Get More Comfortable With HTML5 Lists
At the time of its standardization, XHTML marked a major leap forward in standards for the web. Gone were the days of sloppy markup and broken pages due to unclosed tags. Strict syntax was the way of the future! Strict syntax promised to lead us to bigger and better success.
Well HTML5 is here and all that is out the window. HTML5 promises us more power than we've ever had before, but as far as markup syntax is concerned, it's sort of like moving from Dick's Drive In to Red Robin—both will get you your burger fix, but one has over a dozen overwhelming options vs the other's concise selection of four.
On Androids and iPhones
I've gotta admit: I don't have an iPhone. Apple and I have some karmic disconnect, I've learned through the years, and every day that I wake up (or at least every time I grab my phone) I thank my lucky stars that Google exists. Because without Android, I might have an iPhone... and that just seems wrong.
What Does it Take To Be a Rockstar?
Skills of the Rockstar Planner is a series of short videos presented by PSFK exploring the world of exceptional Account Planners, or who we in the design industry call Brand Strategists. But whether you're a strategist, designer, account manager or any of the other key roles serving clients in the creative industry, I think these skills can apply to us all. These short, 5-7 minute videos are full of valuable insight shared through a series of interviews with top planners/strategists.
Seattle Fashion Week 2010
A few of us decided to trade in our x-acto knives and creative briefs for an evening to show some love for our local, independent designers during Seattle Fashion Week 2010. We definitely had a good time enjoying the show, and as the photos show, enjoying a little bit of ourselves.

Microsoft's School of the Future First Graduating Class
"I never knew my full potential until I got here."
Mahcaiyah Wearing-Gooden, School of the Future Graduate, Class of 2010
After opening its doors for the first time in 2006, School of the Future (SOF) graduated its first senior class last week on June 15, 2010. This 750-student high school, a collaboration between the School District of Philadelphia and Microsoft, was built with a vision to challenge the education status quo. The school partnered with Microsoft to plan, build and support a new model for 21st-century learning communities, applying new approaches in curriculum, teaching methods and staffing. All 118 students, who are called "learners" at SOF, have earned acceptance to at least one postsecondary institution–a commitment they made to each other as ninth graders.
Our own Devin Liddell, Director of Brand Strategy, had the opportunity to fly out to Philadelphia to interview several of the first graduating students profiled for the Graduates piece and press materials PBDH designed for the SOF graduation...

Team AIGA: Helvetica's Angels
Let the herding of the cats begin!
As a trustee on the board of the National MS Society Greater Northwest Chapter I have been enlisted to help promote the Bike MS fundraiser ride in September. I could do like I did last year and recruit staff, family and friends to ride on Team PBDH. But how can I make a bigger contribution to this annual effort? Maybe form some bigger team that could make a difference to the MS community as well as the riders who participate. Thus was born Team AIGA: Helvetica's Angels.
The Donut Runner
I'd like to introduce the Donut Runner - an old Huffy bicycle that I purchased at the Capitol Hill Value Village last week for $20. Best $20 I ever spent...
