. And, IMHO, Organic standards are so varied and in many cases silly that the green label isn't even a tell for a desirable produ

Fontspring( http://www.fontspring.com/ ) is a service, very similar to Fontsquirrel(perhaps done by the same people, but can't back that claim up). Fontspring offers @font-face licensing for professional fonts. I just used it because they h

I really think neither OS X nor Windows has the upper hand on the other, so I'll offer my top gripe for each. OSX: Window/File Management. I've been told it's the "mac way" to open a program to create a file. I'm reliant on the OS/Finder to

That's no good. What browser/OS? I'm developing with Chrome/Windows7 and have tested in Firefox. `elm.children("form").bind('submit focusout', function() {` is the event. Thanks for trying it out!

For the web, I strongly agree. I like to site back, a few feet away from my monitor, when the font is 12pt or any less I have to lean in. 13-14pt are nice, and there a bunch of sites with body copy set in 15pt+. It's easier to create a visu
