Hey everyone and welcome to responsive design weekly podcast episode 44! Well a whole lot of awesome has been happening since I last spoke with you over the…. well what ever you’re using to listen to me right now. I was lucky enough to head over for the Adobe Max conference which was three days of some great keynote speakers and some awesome new product demonstrations. Adobe are doing a great job at listening to what you and I want as web designers and developers and seem to be really honing in on making their tools as collaborative as possible. Like with all great conferences it’s he people that made the conference. I got to meet a load of people from Adobe including the some of the amazing team working on Comet. Comet is….. Jay Messinger was there as well, he helped set up the whole open device lab movement which you can benefit from. ODL is….. https://opendevicelab.com/ I also caught up with Brad Frost while I was there and he introduced me to a great guy Dan Rose. Dan runs the website Photoshop Etiquette which you would all go and check out. If you don’t use photoshop go and check it out and share it with your designer friends, and if you do use it then please please please heed the advice. I’m going to get Dan on the podcast in the next few weeks to talk about the responsive workflow, especially through photoshop and get him to share his experiences. I also met a guy, David Blatner, who works on a lot of illustrator and Indesign stuff. We talked about books and bringing books into browsers to make the content universally available. This really struck a chord with me as I’ve been working on taking a PDF version of an old books and make it available for everyone online (and offline). There’s a bunch of great examples of books being made freely available online including: AMP is a thing. Accelerated Mobile Pages - something that came out of google. Makes things faster, we love that Forces you… FORCES, to include Javascript in the head of the document and doesn’t work it it doesn’t load. Requires you to use on AMP HTML elements, so image elements have to be AMP-ImG. They have outlawed a bunch of other HTML elements which just seems wrong. To me it seems like going back to developing two versions of your content, one for m. sites and one for your regular site. Except now it’s one version for everyone except google, and AMP for googles fast news. Focus on making your site really really quick. Good points is its not that hard to set up. I managed it on the RWD.is site in around on hour. It’s not styled, but it has the template that is required but there downsides are…. no images no styles The URL must have a query string with the CMS I’m using. It’s kind of like using RSS, except you’re restricted from using the HTML that you would usually drop into an RSS feed and forced to use their own Google do do a lot of great things though. Like on Chrome on Android if you have

We humans have this seemingly innate desire to measure everything. Yet what are we really observing, what are we measuring? Since we can only observe a narrow slice of the world around us, most of the universe exists far beyond what we can see, hear, feel or touch. Popular science writer David Blatner, in his book Spectrums: Our Mind-boggling Universe from Infinitesimal to Infinity takes us on a journey to those part of the universe that are intangible, infinite and invisible.

Thanks for waiting—here's Episode 2 of Dirty Words Design; a grab-bag episode that revisits Episode 1 and further explains Packaging vs. Copy Links, and a "feature" of Packaging that you may not be aware of. I also give a brief overview on exporting a document to PDF while turning all the text in it to outlines; based on David Blatner's article. It's a technique that hopefully you won't have to use, but it's good to know in case you need it in a pinch! Important Links Converting Text to Outlines the Right Way by David Blatner Bumper music is by Creature.
