DrupalCamp Austin goes mobile

With DrupalCamp Austin coming up this weekend, the web chefs have been working overtime to make things a bit easier on everyone at the camp. We’ve relaunched the website so that it works on everyone’s mobile devices while they hustle about between sessions. Instead of building a separate app, we’ve baked this mobile friendliness straight into the website using responsive web design.

HTML5.tx was Awesome!!

Todd and I had a great time going to HTML5.tx this past weekend. With some awesome sessions from Austin and beyond, it was a great day for front-end people to gather and geek out. I was very excited to present a session called Fun and Games with CSS3, which was a laid-back look at some of the newest CSS3 modules being developed today. I demoed a bunch of fun experiments and toys, and picked apart some of the more interesting ones on stage. You can check a some of them out at CSS3 Playground.
