IE 10 Specific Styles

2013-06-12T17:29:48Z

I missed this, but Internet Explorer 10 removes the ability to parse out the conditional style sheets, the browser in the past has often required to get it inline with what every other browser was doing.

5 Things Web Developers Can Teach Web Designers

2013-06-03T19:04:24Z

In my career, I feel like I’ve been pretty lucky — I feel like I’ve had a great working relationship with the designers I’ve worked with.
