Git aliases - a step by step recipe (using...
Want to set up aliases that make Git easier to use? Have Textmate? Awesome. Step 1 - launch Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal). When the prompt loads, enter this command: cd $home It just returns you to the home folder in the event you aren’t already. Step 2 - enter this command: mate .bash_profile This opens your .bash_profile document in Textmate. Step 3 - Once that...

Link: 25 Ways To Make Your Website Accessible
25 Ways To Make Your Website Accessible. Great rundown on ways to make your site more accessible. Very well explained, with lots of resource links. Full disclosure: The author, Dennis Lembree, is ‘kin’ - but the honest truth is that I read this last week, and thought it was great. Only later did I figure out it was by him! Original Article

Your Tools Don't Matter … for infrequent tasks
I had to start a wireframe for a new project today. Easy enough, right? I’ve built a number of them before. But first - what tool should I use? All the cool kids are using Keynote these days, though a good argument for Illustrator was made the other day. I ended up going with Illustrator - mostly because of the above mentioned article. I spent hours obsessing over symbols, styles, grids...

On staying focused
I’m again using a Daily Post topic as motivation for this post. I am definitely a person with a fickle attention span. I have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. When something else shiny comes along - boom! - I’m gone. I have found some a few things, though, that help me focus when need be. 1. Know when you’re capable of focusing. I know what periods of the day are...

Accessibility video course at Think Vitamin
Think Vitamin’s ENTIRE accessibility course is free to view - here! It’s awesome that Think Vitamin is making this particular course free. If you don’t know, Think Vitamin launched a for-pay membership service that allows access to a series of video tutorials. Think of it as Lynda.com with a laser-focus on web design. I’ve only seen a few sample videos, but they are very...

Apple opens the Mac App Store
Find out more about the Apple Mac App Store here. I’ve had a quick play with the store, and so far it’s been great. It works pretty much as you’d expect - just like the iOS App Store. Some notable apps: - Twitter for Mac is available - free. It’s Tweetie for Mac 2. - Aperture 3 is available - and only $80! - iPhoto ‘11 is available as a stand-alone app. I...

Drupal 7 released!
After about three years, Drupal has released it’s next major version. While in my own time I prefer to use Wordpress, I use Drupal on a lot of projects in my day job. It’s a huge event - and there are apparently a lot of release parties to accompany it. Drupal 7 Marketing Video from Jeff Robbins on Vimeo. Original Article
