I love Modernizr to check if a browser support a certain CSS feature, but I found myself in the situation where I only had to check for flexbox support. In this case, it seems a bit ridiculous to load Modernizr. You can use the following code instead: Via Ethan Marcotte’s article “Putting My Patterns through […]

This weekend the app got approved on the App Store (after 10 days… jeez… compare that to deploying a website update). You […]
I don’t know what’s happening lately, maybe it’s because I’m in Japan, or maybe because we finally reached a certain point in tech, but every 2 weeks there is some new announcement that makes me feel like I am living in the future. Just a few days ago I saw a video of 2 guys […]
One of my main software projects (which I unfortunately can tell nothing about) is close to a first release. The developers are working hard to iron out the last bugs. As the designer I suddenly found myself with a lot of free time on my hands. My dream has always been to make a movie. […]

The Death of the Agency Has Been Greatly Exaggerated: “Now this doesn’t mean that agencies won’t struggle. With services like SquareSpace and Shopify eating into the lower end of the market, I think many smaller agencies or individuals will find it difficult to complete.” I think the opposite is true, services like Squarespace and Shopify […]
