Preparing to speak at An Event Apart DC. I have to follow @Zeldman. I know, right?
@adactio This is you: http://t.co/Fjrp6mRV
@adactio This is also you: http://t.co/9YY9elKZ @beep
@beep Some days you ride the unicorn. Some days the unicorn rides you. ("You" being a missile-wielding robot)
@adactio Don't knock being ridden by a unicorn. I'm just saying. @beep
Designing something? Define design goals (why), which inform design principles (how), which inform design patterns (what). @adactio #aea
This is delicious. "The Web is Agreement" by @psd via @adactio. http://t.co/58j0OWBi
Robustness key principle of web (and should be a principle of all our design work). Postel's Law: http://t.co/ukGrdcNX @adactio #aea
HTML5 makes changes to reflect real-world coding practices (& flaws).—@adactio
Design by demonstrated behavior. Pave the cowpaths. #aea
We're drawn in by the fresh & shiny of new tech. But real work is unappreciated stuff of making new tech work w/old behaviors. @adactio #aea
Designing new HTML spec is hard, must work w/existing browsers. Like building in NYC: stuck w/old infrastructure, how to piggyback it? #aea
#aea is in DC. Hey, we're near the patent office. @adactio: "We should all go over there with pitchforks."
#aea @adactio just casually dropped the term "octothorpe," his preferred word for the hash or pound # symbol. http://t.co/SYMb5Dy4
Ryanair design principle: screw the customer at every turn. #aea
RT @LAKing: Ryanair design principle: screw the customer at every turn. #aea
If design goals aren't good/generous, then design principles will be evil, & design patterns will be torturing dark patterns. @adactio #aea
Write down design principles ("simplicity is powerful," "every millisec counts"). Great reference/filter for design decisions @adactio #aea
Designing for everyone is impossible. Writing down your design principles reminds you WHO YOU'RE DESIGNING FOR. @adactio #aea
OMG @ADACTIO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE WITH "ONE WEB." #aea http://t.co/MICcVY6b
Jeremy @adactio Keith just released his HTML5 book free in HTML: http://t.co/C353Z1AW (works offline after first visit, too). Waste no time.
