How do you scale CSS for millions of visitors or thousands of pages? Nicole first presented Object Oriented CSS at Web Directions North in Denver. Since then, the response has been overwhelming. OOCSS allows you to write fast, maintainable, standards-based front end code. It adds much needed predictability to CSS so that even beginners can participate in writing beautiful websites.

Great Circle

by karlcow

Great circles are straight lines that go all the way around the center of the earth. The equator is a great circle. Meridians of longitude that cross over the north and south poles are also great circles. For every location on a great circle, it's antipodal location is also on the circle. Other than the equator itself, any great circle crosses the equator at two antipodal locations, 180° apart. Other than the equator and meridians of longitude that run due north and south, any great circle reaches it's maximum latitudes at two locations that are 90° of longitude east and west of the two locations where the great circle crosses the equator.

Les américains surfent (plus) la nuit

by thomas.deyries
* We all share the same morning and evening Internet addiction: On average, European traffic starts picking up around 5am GMT / 7 am CEST and similarly US traffic takes off around the same time at 7am EDT. Internet traffic also reaches its peaks in the early evening (7pm GMT / 9pm CEST in Europe and 10pm EDT / 7 pm PDT in the US). * North American’s don’t surf over dinner: Unlike European traffic, US daily Internet percentages take a small dip in the early evening between 6pm and 10pm EDT. In contrast, Europe traffic keeps climbing through the evening until a marked 9pm GMT / 11pm CEST drop off. Of course, Europeans tend towards later (and longer) dinner hours than their North American counterparts. * What Europeans do at night: Actually, this bullet point should be what Europeans don’t do at night — spend a lot of time on the Internet. In contrast to North America, European traffic plummets much more steeply and reaches a lower daily minimum than US traffic (US traffic never drops below 50% whereas Europe declines more more than 60% from its peak). Apparently, North American Internet users stay up later and use the Internet longer (next blog post we’ll explore what they’re doing on the Internet late at night).

0047 Publications

by karlcow

The increased activity in the Arctic has already begun to change the content and fabric of the urban north. The continued regional development will involve meetings and fusions amongst an array of cultures and styles, between history and modernization, between civilization and nature, between east and west, between nations looking for resources and towns and cities hoping to get a share, all staged in a vast landscape with widespread urban nodes. The question is how these encounters will play out.

Northern Experiments – The Barents Urban Survey 2009 is a collaborative effort to discuss selected key cities and urban phenomena in the Barents Region, containing the northernmost areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and of Northwest Russia. The project is directed by 0047 in co-operation with The Barents Triennale and Pikene på broen.

This short film showcases the city of Montreal on a summer's night. What was once a small Indian village is presented as a pot-pourri of contrasting sights and sounds. It is North America's second largest port and, after Paris, the world's largest French-speaking city. With its warehouses, offices, homes, clubs and amusement parks, the city serves as a bright backdrop for a happy couple out on the town.

Fruitful

by e_D_D_y & 1 other
My name's Jennifer Rice and I recently launched a social-good consultancy called Fruitful based in San Francisco. Fruitful is designed to serve two different kinds of companies: - Those wanting to integrate social good into their existing business models - Those who are already in the social-good space and need to get the word out. I bring almost 20 years of helping businesses identify their north star (mission, vision, values, brands) and align their businesses against it. Now I'm excited to focus my efforts on something near and dear to my heart, and leverage my skills to help businesses make positive change in the world.

RDFa and Web Directions North 2009 from Manu Sporny on 2009-02-09 (public-rdfa@w3.org from February 2009)

by karlcow

There was a great deal of buzz

around HTML5 and nobody that I spoke to mentioned that they were in the

least bit excited about XHTML2, even when asked directly. HTML5 was

mentioned in presentations and conversations throughout the week. The

general feeling was that HTML5 was far more exciting than XHTML2.
