Building on Chris’s earlier post I’ve now posted the video I took of Eric’s talk on Viddler.

I apologise for the jumps - this was the first attempt to record onto a laptop using my camera. I’ve also added some photos to my Flickr account too.

It was a great turnout and it is very encouraging to see so many developers and designers, of varying backgrounds, coming together and getting behind this group.

David and I are heading to the Cleveland Web Standards Meetup this evening. Personally, I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be the first to admit that I need to brush up on the current standards, and I’m genuinely curious about what we’ll cover tonight.

Hope to see you there!

We’ve all felt the need to editorialize from time to time in our comments. It can be cathartic to be a smartass when documenting, or name variables in such a way that shows our displeasure with a task. It’s tempting, sometimes, to put something where you think the client or public will never see it. Be warned: it can rebound on you, making you look unprofessional, and, well…like something of a dork to boot.

A good example of this is what just happened in Cool Cleveland. They recently printed an a letter from one of their readers who was offering some thoughtful criticism of the site.

Note, however, the anchor on the link:

That’s enough to get you fired some circles. Learn from this mistake, and be professional.

Eric Meyer’s post, The Veteran’s Charge, is a good reminder to call foul if you ever think about putting “best viewed in…” or any version of that on your site.

I know the iPhone is a shiny new toy to some, but to develop sites specifically for it is insanity - especially as one of its selling points is iPhone lets you see web pages the way they were designed to be seen!
