Blogging and all that Malarkey

It’s been a while since I wrote about CSS on And All That Malarkey, ( Ed says: It’s been a while since you wrote about anything here Malarkey!.) I’ve been busy documenting some of my working methods and thought that I would share Stuff and Nonsense’s current…

Last week I came back from a (semi) working trip to New York. As it’s been nine years since I was last in the city, I did all the usual tourist attractions (Empire State Building, Circle Line cruise, Central Park) and I ate hot-dogs and donuts and bagels and…

the CSS Working Group is finally aware that it must include at least one classically trained artist and graphic designer on the team.
