Designers: never, ever be a pair of hands. If a client says 'just do it this way'. It's your duty to ask why. If no response, then walk away

I have a dream: Rethinking CSS Grids. http://t.co/9SAOXKj

http://t.co/cTdTFHgm is my new favourite thing.

Announcing Gridset: a tool to create advanced grid systems for the web from @markboultondsg. Sign up for updates! http://t.co/14q56UG9

Interesting #cern facts: its work led to the creation of PET/MRI scanners. Also, your iPhone screen was invented there in the 70's.

Well, I hope the Sparrow team are as happy as the Gowalla team. Build up a bunch of loyal users then go tell them to fuck themselves.

I really wish everyone would stop making digital things look like real things. A screen is not a drop shadowed, bevelled, wooden plank.

Fluid grid or perfect typographic measure. Pick one. You can't have both.

A good CMS should fit into a production workflow. Eg: Design > Build > Deploy. Not Design > Build > Rebuild for CMS > Deploy.

Being honest is not the same as being insulting. You can be honest without insulting someone. Think before you speak.

I blogged some thoughts on Responsive Advertising: http://t.co/FkUeMOl2

'Realism' (shadows, bevels, texture) is a crutch. Solve the real UI problem. Strip it right back and ask 'what's wrong?'.

My book, 'Designing for the Web' is now online, completely FREE! http://bit.ly/at7DcI #fivesimplesteps #mbd

'This machine is a server. DO NOT POWER DOWN'. The first web server @cern : http://t.co/uA4Ag4BE

'Design a system, not a page'. Know when I heard that phrase first? 1995. Typography class, Portsmouth Uni. Designing encyclopedias.

'Writer' from @ia is a beautifully crafted application for the iPad. If you write, buy it. http://j.mp/cB9w8z

If there's one rule to live by — online or in real life — it's: 'don't be a dick'. Living by that rule will get you far in whatever you do.

You can only make crap bread quickly. Same for web sites. Love takes time.

Little tip: use odd number gutters. Then you can put a pixel key line in the middle of it and still have an even space either side.

Stop. Look at this! The 967 Grid System: http://t.co/BVSQL0N0
