Shame on You Apple: A Musical Odyssey
Most of my friends think of me as an unabashed Apple fanboy who drools over Steve Jobs' every word. Truth-to-tell—although I’m a great fan of Apple’s products and design philosophy—many of their policies leave me chilled or outraged.
I was reminded of this recently while I stood watching the band Stricken...
Read More Meeting Bruce
I was watching Andrew Keen speak at SXSW Sunday. He’s the author of The Cult of the Amateur—a book that could be subtitled “everything Jason does is evil and destroying the fabric of American culture,” so I was not exactly an unbiased audience member. It was a surprisingly small room...
Read More Q&A with Jakob Nielsen and Kara Pernice
Few Web pundits stir-up as much debate as Jakob Nielsen. His theories on Web usability are sacrosanct to some and anathema to others. For my own part, I've at times had to strongly criticize his conclusions at one moment while vociferously defending his theories the next. Indeed, my first book...
Read More Web 3.0 at the Library of Congress
Tuesday I'm speaking at the Library of Congress in DC for the Fedlink meeting. They want to know about how they can improve online community aspects of their Web site, so I'll be talking about Designing for Credibility and Web 3.0.

Read More Heading to #WebVisions
I'm sitting on the Tarmac waiting for my flight to leave, headed for the WebVisions conference, where I'll be giving a presentation called "Children of the Revolution: Reaching the Cybernetic Teen". It's an update to talk I gave a couple of years ago at Macworld, but is taking on increased...
Read More Help the Web Safe Fonts
Ok, first a few prezzys for you. If you haven't already seen them, check out my list of Web Safe Fonts. These are fonts that are likely to be installed on Windows or Mac machines (or even both) and can be used by Web designers to vastly improve their typographic...
Read More Trusted Filters at Voices That Matter
In a little over a week I'll be heading cross-country to the City by the Bay for the Voices That Matter conference to talk about trust in design. The ideas I have researched and will discuss center around one central idea that I argue is the most important yet most...
Read More Jason Reads from SiS at SXSW 09
[caption id="attachment_80" align="alignright" width="240" caption="At my SXSW Book Signing. I don't usually look this menacing."][/caption]
At SXSW last week, I read Chapter 3, "The Myths of CSS", from my forthcoming book Speaking In Styles, and then did a book signing for CSS, DHTML, & Ajax at the Barnes & Noble booth....
Read More Interview with New Riders at SXSW 09
I had a great time at SXSW 2009. Met a lot of great people, heard a lot of great ideas, and ate a lot of great food. While I was there, I did a quick interview with Gary-Paul of New Riders about my upcoming book, Speaking In Styles, although it...
Read More What is an “Online Comic”?
It's a little over a week until I'm at SxSW to talk about Online Comics with Richard Bruning (DC Comics), Ron Richards (iFanboy.com), and comic artist Rivkah. Richard is providing an industry perspective, Ron a reader's perspective, Rivkah an artists perspective, and me? Besides moderating, I'll be providing a technical...
