There are very few places in the world that demonstrate human’s ability to create something practical out of natural beauty and make it even better than the original. Lake Powell, IMHO, is one of those places.
I just finished reading Ethan Marcotte’s extraordinarily easy-to-read and useful book Responsive Web Design for the second time (as you can tell, this site is in desperate need of redesign having been ignored for so long) and can’t stop feeling that his amazing contribution to web design is so obvious that it’s like one of those “duh” reactions: Why didn’t we do this from the beginning?.
Fixed Widths and /mobile? What were we thinking? As of February 1, this site will join the responsive designed ones!
I’m not an expert, but after having tested several responsive design sites and themes for projects I’m taking on in the next couple of months, the whole approach isn’t only obvious, but simple and efficient, very efficient and accessible.
I can’t help the feeling that responsive design takes on the natural beauty of the Internet to make something even better than the original template it is working from (sorry, couldn’t help it). And as a die hard movie fan, Marcotte’s analogies just made reading the book even more fun.
Because responsive design leverages natural aspects of the Internet and avoids investing time designing for mobile devices that change too fast to keep up with, today, I raise my cup (of Cappuccino) to all Responsive Designers out there! You Go RDs, help us build beauty for the unknown!
BUT IF SOPA PASSES much of this wont matter!
