Professional Web Developer, Apprentice Photographer
I spent last weekend in Gettysburg, PA for a wedding and did some touring of the Gettysburg National Military Park and downtown Gettysburg. The first image above is of the McPherson Barn, one of many locations of conflict in the Battle of Gettysburg, the second is a scene of an alley in town. Both images fitting on this Memorial Day. See all of my photos from the trip in this Flickr set.
Last week I had the pleasure of speaking to the great crowd at the New York Web Performance Group Meetup. Fellow presenter Marco Carag (Front End Manager at The Knot) laid down a strong foundation with a discussion of where HTML and CSS sit on the Progressive Enhancement ladder. Following that I came in and talked about JavaScript’s different roles in PE, client side performance, and browser support of upcoming Web Standards. Here’s the slide deck from my portion of the presentation:
The second to last slide mentions a few great supporting articles if you’re interested in how best practices and performance go hand in hand and didn’t make the talk:
Thanks again to Marco and Sergey for the invitation to speak, Interactive One for hosting the event, and all those in attendance for the great questions along the way!
This year was the third time I’ve taken photographs at the spring classic car show in the neighboring town of Millburn. Each time its seemed like its grown and I’ve left wishing I had more time to soak in the beautiful cars and interesting lines. This years entrants ranged from a Ford Model A to a million dollar Enzo Ferrari. Watch the slideshow above or See the set on Flickr.
