Hey, hey, hey. May 1st has come and gone and those who have promised themselves to Reboot were either successful, or behind. One of the sites I’m curiously awaiting to check out is Bryan Veloso’s new rendition of AvalonStar.
So what the heck am I doing this early in the morning? I can’t damn sleep, and have been trying to figure out how to organize my shiznit a bit better. I have too much stuff going on (as usual), and need to complete tasks I have set in my to-do list. But it seems that that list just keeps getting bigger and wider (in terms of those URL-bookmarks).
Anyways, just wanted to catch-up with this writing-thingy-majig. Maybe someone out there can help organize things with some cool advise and/or referral gift =)
Speaking of which, here’s some cool things that have interested me in the past couple of days:
- MacBook Pro – yeah, I’m a “switch-hitter” now
- TextMate Basic Tutorials – this will probably change my development workflow for work and on-the-side
- Compiling new “points of inspiration” from the Reboot-ed sites, new and old
- … and the list goes on–but it seems that I should be catching some Zs now as I hear some people’s alarm clock going off; at least I think I’m hearing it
From my mind to yours, keep learning.

I was fortunate enough to be sponsored by M.com/Monster Worldwide to attend @media 2007 up here in SF.
@media: For forward-thinking web design and development professionals, @media, one of the world’s foremost and well received web design conferences, comes to the West Coast for the first time this May 24th and 25th.
The unique presentations from leading industry experts will inspire and educate, covering a multitude of aspects of best practice web design, discussing topics such as user-interface design, accessibility, semantic markup, CSS, JavaScript, and ajax.
Woohoo! I can’t wait to get my badge! haha =)

Well, just re-reading some of the current bookmarks in my bag. To note,
I am trying to clean up and make things more efficient here at work. One goal would be to have a base CSS that will serve as a starting point for our Producers and Frontend peeps. Another goal would probably be a convention on how to use it and/or create new classes and IDs.
One of the things that keeps coming up lately would be the naming convention of classes and IDs. I used to implement this kind of format “class_name”. Then, only to switch to “class-name” in early ‘06. Fast-forward to a couple of months into the year during a project, I came to find out that if you are referring to either a classname or an ID (i.e. getElementById, or something like that) that the value’s hyphen get stripped out. Can someone confirm this phenomena and/or myth? That is, for example, doing “id-name” would be implemented like so:
document.getElementById("idname")
With that however, would it be more readable using a camelCased name? Although against Tantek’s step #4 in terms of saving the user(s) potential headaches. But would there be problems if there was a standard within one’s organization? That is, classes and IDs written as a variable, i.e. somethingLikeThis; no hyphens and no underscore.
I look forward to hearing your endless wisdom on this subject sirs and madams. Thanks in advance.

Let it be known that its All Saints Day today. That and I have finally and officially rebooted this blog to another life. Even though there are still some sub-pages being cranked out later down the week, it should be solid enough to get y’all through =)
Anyways, while my creative juices might be somewhat flat these past couple of weeks (due to endless hours of playing sports, and keeping up w/ fantasy football leagues), it should start flowing… no, gushing out again.
Why is this? Because of a thing that started via a blog post when them flash-heads had too much fun. CSS Reboot, mmm mmm… taste the freshness. It’s something new for the web-standards community to look forward to. Again, I hope you like it. I fooled around with a different approach to the user-experience in contrast to my old blog designs. You’ll know it when you see it. Also, if you encounter any bugs or anything of that sort, please do holler–I’m always open to making things better.
Meanwhile, thanks to the people who visit and frequent the site. Not to mention, special salutation and recognition goes out to BenjaminAdam for heading the CSS Reboot stampede. I hope you spend less time organizing those reboot thumbnails, and more time sleeping and then enjoying the creativity of the community you helped awaken.
Regards and gracias mi amigos,

PS. This is just a memo: “the things we think and do not say” are just the ones that we need to express and let out to the world. This is my train of thought. I hope you hop on it and enjoy the ride.
