Finally, I'm getting to a question for y'all... Do you have a go-to resource for helping traditional print designers migrate to web design concepts and best practices?

#WebDesign #WebDesigners

I want to emphasize that I'm not questioning designer talent or capability. This is a problem of adapting from a static media type to something dynamic.

I encountered more of this in the early days of the web when traditional ad agencies were in a frenzy to adopt the web, but I still find designers entrenched in this background much harder to work with.

I always try to educate gently as I go, but these are not small shifts and require time to adjust and adapt in ways don't align with project deadlines.

There's also a difference in tooling...adjusting from something like InDesign or Illustrator (I can do a whole other thread on why this frustrates the hell out of developers) into something more web-specific like Figma.

There's conceptual gap (e.g., static vs. responsive), but also practical gap of general web usability and design concepts (e.g., heading levels, units of measure, color contrast and accessibility, etc.)

I've worked with a lot of talented designers that come from a traditional media/print background and struggle to adjust to web.

Good to know that Bluetooth still picks up the vinyl sound!

I'm starting a vinyl collection and want to buy a turntable. I'm not sure whether I want to connect to bluetooth or go with a wired speaker, but I want it to *sound* like vinyl and not just another digital track.

Important: I value minimalism.

Recommendations? #vinyl #TwoTurnTablesAndAMicrophone

So relaxing! Really set the mood for those last few hours of work.

I just updated my interactive blog post on CSS Grid! It now includes explanations for the `span` keyword, as well as a brief look at `grid-auto-flow`:

I occasionally will try to cancel an online service, just because I know they'll offer me a discounted price for a few months to stick around.

Recently this bit me in the butt though. They called my bluff and the cancellation went through and then I had to renew at a higher price. #failedhack

And here's to hashtags I never thought I'd find myself using on social media. All the same, go get yourselves checked, ladies!

My brain is so tired (in a good way) from today’s @cloudfestusa.bsky.social hackathon, I don’t have the energy to post something unique here, so I just give you my post on LinkedIn. 🤓

Thanks, Jeff! Sounds like a short trip, but maybe we'll cross in the hallway track!

Also, if you're curious what we're building at #CFHack, @fair.pm and @patchstack.com are teaming up on the FAIR Software Security Assistant, an open-source tool that automates vulnerability checks and policy enforcement for FAIR repositories.

@raemorey.bsky.social has a great writeup. 👇

I'm really looking forward to @cloudfestusa.bsky.social next week as well as participating in my first hackathon. If you're going to be at the event, reach out and say hi! 👋

I've used Clarity.fm for years as a pay-by-the-minute consulting platform, but the service is meh. Phone call quality is consistently poor and there's no online meeting option (gimme some screen share ability!).

I don't do a ton of these calls, but I need a better solution. What do you use?
