The HTML5 <time> element is no more (along with the pubdate attribute) and has been replaced by <data>. I don’t think there is anyone who thinks this is a good idea, especially as it has been out in the wild for a good while now. Gone is the ability for machine readable dates and times as nothing will now follow a common standard. Madness.
CSS3 Image Styles

Very nice things you can do with CSS on images. The embossed styles are similar to how I created slick CSS3 buttons with box-shadow and rgba.

A very simple tip from TJ Taylor that I was completely unaware of until now even after all these years of using Photoshop. You know when you create a single line of text in Photoshop and you actually want to manipulate the height and width but you can’t? Well, right click the text with the text tool and you’ve got the option to ‘Convert to Paragraph Text’. Not the biggest problem in the world but should improve productivity nonetheless.
My Response to @netmag's Plea on Twitter for Positive Feedback about Adobe Muse
August 17th, 2011 — No Comments
I think it’s good to see Adobe thinking differently and trying new things despite the fact they’ve failed so miserably with Muse. Adobe’s cluelessness is a great opportunity for the little guys though. The independent app developers who do get it will thrive under the failing of a big company. I hope to see a few companies take this opportunity to be innovative and do something new and exciting, something that will make us use our bloated, expensive tools less and less. Also, in that scenario there will be more competition which is only a good thing for advancing the way we work.
I’ve emailed this over to them. Share your thoughts on this with me and my followers on Google+.

August 15th, 2011 — 3 Comments
It’s summer here in London which means I have less time to sit at a computer and write. Combine that with moving into a new place with my girlfriend, starting a new job and not having home broadband for two months thanks to the useless idiots at Virgin Media (with a dose of stupidity from O2 and British Telecom) and you can see why Inspect Element hasn’t been updated anywhere near as much as I would have liked. It sounds rather familiar to a similar situation last year! Fear not as it will all change soon. We have super fast internet, I’m settled in my new job at Factory Media and I’m raring to get going with the new Inspect Element.
