News’n’Links’n’Drama

3:40 “Just Build Websites!” Soundbyte
5:30 Breaking Development Conf
9:30 Tim’s Drama: Science and responsive images
19:15 “The Sidebar In Your Site Is Hot Garbage”
24:20 Brad Frost: Mobile Web Problems

Q & A

30:52 1. Tim, you’re a husband and father of three, you write books, run and speak at conferences and still have great looking hair. What’s the secret?
Do you generally favour responsive image techniques that require author ‘intervention’ (e.g. writing or srcset style markup) or set and forget methods such as adaptive-images.com (and why)?
41:30 Have you seen any examples of pages using mostly CSS animation to tell a story? Also, for Tim, how do animated infographics fit into a responsive workflow?
48:35 Isn’t display: table-cell awesome? Why don’t CSS developers use it more often?
56:24 How do you find the people that you want to interview? The reason I ask is because on your site — and most other design sites I’ve found — never talk about or feature any black designers or developer.
