With the upcoming Canadian federal election, Peter, our corporate roommate, has initiated a series of informal discussions with our local candidates at our headquarters at 84 Fitzroy Street. Today (Monday) at 2pm, Will MacFadden from the Green Party will be coming around and at 4pm tomorrow …
Cooking Up Improved CSS Tabs
A few months ago, I developed some simple CSS tabs and shared them over at the silverorange labs. Ever since, I've wanted to re-engineer them to improve upon them. Then, last night someone posted over on the labs site encouraging me to nest the secondary menu in the primary list. I stayed up until …
Bugging Your Aunts
At lunch today, our roommate Peter Rukavina made a point that it was a Maritime Canadian trait to pronouce 'aunt' with an O sound like 'want'. According to Peter, everyone else in North America pronounces the word insect-like as 'ant'. I've always thought that the pronounciation like 'ont' was a …
Swiftradius Design
Over the past few months, I've been working with a friend on the branding of his fledgling company. It's been a fun and challenging experience: one that refutes my earlier belief that working with people you know only leads to disaster. Although my expertise is certainly not in the skill of brand …

Reviewing the Disc
A bunch of silveroranges got out on Saturday to play a round of very breezy disc golf at Strathgartney Provincial Park. Upon our return to headquarters, I wrote a bit of a review of our Flathead Cyclone Discs over at silverorange stuff (our reviews site).
Even More Favourite Favicons
OK, this is getting a bit silly, but here are even more favicons I've come across in the past few weeks. I decided to relax my no-anti-aliasing rules a little because some icons like John Hicks, Andy Budd, and Infrangible were too nice to turn down. Thanks to everyone who gave me recommendations …
Mix a Little Alegbra into CSS?
I may be missing something here, but I've been thinking lately that mixing some basic algebra and arithmetic into CSS could offer some really powerful options and solve some common design problems. Maybe this stuff is part of the CSS3 spec, which I'm not too aware of, but if not it might be …
