I remember the weight of separation vividly. I remember writing custom JavaScript to replace the <a> tag’s target attribute because it added behavior to HTML. I remember dropping the <font> tag from my arsenal of tools, something I don’t regret.

In principle, the rule of separation was good. It helped us explain the best practice and implementation of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It spun the web toward a brighter future. Separation vanquished the <font> tags, spacer gifs and inline JavaScript that polluted the web for years. In the old web structure, presentation and behavior lived in one layer but the principle of separation divided them.

Following up on its December announcement that it would open source the platform — a last-ditch effort to make it viable — HP has gone into detail today on exactly when and how developers will be getting access to webOS code. The company expects the entire open sourcing process to be complete by September, while Enyo, the application framework that debuted on the TouchPad and underpins webOS 3.0, is available as of today along with related developer tools. When open sourcing is complete, the finished product will be known as Open webOS 1.0.

"The new data shows that the iPad alone would be the largest PC vendor and Apple with iPad and Mac combined is selling 5 million more units (or 30%) than the top PC vendor."

"Important as the technology and expertise may be, we find that most companies should focus first on high-quality data, process, people, and culture. Ignoring these is a bit like putting enough energy into a leap to get halfway across a stream; it takes time and money but leads to an unhappy result. We propose four interlocking steps to use your data more effectively and to create a data-driven culture in your company."

Data from 2011 KLRU Member Survey. Kind of an understatement to say that our supporters trust PBS over other news sources.

At frog, we often engage our clients in visually creative exercises to tap their knowledge about a domain and strengthen our partnership in the design process. But, in three different collaborative work sessions that I’ve facilitated with clients in the past year, I’ve been told outright at the beginning: “I’m not good at this, so don’t expect much.”
